.ENGLAND'S BANK
STOCKS SELLING
At Low FIGURES

- fI-f - T !.
LONDON.-Among English stocks
which have suffered as regards price
quotations during the past few months
must be included the shares of all
the big London banks These stocks
have always been considered invest
ments of the most conservative nature,
and the quotations for the important
banks were frequently four or five
times their par value, showing a net
return to the investor of between four
and five per cent On basis of pres
ent stock exchange prices, however,
the average yield of stocks of the ten
biggest English banks is 6.75 per cent
The par value of English bank
stocks varies widely. The stock in the
biggest bank has paid-up par value
of only $3.50 per share; this stock
is now quoted at $3.50 a share, at
which price it yields the investor six
per cent. Other good bank stocks
have a paid-up par value of from $40
to SIS and are quoted at SAL to $3.50.
To some extent the fall in prices
of these stocks is due perhaps to ap-
prehension of lower dividends result
ing from depreciation in gilt-edged Sc
curities held by the banks, but more
potent influence has been the fact
that large offerings of bank stock
from closing up of estates have come
upon a narrow and even unwilling
markets. e

der the instruction of capable, pains
taking teachers, and many institutions
make education the. standard by
which he may secure his release from
the Institution.
In years gone by, the primary
consideration of reformatory insti
tuition was TO create some sort of oc.
cupatIon that would bring to the state
as great revenue az possible. How
much can boy be made to earn" was
the thought foremost in the minds
of those in authority. Such ideas are
degrading and debasing, making the
labor of the hoy the primary consid.
Grafton instead of his education and
reformation.
Let me suggest what might term
model reformatory. First, an insti-
tuition created by a magnanimous peo-
pie for the sole purpose of reforma-
ton and not for profit The Cottage
System to be taken as the basic prii-
oiple, in its broadcast sense. Boys to
be carefully classified, corgregating
only those of like temperament, pre-
sided over by trained men and
women. stss sltS
"sThe occupation of the boys, to
teach them the nobility Of labor and
how to rise above the necessities of
today, with military training, music,
athletics, and as many other infIu-
ences as would feature the Institution,
depriving it altogether, although an
institution for juvenile delinquents, of
a semblance Of that which partakes Of
a penal institution. Such an institu.
ton as above described is, in my opin
ion, a possibility.
"'It has been my observation all
through years of experience that re
formation of boys is regarded of too
little Importance, the primary thought
being to rid society of boy whom
they considered menace. The ne.
glect of child has led in majority

quite effective. Not one of them is

as though we all took the hint and
