GRAMMAR Is A NEED
OF BANK CLERK NOW
Conference of Teachers Hears
Of Cultural Background
as New Requisite.
SOME PATRONS DEMAND
Costly Errors Laid to Use of
Slovenly English and Poor
Pronunciation.

SDsciaI Despatch to THn New York HERALD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Miss Alice NJ.
Reynolds. vice-president of the Marshall
and Illsley Bank of Milwaukee. told the
y inference of teachers Of English to-day
that new ultra-cultured type OF bank
clerk is in demand.
More than a mere knowledge Of
mathematics IS necessary now to qualify
young man or woman to serve a
banks interests at their best" Miss
Reynolds said. Financial institutions
require that their employees. especially
those who seek advancement to places
in which they comc i contact with the
banks patrons. slrarf ---ve = cultural
background.
"It is nyhing but consistent for the
bank to require that its employees speak
correct English. I know OF numerous
instances In which costly errors hav,
been made on the books OF a bank.
When they were traced down they were
found to originate in the faulty pro-
nunciation of one .smployee speaking to
another. In q bank written figures must
be absolutely accurate. Why should not
spoken figures also as well as other
parts Of speech?
"Oral accuracy. which banks are COM
Ing to insist upon. can come only through
a substitution of real English-highbrow
.agiish, If you will-for the gutter ergot
which so many otherwise excellent en-
ployees have picked up. This can be ar
rived at only through knowledge Of
the best English literature.
II would suggest that old English be
taught to prospective bank employees
Shalsespeare's English, for instance. or
Chaucer's. If bank clerk would recite
every morning the passage out of Can
terbury Tales beginning, When that
Aprille with his shoures soote the
drought Of March hath perced to the
roote,' he could not fail to become sensi-
tive to the finenesses Of our language
and to treat 1t with respect.
Competition among banks has gone
beyond mere financial proficiency" Miss
Reynolds continued. TT has reached a
point at which. In vieing with one an
other for patronage, banks seek the most
attractive employees. With the increas-
ing independence and economic activity
of women the bank clerk with culture
will be more and more in demand
Miss Reynolds treated the question
also from the point of view of the en-
ployee. Bankers are conventionally con-
sidered hard and inhuman, she said
"but who, bank clerk or any one else
could be insensitive to the misfortunes
and reverses Of clients after he had read
of the struggles of David Copperleld. or
Of the poverty of Robert Burns and some
of the other geniuses Of English litera-
ture?'
