We have made every attempt
POSSIBLE to make the convention
program as practical as possible, -
says r. S. Hawes of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the A B. A. There has
beer an effort made to get away
from the so-Called limelight type Of
all-star speakers, to a list of sub
Cects and the takers on these topics
have been gained from the rank and
nre Of bankers or from the govern
nent department dealing with the
measure in question.
. Both for the real value to be
gained from the rich experience Of
these men and the necessity of every
banker contributing his share to the
solution of problems of national
welfare to be considered. no A. B. A
member should miss the Washing
ton convention"

teered to teach you were there to be-
gin their work. Some of you did not
know the alphebet, some of you
could read and write English but
wished to advance further in your
studies. From that small beginning
the class grew until 45 men were en-
rolled. Many of you have been very
faithful in your attendance and
have advanced rapidly in your work.
Many of the teachers have been
faithful often it has meant big
sacrifice on their part to be there"
Some persons have asked why

say in reply that it was established
because we wanted to help you to be
good citizens, because we believe that
