CENTENARY OF SAVINGS BANKS
Origin and Growth of Thrifty Idea
Conceived by Scotch
mnu.


In the little town or Ruthwell in southern
Scotland, there has recently been celebrated
the centenary OF the first savings bank.
1t is true that, previous to 1910, there were
In England and other countries few asso-
Citations for saving; but the savings bank,
in the sense WHICH We attach to the term
had it's real beginning with Henry Dun
can, Presbyterian minister and philanthro-
pist who, In a period of exceptional dis
tress kept down the poor rates Of his par
lsh by persuading people to help them
| selves.
In DR.. Duncan's time, a stocking, a chink
| in the wall or loose board in the floor
offered the only ways open to poor people
for keeping surplus money. The banks then
existing did not accept sums under flo.
and to attain to the height of affluence
represented by that amount was by no
means easy. If one was known to save.
he might be spied upon and robbed, or he
might be deprived Of his money under the
polite disguise of borrowing, or, In an
imagined emergency, he might fall back
upon the reserve fund and use It needlessly
and somewhat recklessly. Or, Duncan be-
lieved that these dangers could be obvl-
ated by a savings bank. Once their money
was. safe in its keeping, he thought, people
would not break in upon the little hoard
except for some urgent reason. g..
This was plausible enough; yet there were
difficulties. The poor were susplcious
politicians, Goblet. the London Times, the
banking interest opposed. But the deposits
in the pioneer bank at Ruthwell. which In
the first year, 1870 amounted to only Elbl
rose In the fourth year to 1922. and, mean
| time the generous idea was being taken up
elsewhere. One of our own great savings
banks dates from 1916, as does one In Phil
adelphia, and It is in the United States,
especially In the east, that savings banks
have sustained their greatest development
By the latest available report OF the comp
troller OF the currency there were In this
country more than 1,40o such banks, having
nearly 100000 depositors and with aggre-
gate deposits approaching $4,000, COCOON '',
When one looks back upon the man who
set this weighty force In motion, the view
is altogether pleasing. Henry Duncan, min
lister, was the son and the grandson Of
ministers. Weighing the number and ex-
tent of his activities, 1t seems a wonder
