Can a Bank Clerk Win Promotion =?

show his initiative and energy by taking
the lead and getting the requisite infor-
nation from the Institute. There are
hundreds of these chapters, and they offer
in many cities valuable lecture courses on
money, banking, and investments.
If it is not feasible to form chapter in
the small town from which the letter
came, it is still possible for the young man
to write to the library of the American
Bankers Association in New York City,
if the bank for which he works is member
of that Association, and obtain suggestions
for reading course. This information
the librarian will be very glad to furnish
him. and it will be as detailed as he desires.
There are many excellent correspon-
dence courses covering the whole gen.
eral field of money, banking, investments,
corporation finance, foreign exchange,
commercial law, accounting, organization,
and economies. A postal card directed to
the University of Chicago, the University
of Pennsylvania, the University of Wis
consin, or the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute of New York City will bring full
information.

No Ink on His Cuffs

while touring other coun-
tries.
The business men of his
acquaintance eagerly look
forward to his coming.
They can tell by the cane
he carries what day Of the
week it is and what the
weather prospects are.
And his neck-tie is al
ways in keeping with the
season.
Mr.. PARCEL always has
a new joke to spring on
his friends, usually on
some local happening or
about some man in the
locality.
After looking over
Lueve's apparel and lis
tening to his joke, the
business men are in fine
humor to reciprocate by
giving him the latest
"dope" on business; and
trust Lueve never to miss
a story on his beat.

Some Helpful Books

ONE of the newest books dealing with
- the practical side of banking is Knitfen's
"Practical Work of u Bank However,
it may not be so much with the practical
work of a bank that the young teller de-
sires to familiarize himself as more COM
plete understanding of the whole science
of money and banking. | suggest that he
read Book III, Volume l, of Professor
Taussig's "Principles of Economics,
which he will probably find in his local
public library. Conant's principles of
Money and Banking will give him more
detailed information along the same lines
There are a great many books dealing
with investments, bonds and stocks; but
none of them covers all these sub bjects.
There is one fairly complete book on
bonds known as principles of Bond In
vestment,' by Lawrence Chamberlain.
and think it would be wise for bank
teller to master this work without wasting
his time on more elementary pabulum for
the "small investor" Along with it he
would do well to read any of the several
standard textbooks on corporation finance.
A great many other books might be
mentioned, but too many suggestions will
confuse him, and after reading two or
three books other lines will quickly open
up. The great point is to make start
and stick to it. Better do no reading at
all than start something and then give it
up only half completed.

IT'S the way he dresses

PARCEL at the top of the

Lueve is a business
news reporter, and his
work consists of getting
bankers, brokers, and
other big business men
to let him in on their
deals. He learned long
ago that, to get close to
the big men, he must
create in them a desire to
see him. So he took to
dressing differently each
day-always in the latest
fashion.
He has twenty-eight
canes, all of which were
imported from foreign
countries. Many of
them were given him
by his business friends
who remembered him

Natfanal Bank of this city for over six
years and at present hold the position of
teller. Can you suggest any books or pam
phets that would be of benefit to me in
furthering my knowledge of modern bank
ingo Can you advise where | could secure
literature describing the various kinds of
bonds, such as debenture, sinking fund, etc?
As you know, promotion is slow in the So
called country banks, and l should like to
become efficient enough in this profession to
merit advancement or secure a better posi-
tion with larger bank.
TERE is a type of many letters that
come to this magazine. 1t is a COM
mOnplace fact that reading books
alone will not advance a young man to
positions of greater trust and response
bility. Reading may make a full man,
but it does not necessarily make him
active and efficient. Yet given an initial
amount of energy and native intelligence,
careful, systematic course of reading
will furnish young man with two assets
of great and lasting benefit.
A bank clerk or any other worker in a
financial enterprise is in better position
to handle new problems if he has followed
course of study. Anybody may learn
after time to do certain routine work,
but education helps to give a man that
readiness and versatility of resource which
is needed to open up new paths. A bank
teller may take in money until he is old
enough to retire, and never get any higher
in his profession unless he is able to handle
something besides cash. Emergencies are
harder to deal with than routine, and
knowledge helps one to meet them.
The clerk who is able to explain fully
and courteously to an old lady customer
the difference between bond and a
stock, when the vice-president and cashier
happen to be away on their vacations, is
pretty sure to be at the beginning of a bet
ter position.
But study has still another and differ
ent sort of value for the younger workers
in any business. 1t raises them immensely
in their employers esteem. Many large
corporations will remit to their employees
the cost of course of study in a night
Or correspondence school.
The first suggestion to make to the
bank teller is to organize a chapter of
the American Institute of Banking in his
town, great organization whose very
purpose is to better the lot of the bank
clerk. If there is chapter there already,
he can obtain all the information he desires
about books and courses of study from the
chapter; if not, he can get it from the
educational director of the Institute at
Nassau Street, New York City. If no
one has yet organized a chapter, he will
