the legal phases of the work.
To her is conceded by the chief of the
division and her office associates as COM
plete and thorough knowledge of the ma
tional bank act and its numerous and
complex ramificatfons as is possessed
by any one. To equip herself fully for
promotion to the position she now
holds she took a night course in law
at the Washington College of Law,
graduated with honors, and her work
has included the passing upon legal
questions relating to the national bank
act, as well as the constantly recur-

recent federal reserve act.
The bankers of America represent
the highest type of the Intelligence of
