POSTAL BANK FIGHT
SURPRISES BRITAIN
Sir George Young Says In
situations Are Boon to
Poor in England.

Postal savings banks have not only
proved successful in England. but have
been great boon TO the poor. l am
surprised TO learn there will be some
opposition in Congress to the passage
Of the postal savings bank bill. since
conditions in this country do not differ
greatly from those in England
Such were the Views expressed by Sir
George Young. father Of the second sec
rotary OF the British embassy, who Is
ON a visit to his son. George Young, 2033
Florida avenue northwest. after he had
heard the discussion in the Senate yes
terday on the subject OF postal savings
banks
The postal savings bank" he con-
tinued, was first suggested by Glad
stone. Previous to that time in Eng
land we had savings banks, run. princi-
pally. By philanthropic persons and So
cieties- Many of the banks became in
solvent In the latter part of 1860 As a
substitution. the postal savings bank
was introduced. From the very start
this new banking system seemed to iii
the needs for which II was created. and
has been eminentIy successful since.
Question of Greatest Good.
- am told that the postal savings
bank in this country would conflict with
great many private savings banks
However. IL is question of degree Of
benetit-whethcr the evil # interfering
with private effort Is not as great as
the gaps which are left I'm the pubIic's
welfare by non-interference with pri-
Vate effort These. OF course, are things
to b. threshed out, but. 10 me, it ap-
psars they are all matters Of detail
and would not prevent the system Of
postal savings banks being instituted
10 the great advantage Of the people
generally"
Concerning the insurance feature OF
the English postal savings banks. Sir
George said it had not proved especially
beneficial since the aunuities were so
high that the great majority Of poor
people could not take advantage Of
them
Sir George YOung's visit TO America
at this time is purely one for pleasure
Until two years ago he was the English
commissioner OF charities, but was re-
tired on reaching the age limit.
Reformer of English Schools.
1t was due almost entirely TO his ef-
fort that the reforms were brought
about in the English school system,
where Latin and Greek ceased to be as
universalIv studied as was formerly the
case. and more modern subjects sub
stituted IN the curriculum. He also
caused tia disposition OF educational
eudowments TO be transferred from the
jurisdiction OF re commissioner Of
charities to the department OF educa-
1ion.

cial OF the British government 10 Wash
