Madison, Wis.-Mrs. L. B. Nagler,
wife of the assistant secretary of
state of Wisconsin, is leading new
method of instruction on the subject
of sex hygiene to school children.
She does not believe in the usual
methods that are employed in schools
where the subject is discussed with
pupils.
She has evolved a method of teach
ing science whereby pupils of any
age or status can be led to see the
value of moral thinking and acting,
and the true reasons underlying the
human code of ethics.
She ignores the usual precepts and
stories with a moral" attached, and
she introduces the pupil directly to
the objects Of nature as means of
conveying the subject.
There is definite order of pro-
cedure and presentation. and each

object is studied first as an individual
entity, in all it's parts and relations,
and then as part of the entire living
universe.
Mrs. Nagler believes if the science
of life known as biology, were to be
adequately and Understandings pre-
sented in the schools, beginning with
children in the elementary grades;
and irrefutable reasons for right Iv-
ing based upon the principles of this
science were given, many of the
evils from which society suffers
would eventually disappear.
"The majority of economic, indus
trial, political and social evils are due
to moral causes" she says, "and
perception of the individuals duty to
society, and society's duty to the in
dividual would eradicate these evils.

quotation of the First National bank

the Liverpool Stave Company had
placed additional liabilities on the
bank. He stated that the trust COM
pany was gong to be realized. but
that he could not say how much of
the business of the First National
bank could be taken over by the new

of the trust company is practically as
sured, but that the First National bank
was already in a process Of Hquida-
ton.

Collections have been surprisingl
good, about two hundred thousand dol
lars having been collected in the past

missioner is authorized to make an
assessment on every bank Ii the state
until he gets enough TO pay In full.
OTHER STATES HAVE IT.
-Four states In the union, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, have
passed depositors' guaranty laws The
legislature of Mississippi is now at
tempting to pass It. The plan 1 have
set forth Is the gist of the Oklahoma
law. I quote this law Of this state
for the reason that it's practical work
ings have proven most successful Its
Of course, the states cannot compel
national banks to contribute to this
guaranty fund, but In Oklahoma, after
the attorney general made a ruling
which denied to national banks the
right to accept the provisions OF the
state guaranty law, great many ma
ttonai banks doing business in the
state of Oklahoma, surrendered theif
national charters in order to become
state banks.
Insurance of bank deposits is the
only form of insurance that Is not in
general use In the commercial world.
It is In use only In limited sense.
Whenever the United States govern
ment or the state, the county or the
CITY. puts money into a bank. that
bank has to put UP bond to secure
that money. That money Is insured.
WHY Is 1t that the other depositors
are not insured? The theory Of insur-
ance Is that all who are exposed to a
common danger shall bear the loss
which, by reason Of misfortune, falls
upon one Of their number. IF every
bank in the state contributes proper
tionately to depos1tors guaranty
fund. the loss sustained by reason Of
the failure of one bank would be
borne by ALL and the depositors would
not suffer. This would work no hard
ship on the banks. Their deposits
would increase to such an extent that
the interest accruing to them on such
increase would pay their premiums to
the guaranty fund.
"The argument has been advanced
that the prudent and conservative
banker would have to make good the
loss caused by the dishonest and reck-
less banker But this Is not sound;
for the reason that there Is, no way
of determining whether or not a bank
err is prudent and conservative until
the bank which he Is managing fails.
When the maker on a note falls to PAL
Il. does the bank hesitate to force the
indorser to pay It. on the ground that
1t would be making a prudent man pay
the debt of q man who is not pru- |
dent?
WHY NOT BANK INSURANCE?
