"Not all of the parents of the deaf

facilities offered free by the state"
said Supt f. w. Walker. 1.-THE school
is maintained by the state for the edu-

unable to receive instructions in the
common schools.
Besides the department of academic
Instruction equal to that OF the gram

The Kind You Have Always Bought

checks for collection only, thus causing
considerable Inconvenience TO their Gus
toner's
During all this period OF unrest the
business OF our merchants and other de-
positors went uninterrupted. Loans
were freely made at the regular rate,
ana all checks irrespective of their size,
were paid in cash.
Currency was selling at premium OF
3 per cent. yet the writer knows of no
instance where a bank of our city availed
itself OF those conditions and profited at
the expense of others who were not so
well prepared for the financial crisis
which prevailed; on the contrary, cur
rency was shipped TO many points. with
no charge other than the cost OF ex-
pressing.
The advantages OF such institutions to
our community are many and obvious.
Our people have safe repositories for
their savings where funds left in the
savings departments draw liberal rate
OF interest. Our merchants enjoy not
only the knowledge that their drafts
against the funds deposited by them win
be promptly honored, but should they
desire temporary assistance it can always
be obtained in the usual manner Of banks,
and our chamber OF commerce and
Merchants Association are In position
to invite new industries and enterprises
to locate in our city with the assurance
of adequate banking facilities for their
accommodation.
Therefore. when VIC consider that the
assets OF these institutions have increased
to three and "A half times what they
were ten years ago, we think our people,
who, after all, are responsible for this
remarkable growth, should feel justly
proud of the present condition of our
financial interests.
The Washington herald., 1910-10-20

Nothing reflects the progress and thrift
OF a community more than the record
OF it's financial Institutions The increase
OF deposits is evidence of the thrift and
saving disposition Of its people, and tho
increase OF loans Of the progress and
expansion Of it's business enterprises
In 1900 there were two national banking
institutions in our city. with a combined
capital OF $500, 600 and deposits OF about
$50. 600. Since that year the expanding
business OF our manufacturing as well
as our wholesale and retail interests has
attracted new capital to the field Of
banking, and to-day the combined capi-
tel of four banking Institutions is nearly
$3.50 600, and the deposits aggregate nearly
100000. This does not include the one
private banking house OF our city whose
long and honorable career has attracted
a very extensive patronage.
The two oldest institutions occupy con-
spi,uous places on the roll of honor OF
national banks. The proportion of sur
plus and undivided profits to capital
places one fourth and the other tenth
among the strong banks OF the state OF
Virginia The new Institutions are pur-
suing the same liberal policies which
have characterized the Old, and have
established themselves as important fac
tors in the advancement Of our CONNER
cial interests.
The record OF our Institutions during
the several panics furnishes strong evil
dence OF their conservative and sound
policies.

Trs'4~~ THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Since March II, last the new street
car mail collection system has been in
operation in Wilmington.
Aside from the fact that the use
of this method of mail transportation
has been prolonged in your city for
so considerable an interval of time as
this, there have been proofs in the form
of conspicuous public Endorsement of
Il that would seem to render it un-
necessary here TO predict either the
success or the Importance of this pos
tai innovation.
The adoption and extension locally of
this system by the postal department
was sometime ago called for by the
business men OF Wilmington, by their
body, the Board of Trade, by
the local press and even by the City
Council of the city. Action in the
matter is still, however, pending upon
the part of the Washington postal au-
thorities.
1t is respectfully submitted that de-
