igual sistema fundamental con los
indianos en- America, sino que la

es that one new feature of the banks

o clock.
The eleven trustees who are devot-
ing practically all of their time to the

meeting last Tuesday and elected the
finance committee which will pass on
all applications for loans. The COM
mittee elected is President Weeks, Vice
President Allan Calhoun and Frank w.
Tuttle, and John James and F. c.
Dyer.
Though deposits have not been trans
ferred in large sums they have been
coming in steadily and the process of
transfer is underway in many instances,
the bank having arranged to pay inter
est at 4 per cent on all transfers COM
pleted before July 10.

the English language and are studying
it under the tutorage of one OF the
American students, Leighton Wade. In
