WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The al

posed $500, 1000 900 war loan, for no
help can be given by the rank and fle

There is scarcely bank in Chicago.
he said, which dares shoulder any
portion of war loan to the allies,
through fear Of strongly entrenched
German interests. Such banks as are
not dependent upon the German.
American interests for support, he
said, are involved with, the packing
house and Rockefeller interests. both
OF which are admittedly antagonistio
to an Anglo French loan.

bitter resentment for press state
ments that his bank had been negotiat
ing for a portion Of the loan. Forgan's
resentment is believed to spring from
the exact knowledge Of the western
situation.
Eastern and western banking con-
ditions are widely different, 1t was
pointed out. The eastern financial
bulwarks consistently awe the aver
age depositor unless he be man OF
wealth and importance. The rela'
tions between bank and depositor
as rule are formal to the last de-
gree and the depositor usually cares
little concerning tho financial bur.
dens assumed by the bank. so long as
the banks solvency is not impaired.
Conditions in the west are more
informal, said the treasury official
Tho depositor Of $500 in the west
feels perfect right to express his
opinion Of the banks mana cement

sands Of proGerman depositors and
business interests upon whom many
western banks are altogether depend
ent, these depositing interests would
not hesitate to boycott any bank or
set Of banks which assumed too
friendly an attitude toward the allies.

SCHOOL Term
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. P. cIaxton,
U. S. Commissioner OF Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities Of the United
States is hundred and eighty
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff.
ference of f~orty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater!
than this average. In many counties
the average length or the rural
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts it is,
less. On the other hand, in the;
States of California, New York and!
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session n hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long. The country
schools Of Rhode Island are in ges-''
sion one hundred and ninety days In
q year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we. must
even up the school terms OF the
country and givsto all country chill
dren at least as many days as are.
now given to city children. One:
hundred and eighty-fve days of:
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun..
tries in which the schools. both for.
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those Of any 9th.
er country, and this applies to the
rural as well as urban districts.
