IBANKERSHAVE
LECTURES FOR
OUR SCHOOLS
Children to Be Informed
On the Principles of
Banking

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 81
Plans of the American Bankers
Association to dispel mystery about
bankink in the public thought by
taking the bank to the public
school this Fall were outlined to
the American Institute of Bank
ing here today by John H. Pueich-
Ell of Milwaukee. Mr.. Puelicher is
chairman of the associations COM
mittee on public education.
By showing that they occupy a
useful place in society, the bank
ers nope to cut the foundation
from under a radicalism that
thrives on ignorance of the SER
vices .of the banking business, he
said.
"Ten lectures on banking have
been carefully prepared, one for
each month of the school year,
starting with next September"
Mr.. Puelicher related. "The bank
er nearest the school is to deliver
the lectures to the 7th and 9Th
grades of the common school, to
the high school and the college.
He will simply refer to the outlines
for ideas and background, localiz-
ing the story, using illustrations
and incidents familiar to the child
rem.
Gle will show them specifically
what banking is, telling them about
it's origin and its purpose in our
commercial scheme. Then after
two or three visits, the banker will
invite the school children to the
bank and permit them to visualize
that which has been talked about.
"The lecture outlines have been
sent to the superintendent of pub
lie instruction of all of our states
and to many others in the teaching
profession. Scores of letters have
been received from educators APP
proving the plan and promising ac-
tive cooperation.
"Many financial magazines have
agreed to publish each month the
lecture to be delivered the follow
month. Text book publishers are
planning to enlarge chapters on
banks and banking in the treatises
on economics. School boards have
agreed to endorse the work"

with driving a car while under the
influence of the demon, Drink, and

JOSEPH Magnin, of Westfield,
was found guilty. by jury, headed
by. Ona S. Searles of furnishing
white whiskey" to a couple of his
cronies on the night of June 20
The case hinged upon whether
Magnin could prove that he had
the whiskey, in question, in his
house before January 16, 1920. He
failed to take the stand to speak
for himself, and thus did not prove
the point in doubt. Not more
than one year nor less than nine
months in the House Of Correction
was the penalty decided upon by
Judge Wright, who, however,
pittied the man, and placed him on
probation.
Willim Fitzmorris was fined s.
and costs for drunkenness, paid in
full, and left for White River
Junction, a wiser man.
Albany Archambault procured
bail released Raphael, his
brother, also got out on bail.
The bail of George Walker was
fixed at $500, which he managed
to secure from Attorney James B.
Campbell of st. Johnsbury. He
will have to take another trip from
Barnet to Newport next Tuesday
to stand jury trial for driving in
an alleged intoxicated condition.
For drunkenness: Sumner Gilfil-

VERMONT
MUST RETRENCH
IN ITS EXPENSES
Former State Senator En-
dorses Ex-G0v. Fetch
ers Recent Speech

Former State Senator Dewitt OF
, Newfane has written the Brattle-
borO Reformer a strong letter en-
dorsing what ex-Gov. Fletcher said
recently at Essex JUNCTION upon
our increased state expenses which
is well worth reading. Mr.. Dewitt
writes as follows:
AS far back as 1910 when | was
a member of the house and the
process of law-making was an en-
tirely new and untried experience
to me, l was impressed with how
cheerfully the legislature voted
away the peoples money, although
in these days the appropriations
were exceedingly modest as COM
pared with the present extravaganza
expenditures, notwithstanding the
fact that the population served to-
day is practically the same as in
1910.
Of course anyone who has had
any experience with Legislature
realizes that it is much easier to
sit at a desk and write a letter
finding fault with the work OF
these bodies than to present some
constructive, practical policy which
will work out satisfactory rem
edy. However that more economl-
cal and businesslike administration
of state affairs is the most import
ant issue now before the people of
Vermont to be denied.
One trouble, it seems to me
with our legislatures is the system
in vogue,-revenues fitted to ap-
preparations, not appropriations
based on revenue. In conducting
our own private affairs we ordi-
narily check up our income and
plan our disbursements accordingly
but our legislatures makes a bar
rel-full of appropriations and find
ing the corporation and other rev.
enues largely insufficient, meets
the deficit with a state tax of such
proportions as to be a district bur-
den to the towns.
Now there is in every business
transaction one and sometimes two
questions for our consideration.
First, "Can | afford it," and, if so,
"Will | get value reviewed." If we
conclude that we cannot
afford these things, if wise we
struggle along some way without
them however desirable it may be
and if we fell that there is a lack
of value there is in the case no
further occasion for argument.
While tits perhaps unreasonable to
expect that state government can
be run on the same economic nrin-
ciples as a private business enter
prise, nevertheless, a legislature
