Press Comment
Another Advance For Women.

Another Advance For Women.
This year for the very first time
women attended in considerable num-
bers as delegates the annual CONVEX
ton of the American Institute of
Banking. held last week in Boston,
Mass. Many of the eighty chapters Of
the American Institute of Banking,
representing 81 900 members through
out the country, have now admitted
women to full membership. Before this
time they were permitted to take the
courses as associate members.
The American Institute of Banking
originally was known as the American
Institute of Bank Clerks and now is a
section of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION. 1t is devoted to the educa-
ton of bank men and women in bank
ing and the establishment and main
tenance of a recognized standard of
education by means of official exam
nations and the issuance of certifi-
Gates of graduation. 1t is claimed that
| the institute has given ample evidence
of its worth by developing men and
women who can see and do things, in
influencing its members to aid in the
betterment of banking and citizenship.
1t has been said by one of the orig
| inal officers of the institute, George E.
Allen, that "a successful banker is
composed of about one-fifth account
ant, two -fifths lawyer. three fifths po-
| litical economist and four-fif gen.
tleman and scholar-total ten-fifths
double size. Any smaller person may
be a pawnbroker or a promoter, but
| not a banker"
Perhaps 1t was with some such ideal
as this in mind that the bankers
started this organization, the first
broad minded, systematic effort on the
part of a great groups Of employers to
advance the standard of character and
promote the efficiency of employees.
Only local and unsystematic efforts
along this line had previously been
made by any other group of employ
ers 1t was claimed that IN no other
i business is SO much responsibility left
to subordinates" as in banks. BY that
time there already had been started
i with. excellent results a few small in
stitutes for educational purposes.
The work grew apace and the re-
suits stand today as an asset OF I'M
told value in thousands of banks in the
land. The Importance of woman's
work has been duly recognized, and
not only are they being given equal
chances with the men to study "prac-
teal banking" commercial law" and
political economy but they are as
, suming their places as members OF
the great organization which means sc
much to the banking interests OF The
country.-St Augustine Record.
