The Human Factor

The spirit of democracy which has
been leveling down castles and classes
within nations has now invaded indus
try, with the result that the skilled me-
chanic has ceased to be the Industrial
aristrocrat he was few years ago,
says the Chicago Tribune. There are,
of course, a number of trades In which
the human factor Is still in the as
tendency; where Individual skill is
recognized and paid for. In the ma
Jority Of Industries. however, perfected
machinery takes the place of industrial
skill. The unskilled, ignorant laborer
is on a par with the man who has had
years Of experience.
These facts need to be looked square,
ly in the face, need to be emphasized
just now, especially because of the
false construction which Is being put
in certain quarters upon the movement
for a better and more thorough educa-
ton OF the working people. Many adj
vocates of continuation courses for
children between the ages of IA and II
who are obliged to go to work convey
the impression that industry is clamor-
ing for more educated, more skilled
workers; that 1t is accepting the I'M
skilled, uneducated laborer under pro-
test. Educate yourself a little moro
and employers will grab you and your
wages will go up automatically. That
The danger of such assertions lies in
the fact that there Is some truth in
them. We are suffering from want
of properly trained mon in few highly
specialized occupations. In these occu-
pations boy with good training may
be given preference over boy with a
poor education. In the basic industries
of the country, however, the education
of the worker Is not taken into ac-
count. His health and strength are.
The skilled work in the iron and steel
Industry. for instance, Is done BY ma
chimes. The man directing the machine
needs no special educational Qualifica-
tons In other words. the unskilled
man Is not there by accident, but by
design. Industry needs him.
To make children believe that two
| or three years attendance at an even
| ing school gives them a passport to
higher wages is to mislead them. Bet
tier, more enlightened citizenship is ar
gument enough for more prolonged
and thorough training Of the children
Of the masses.

Personal Equation Already
Felt in Way Pleasing to
Students of Finance
MANY STATE BANKS
EXPECTED TO JOIN
New System Looked Upon as Incon-
ceivably Great Influence in Slim
ulating and Regulating
American Business
nv HOLLAND

New York, November S-(Special)-so
far the human equation, so-called, which
has sometimes been spoken of as a pos
sible weak place in the federal reserve
system, has not revealed any weakness.
In this city the judgments and the direc-
lions of the federal reserve board at
Washington have inspired confidence.
which. If the board is aware Of it, must
be gratifying to It's members. This is
due In great measure to the evident clear
ness of the understanding of the reserve
board of what the principle if not ex-
elusive purpose of the new national bank
ing system is. The recent rulings and
dir ections that have come from the board
are spoken of here as excellent demon
stration not merely of the technical abil-
statesmen-like conception of what the re-
lation of an american banking system
should be to American business and in
duotrial life
The attitude of the board is that the
new system must facilitate in every reas-
ona BILE way American industrial. agricul-
tural. commercial and financial life. This
does not mean that the banks are to be
prohibited hereafter from lending as
sistance to those who contemplate estab-
fishing great commercial or business ac-
tivities. On the other hand, there will
be little opportunity, and presumably lit
tie disposition, to utilize the new system
for the purpose of promotions that are of
no value to anyone excepting the pro-
moters.
The attitude of the regional bank in the
largest and most influential reserve dis
trict of the United States, that of this
city, Is spoken of as in perfect sympathy
with the formulated rulings of the federal
reserve board and also with the spirit OF
purpose which is now so conspicuously
characteristic of the board. The human
equation will not be found wanting SO
far as this regional bank is concerned,
and presumably so far as all of them
are concerned. The attitude taken by Ben
lamin Strong, Jr., and his associates in
the management of regional bank for
this district is one which suggests both
conservatism and caution at the begin
ming and yet conveys promise of reas-
enable assistance as soon as practicable
in stimulating and facilitating business
not only In this district. but throughout
the United States.
Apparently the purpose is tc proceed
cautiously at the beginning. There are
some experiments to be made Inc ma
chinery of the new system must be care
fully adjusted, so that there may be as lit
tie friction as possible. This regional
bank will not encourage at first new I'M
dertakings which involve investments of
large capital. But the time is surely

coming when. if the conditions are fav-

resources and particularly for the expan-
sion of our foreign trade. and this pur-
posss.the banks of the new system will
encourage. :.
How far-reaching and profound Is the
confidence already felt in this new sys-
tetm was Illustrated by the statement
made public at Philadelphia a few days
ago by the influential representative OF
the Investment Banking Association of
the United States, who said that IL was
his earnest hope that speedily majority
and ultimately all of the state-chartered
banking institutions of the United States
would seek membership In the new sys-
tenn.
The attitude of the stated chartered in
situations toward this new system has a
parallel in the disposition manifested by
the state-ehartered institutions after the
old national banking law went into effect
in civil war days Slowly. reluctantly,
one after another of the state banks sur
rendered their state charters and reor-
ganized under national charters. Four or
five years passed before majority of
the state-chartered institutions gave up
those charters and took out federal char
tiers. In all probability the great major
ity of the state banks OF the United
States would have been operating under
federal charters long ago but for the fact
that state charters permitted some trans
actions which the federal banks were
prohibited by law from undertaking.
