FIRST NATIONAL BANK

~ If there is any one set of institu-
stions to which the residents of Val
ley City may point to with pride, it
is her banks. The oldest of these is
the First National Bank, a concern
that has withstood many years of
slow progress only to emerge as one
OF the soundest and best managed of
the state banking houses.
The first bank in Valley City was
started in the spring Of 1880 by Her.
bert Root as a state bank, with a
capital of $4,000. Within q few
weeks negotiations were begun for
the, consolidation of this bank with
another that was in process Of forma-
ton. This deal finally was consum-
mated and the outcome was the or
ganization of the First National Bank
'of Valley City on July 49,, 1881.
& The first officers Of the bank were
among the most progressive and pros
porous Of the pioneers. c. Nice. Reeve
was chosen president; G. f. Kindred
vice president, and Herbert Root the
first cashier. The capital stock Of
this bank was raised to $4,000.
To give detailed history of this
bank would include much of the
earlier financial history of the south
eastern section of the state, for often
its patrons of the early days came for
many miles with their deposits.
From the day it opened its doors
to the public business steadily in
creased and at no time, even during
the most severe days of pioneer
times, was there ever hint Of any
thing but the utmost stability. The
men behind the bank saw that it's
business policy was sound. and that
no methods were adopted save those
that had been tested and found to be
suited to new country.
That the business policy adopted
was the right one was shown many
times during the eighties and early
nineties, when many another bank,
that had been considered sound was
forced to suspend business. Especial
II was this true during the panic
year, 1893, and in 1900, when dry

A large number of women are enter ing the commercial world and are throwing aside the business of the domestic world, some of necessity,

SOME THOUGHTS GATHERED
 AT TEACHERS INSTITUTE
By CORRI NNE CHISHOLM

"The time has passed said one of the
 able speakers of the Jefferson County Teachers institute, ''when school teach CTS are divided into four classes, namely: old men who are too feeble to do any
 thing else; young men who teach just long enough to get money to enter some other profession; young women who are
 using it as a waystation between girl
 hood and matrimony and old maids who have given up hope" Teaching is recog-
 nized now as a noble profession and splendid men and women are staying with 1t and devoting their best efforts to its needs.
 The institute just adjourned was com
 posed of more than 600 earnest individuals
 who have at heart the best interests of
 the future citizens of Jefferson county
 and who attended the institute with the purpose of preparing themselves for more efficient service during the coming ses- sions.
 The institute was conducted in such a way that each teacher knows exactly what work he is to cover in the text
 books and what is expected of him in supplementary way. Valuable sugges- tions have been given by experts In the
  structors and experienced teachers. so
 that each teacher will enter his class room feeling able to deal intelligently with the problems of his especial situa- tion. So much for the teachers relation to his subject matter. The more inn portant adjustment remains 10 be con- sidered-the discovery of his relationship to the human spirits which are to be in his care.
 The first object of the institute, con- cering methods and subject matter, may have been gained through the study of books or manuels, but the second object that of establishing the teachers relation ship to his children and his community could only be gained by a weeks asso- citation with the strong and inspiring per- sonalities that are found among our teachers. The question of how to influ- ence for good the human beings with whom we come in contact arises in every profession, but perhaps more persistently in the lives of teachers, preachers and parents than in any others.
 The following thoughts were pre-
