MENTAL PLEASURES
The higher education of women
should be sought wholly without
regard to a professional or matri-
monial future. The mental dis
cipline that it affords; the mental
pleasures that it makes possible;
the enjoyment of reading and
study that il invites are enough in
themselves to be compensation for
the effort in securing ii.

my view of this is inspired by that
sense of infa llibility which DR.. Da-
Vid Starr Jordan ascribes as a re-
suit Of the training at Harvard or

not help giving expression to IT.
It seems to me that there must be
a close analogy in the benefits de-
rived from the associations of life
in Byrn Mawr and those which
every graduate of college and

One Of the great advantages of

Of kind Of life which she is to lead.

UNUSUAL DECREASE
IN BANK DEPOSITS
Bank Commissioner cockreIl Issues
Consolidated Statement of Con
dltlon of state Banks.

Guthrie, Okla, July 20.-A decrease
of $4,447,193 in the deposits of okla
homa state banks between January 81,
1910, and June 30, 1910, is shown by
the consolidated statement issued yes
terday by Bank Commissioner f. B.
Cocl1rell. The total deposits on jan
uary 81 were s49.92S, ,74404, and on
June 30, s45,4s1 ,55OS5. While some
shrinkage usually is expected in bank
deposits at this time Of the year on
account Of money being withdrawn to
move crops, the decrease this year
seems to be greater than usual. Last
year a comparison between the state
ments Of February 5, 1909, and June
%. 1909, covering practically the same
period, showed an increase In deposits
Of $7552, ,22402 That increase was I'M
usually large because Of conversions
by very large number of national
banks during that period, but the con-
versions do not seem to account en-
tirely for the difference between condi.
tions then and now. amounting alto
gether to nearly Si2o00,6t0
The present report also shows de
crease in the average reserve held
from 4O.2 per cent 70 S55 per cent on
June 2S, 1909, The average reserve was
42.s per cent.
AS result Of Bank Commissioner
Cockrells campaign against over
drafts, that item has been cut almost
in two being decreased from s1,3tSf
004.66 to s710.526.S6. The loans and
discounts have increased from s3S.
