NEED FOR SANITY IN BLACK

outburst of sensationalism. Every per-

SLOW BUT SURE SUCCESS OF A
BAY STATE NOVELTY.

From time to time appears evidence
OF the gradual but gratifying success
of the Massachusetts plan OF savings
bank insurance and old age annuities.
Enough insurance of this new kind is
being written, according to reports, to
indicate that there is nothing imprac-
ticable in the plan and that, as its ad
vantages become more generally I'M
derstood, very large development may
be expected.
1t is reported that during the week
ending March 6 nearly $4,000 of saw
ings bank insurance was recorded, and
that the total is now in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. At the present rate
OF development, it would seem, the mil
lion mark may be passed before sum-
mer 1t was evident from the outset
that considerable educational effort
would be required to accustom
people to radically new insurance
proposition. which, though distinctly
popular in form, has had to depend for
success largely upon the enthusiastic
endeavors of unpaid solicitors. How
ever. it has also been evident that the
persistence and patience which many
large employers Of labor are willing TO
exercise in order to make the benefits
OF. the plan known to their employees
would WELD proportionate results; and
such has been the case.
Most of the savings bank insurance
written thus far has been reported
from manufacturing establishments
whose offices have undertaken to serve
as agencies of either the Whitman
Savings Bank OF the Peoples Savings
Bank of Brockton. The general public
| Is still far from being az custOmed to
take out life insurance policies at the
same store where it buys a pair of
shoes or yard of satin. But that viii
come IN time.
1t viii come about more quickly in
the cities. Of course when some local
savings banks take the step Of open
/ inc insurance departments. The action
OF one OF the Boston labor unions in
voting TO appropriate 81 900 out of its
treasury as contribution toward the
$4,000 guarantee fund which has to
/ ne raised 20 establish such a depart
ment, is significant. 1t shows that
many OF those who, under the new
law. would be encouraged TO practice
industry and thrift more than ever are
eager to take advantage OF this very
practical and very promising oppor-
tunity.
