Well, then, if you are ashamed of your

PROF. CLAYTON AT
WASHINGTON COLLEGE
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation Visits Tennessee
Institution

Bristol, Tenn. December 1.-(Special)
Prof. P. P. Claxton, United States com
missioner of education. was the guest of
Washington college. historic Presby-
terian school in east Tennessee, today,
having gone there in response to an in
vitation from DIR. James T. Cooter, presi-
dent of the school.
Professor Claxton spent the day in con-
ference with the faculty and members of
the board of trustees looking to a plan
to give government aid to the agricul-
tural work of the institution. He Is inn
pressed with this school particularly on
account of its eminent history. The col
lege records show that hundreds of men
of influence and national prominence
have been educated In this school. AT
one time. for example, as indicated by
a review made by one of the presidents
of the institution, % graduates of this
school were serving in the two branches
of the United States Congress.
This school was founded by Dr. Samuel
Doak. a pioneer educator, who came from
Pennsylvania into the Appalachian re-
gioh prior to the American revolution.
and whose prayer it was that fired the
men for duty who fought and won the
battle of Kings mountain, which marked
the turn of the tide in the revolution.

George l. Seney was president. There
were assets in plenty but We're slow as
sets The clearing hourse nursed them
so that excellent results were obtained.
The Future of the South
Mr.. Munsey's friends in this city say
that he has ventured into the banking
business in Washington and Baltimore
because he has been for some time per-
suaded that speedily there will come from
the southern states very great and fairly
profitable opportunities for financing
southern industries. This demand, Mr.
Munsey was convinced, would be strongly
felt as soon as the Panama canal is open
to navigation. By the liquidation of one
of the large trust institutions of Wash
ington. and by the absorption of its de-
posits, or such portions of these deposits
as may find their way to the books of his
institutions, there will undoubtedly be
thereby gained greater influence and
greater facilities so far as the financing
of important industrial and commercial
in the south are concerned.
Moreover, the swift and overnight initia-
tion, consideration and conclusion of this
transaction Illustrate the ability of mod
ern bankers instantly to avail themselves
of their knowledge and experience. not
only to their own advantage, but to the
protection of the community
Something of this kind was done. when
after the Baltimors fire one institution In
that city was in temporary embarrass-
ment; they telephoned from the City bank
In New York to Washington there was
instant concentration of cash in WASH
ington in obedience to that telephone,
and the dispatch of a special train for
Baltimore with this cash before banking
hours. ehdisplay of this cash In the
Baltimore institution served almost in
the twinkling of an eye to bring peace out
of disorder and to put confidence in place
of distrust

Nv HOLLAND.

New York, December L-(Special)
There are several features associated with
the swift overnight transaction which re-
suited in transferring completely to the
trust institution at Washington identi-
fled by the name of Frank A. Munsey
the obligations, resources, assets and, as
far as may be. the deposits of another in
stitution which a year or two ago was
thought by bankers in this city to have
great career.
In the first place, the transaction illus
trates a general tendency to lessen the
number of banks established in at least
the larger communities. That tendency is
to be discovered by reading the clearing
house sheets which tell of the number
of banks in this city now under the clear
ing house and the number in that organ
ization years ago.
Notwithstanding the growth of New
York and the wonderful prestige it has Sc
cured within 20 years as an influential
force in the money relations of the world,
the tendency has been constantly toward
a decrease in the number of banks. Many
years ago when the free banking law
adopted by the New York legislature stim-
ulated investment Of capital in banks
they grew up like mushrooms So, also,
later the discovery that institutions which
took out charters which designated them
as trust institutions enjoyed profitable and
very large banking opportunities which
were denied to national banks led to
very large increase in the number of in
stitutions of that kind In New York
state, and especially in New York city.
But the capital which was invested
in these institutions and with which small
cred that sure and reasonable profit could
be obtained chiefly through the grouping
together into a single institution of twd
or three or more of the smaller institu,
tions.
Our bankers have spoken for some yeaIt
of tendency observed in Washington to.
ward an increase of banking institutions,
and some of them have been persuaded
that ultimately certain of these institu-
tions will find 1t to their advantage to
combine their resources, assets and de-
posits under a single control.
The taking over of one trust institution
in Washington which is presumed by
bankers here to have been embarrassed
for a reason which has brought embar-
rassment to many other banks-namely,
the acceptance of security which had not
the quality of immediate marketing-is
presumed here to show that in Washing
ton as elsewhere, the tendency to =conson-
date two more institutions into one is
sure to prevail.
