perience have taught the lesson that there are times when there must be bank of banks. The great central banks of Europe perform the service abroad, and in our own country the federal reserve banks act as fly wheel and governor of our financial machinery. Banks need to borrow at times, just as do individuals, ana rhey can concentrate their surplus or re- serve in the federal reserve banks just as people accumulate their sav- ings i'll ordinary banks. The federal reserve banks have power of note issue. Banks borrowing upon their securities are given federal reserve bank notes of circulation. The cir culation is retired when loans are re- paid. The federal reserve system serves, to some extent to equalize the rates of interest in different sections of the country.
 Organization and Operation of Com-
 merciaI Banks.
 It will hardly be possible to describe here the detail of organization and operation of each of the different classes of banks. So we will take the commercial bank plan Of organization and operation as model. Bank work may be roughly grouped in three divi- executive, teller and bookkeep- lng-and this classification holds, no matter what the size of the bank, or whether it is commercial. trust or savings bank. or whether the larger part of all the duties fall upon one man, as is the case in the very small country bank or upon several hun dred men, as is the case in the large large city banks.
 The internal organization of the bank consists of: Stockholders, who own the bank; directors, who direct the policy of the bank; officers, who manage the bank, and, clerks, who do the detail work.
 Here is an illustration of a typical banking transaction:
 The Opening of New Account. A new customer, upon opening an account at the bank, makes out de- posit ticket, upon which he enters the amount of his currency, gold and silver in their respective blank spaces pro- vided on the ticket, then he lists his out-of- town checks, which is checks

 6. Pay strict attention to orders and obey them implicitly.
 f. Show a willingness to do more rather than less, than is expected o you.
 s. Know your job and don't be con- |. mt with less than all there is tc know about it.
 3. Spend a part each year in syste matieal study and reading on bank ing.
 10. Keep in strict confidence every transaction of the bank of whatever natura.

positors of bank are protected by law in every possible way and losses are slight. The first bank established in the United States in 17S1, is still doing business at the same old stand, the Bank of North America, Phila- delphia.
 The First Savings Bank.
 The first practical savings bank WAS operated by Miss Priscilla Wake field of Tottenhanl, near London, England, in 1862. It was called the Frugality bank Credit for being the originator of the first trustee tor mu- tuaD savings bank is given to Dr. Henry Duncan of Ruthwell, Scotland, who in 1910 started a bank for sav- ings in connection With his parish. This was the forerunner of the Edin- burgh Savings bank, which is now 1he third largest trustee savings bank in the United Kingdom and has ten branches.
 From the Bank of Venice, 115O and the Frugality bank, London l (1S02). the modern complex banking system has been evolved. ] The Modern Bank.
 Banks are storehouses where the equivalent of surplus wealth-money- may be accumulated and loaned for the purpose of creating more wealth. Thus 1t will be seen that still another virtue, thrift, which we are accus- toned to urge upon one as bringing it's own reward, IS after all a cold busl- ness necessity. Men must work, pro- duce surplus wealth, save a part of it or there will be no storehouse of money and credit which is so essential i to the production of both the necessi- ties and luxuries of life. The hum blest wage earner who puts aside only small fraction of his income, is do- ing more than fortifying himself against the future. His accumulated savings added to those of all other classes, rich or poor, placed in banks and by them loaned out, make possible the industry that gives work and sustenance to all.
 There are many ways in which vested. For this reason there are sev- eral different kinds of banks, but they may be roughly classified as follows: 1 Commercial
 Most important Close contact to industrial world. Serves manufactur- ing merchants and tradesmen. Note issue as well as deposit and discount features.
 Trust
 Principally serves those who have fixed incomes from investment. Land owners and corporations.
 Savings
 Serves the wage earner and thrifty of all classes.
 But each of these classes may be subdivided into many different classes, as in large cities some banks are highly specialized in one particular branch of finance, but in smaller cities they are, as rule, all combined in one.

Where Did the Word "MoneJ7 Come
 E-nGHH

Where Did the Word "MoneT7 Come
 The name money" comes rom '.moneta," given by the Romans to their silver coins and derived its name from the fact that these first silver pieces of the Romans were coin ed in a building on Capltoline Hill dl- rectlv attached to the temple of Jupl- ter Moneta. The term originating ahout the time the Romans first be- can to make coins of silver, 269 E. C. Juno Moneta,' goddess of money ] Who Made the First Cent.
 Vermont was the first state to is- sre copper cents. In June 17S5, she granted the authority to Reuben liar mon, Jr., to make money for the state for two years. In October of the same wear Connecticut granted the right "to coin 10000 pounds of copper. Massa : chusetts in 17S6, also made one-half cents. New Jersey in l7S1. In 17Sl the continental congress directed Robert Morris to investigate the mat ter of government coinage. He pro- posed a standard gased on the Span ish dollar, consisting of one hundred units. each unit to be called cent. This was rejected. Jefferson in l78G had one hundred units of one cent each substituted. Hence our dollar.
 The early coins were of plain edges. but it was discovered that some dishonest people were making a prac- tlce of shaving the edges of gold coins and the silver coins of larger denominations, and selling the shaw ings, thus reducing the value of the coins. It was decided to mill the edges of coins so that shaving ol chipping might be readily detected Some of the smaller coins, such as pennies and nickels, arc still made with plain edges. but the silver and gold coins are all milled edge.
 Money.
 As far back as history goes we have record of some form of money. Civil ization has been unable to exist even in crude forms without something which represented "value" to be used as medium of exchange.
 It is a common belief that Ameri- can finances had their origin in the settlement of New England. but this is so far from the fact that com- plete system of finance, with hints money. loans, interest charges, as counts, treasurers, auditors. etc., was found by Cortez on his entry into Mexico a century before the Pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth Rock.
 Every civilization early in it's de velopment confropts the necessity of a medium of exchange.
 Banks History.
 As far back as we have history Ot money we have had places of safe keeping for money. But the first bank worthy of the name was es- abolished away back in Venice in ll57 almost a thousand years ago. Banks have always been regarded as the safest place for money and they have deserved their reputation. The de

drawn upon banks in another town, following, his out-of-town checks, he lists the checks drawn upon banks i in his own town, which are called 'iocal' checks. The total of ali of these items is entered at the bottom of the ticket. The teller verifies the correctness of the deposit ticket by carefully checking each item, count ing all the cash, examining the checks for correctness of dates and endorse ments, and comparing the signatures of the makers on the checks drawn 1 upon his own bank with the signatures of the customers on file in the signa- ture case. The new customer is asked to sign his name upon a signature card, which IS filed in case handy for the teller to consult when checks come in for payment bearing his name. Our new customer IS given a paSsbook, upon the cover of which the teller has entered his name. and upon the first inside sheet the amount of his deposit. He is also given a check book containing a number of blank forms for giving orders CT checks upon his account with the bank. The transaction, so far as the GUS 1 toner IS concerned, is closed, until he has more money to deposit or with draw. The teller, however, has re ceived from him cash, which is as sorted in the proper tills and pack ages. local checks Cn other banks, which are turned over to tie bank messenger, who lists them with others of like character they are sent to the clearing house, where all banks send a representative once a day to ex- change checks received upon each 1 other during the days business. The i checks on Out-Of- town banks are turned over to the transit department, from whence they are sent to the out of-town banks for collection. The checks on his own bank are turned over to the individual bookkeeper, who l charges them up to the drawers. The 1 deposit ticket goes to the individual 1 bookkeeper who, by the way. is the | bookkeeper in charge of the checking accounts of individuals, firms and cor porations, where new sheet is started in the ledger bearing the new customers name, and the amount of his deposit entered thereon.
 There are hundreds of various kinds of transactions in connection with banking, the details of which would require a day to enumera e. and many which never happen the same way twice.
 Banking Opportunities
 The opportunities for young men and women who are ambitious to suc- ceed in the world. in the banking field are ever incre asing. The field is be- coming wider and wider every year Training is becoming more and more essential. The expansion of our foreign trade has caused a movement for establishing branch banks in foreign countries and foreign de- partments in the city banks at home
