GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS.

John Schuette, the we'll known and
able advocate of insurance of bank de
posits has taken A. J. Frame to task fol-
his statements regarding the failure Of
the Oklahoma state bank. Mr.. Schuet
te writes cogently on the subject. Hi.
letter is as follows:
1t seems that Banker A. J. Frame i.
beginning to fear that he will eventual
ly be compelled to safeguard his depos
itors. am sorry to see that he is max
ing misleading statements in his efforts
to defeat the proposed law for insuring
deposits.
For instance, he is reported as saying
THAT the big failed bank in Oklahoma
owned 50, 5000, 600. 90 and had only $780,.
10000 to pay with, and that the state
must provide the big sum of ~, 900, O0O..
90 as yet unprovided for" Now, what
are the facts?
1st The amount required to pay all
depositors is nothing like the amount he
claims, and l am informed will be made
good by the stockholders OF the bank.
2nd The State of Oklahoma, or any
other state having the Depositors Insur.
ance Law, is not liable for a penny lost
III bank failure. The State is only the
collector and custodian of the Insurance
fund, and supervises and controls the
Insurance department.
But what Mr.. Frame or | may say a.
bout the Oklahoma Bank failure is only
hearsay and cannot be as trustworthy
as that coming from an official who is
on the spot and has the matter under
his direct control, and such person is
the Bank Commissioner of Oklahoma,
Mr. A. M. Young, who writes as follows
TO the Chicago Banker
The Oklahoma Banking Law is a
complete success even against the per
sistent opposition of a strong element
the other class of bankers. We adjust
the affairs of an embarrassed bank with
perfect ease in a very few days and with
no public clamor whatever. Everybody
is in good humor, and conditions are
normal Other state banks are quiet
and gaining in deposits.
Now let us contrast an insured bank
against one not insured. The failure of
an Oklahoma Bank, one of the largest
in the State, because of being insured,
caused no serious anxiety nor disturb
ance. The Mineral Point Bank in Wis
consin, only small bank which failed
about the same time being not insured,
created a panic and caused suicide,
while thousands of depositols, many of
whom have their life's savings therein,
are worrying over the final outcome (
Even If this bank should finally DAY
all in full the general ruin following its
failure, will be more, estimated in dol.
lars, than the direct loss to the deposi.
tors.
The National government recognizes
the weakness in our banking system.
and because the bankers refuse to safe
guard their depositors, proposes to es.
tablish safe banks of its own in its Post
Offices.

The relation Of the public roads to
education is one which has largely been
overlooked. 1t is a more or less we'll
known fact that we have in all our
states u number of illiterates While
there are number of contributory
causes to illiteracy, it is significant to
note that in four states where the aver.
age percentage of improved roads is
30 50 the percentage of white illiterates
is only 03l of / per cent of the total
population and in four states in which
only 1.5l of the road mileage is improv-
ed the per cent of white illiterates is
4,G. 1t is probable that bad roads are
partly cause and partly an effect of
ignorance but If certainly appears that
the two are closely related - From the

EDUCATIONAL.

The first annual convention of the
city uperintendents of Wisconsin,
called by State Superintendent G. p,
Cary in accordance with the provisions
of law of 1909, met at Madison on Oc.
tober | and ,
Ex Governor Hoard, now President of
the Board of Regents of the University,
discussed mainly the need of closer
adjustment of high school courses to the
needs of the communities in which the
high schools are located On this sub.
ject he said in part
The curriculum of the high school is
based upon the necessities of the univer-
sity to an extent, in my opinion, that is
subverslve OF the best interests of the
great majority of the pupils in the high
schools. l do not like the situation.
The state has been carried away, com.
pletely carried away, with the idea of
standing accredited to the university.
Il have strong opinion that the high
school of today should be made of more
service to the common men who will
never go any further. ! believe that the
local high school should establish its
own curriculum and that it should be
absolutely without interference on the
part of the university or any of its
Offices
superintendent Cary emphasized the
necessity at this time of serious effort
on The part of uperintendents TO secure
the adequate Fairgrounds both for the
schools and for the city at large. He
said that the time had come to Danish
the common drinking cup for schools
and to replace it with the sanitary foun.
tain or with individual drinking cups.
He urged the necessity of better provi-
sion for ventilation of school buildings.
He emphasized the fact that algebra is
very poorly taught in most schools and
that All effort should be made to improve
the teaching of this subject Superiu
tendents were urged to give especial at,
teDtion to the work of beginners in
teaching and to aid them in every posi-
BILE way TO become efficient teachers.
