COUNTY WILL EXCEED ALL RE.
CORDS OF PAST.
SESSIONS WILL SOON Be OVER
Strictly Elementary Schools Will End
the Terms Of 1e2o-t921 Within An
other Month-Sevcnth Pay Roll Of
Teachers Today.

tFrom Saturdays Daily Herald.)
Prof. John p. Graham is today pay
ing the white teachers Of the county
their seventh pay roll. Seven months
of the term 1920-l92l ended on yester-
day and in another month the schools
in the strictly rural sections will close.
These are the purely elementary
schools of eight grades and which
commenced the terms early last Au-
gust. There are of course the larger
schools where nine or ten grades are
taught and where an additional month
is added through private contributions
that win not end the term for perhaps
a couple Of months
Thesterm that is rapidly drawing to
a close has been probably the most
successful in many respects that has
ever been taught in this county, For
one thing fhe weather has been more
than favorable and the attendance re.
ords will probably set new high
mark In several of the schools the
monthly reports made by the princi-
pals show that the average attendance
to actual enrolment has run over
ninety per cent. This has been the
case right in the dead of winter, one of
the largest schools of the county show
ing that ninety.four out of hundred
pupils are preset every day in the
week.
The enrolment in proportion to
scholastic population is equal to the
best record the county ever made and
is probably in excess of any former
year. So that with decided increase
in the average attendance more pupils
have received the benefits of the pub
lie schools than ever before.
There have been no epidemics and
less sivkness than has been reported
in any year since Superintendent Ora
ham has been directing the destinies
of the schools of Maury county. The
teachers have lost little time and Wis
tors to the schools in all sections
have remarked generally on the fine
spirit of the pupils.

Deny High Reserve
Ratio Is Basis for
Low Discount Rate
Chase Bank Officials Assert
Abnormal Stock of Gold.
Not Small Liabilities, Re-
sponsible for Conditions

There is no justification for reducing
rediscount rates because the Federal
Reserve ratio Is high, says a state
ment made public to-day by the Chase
National Bank. The contention which
is advanced by A. Barton Hepburn and
Benjamin M. Anderson jr., of the
bank, is that the Reserve ratio
is abnormal and misleading. 1t is not
high, they contend, because the liabil-
tiles of the Federal Reserve banks are
low, but rather is high despite abnor-
mally high liabilities Of the banks, be-
cause the reserves are abnormally
high.
"This is due partly to the unprece-
u* nd nant g TO- the
which the Federal Reserve banks have
pursued since our entrance into the
war of drawing into their vaults the
great bulk of the gold and gold certifi-
Gates held by banks and individuals
throughout the country.
There is relatively little gold left
In circulation. Under normal condi-
tons gold standard country will have
substantial amount of gold in hand
to-hand circulation. If, for example,
we returned the legal tenders now in
the Federal Reserve banks, together
with billion dollars of their gold Tor
gold certiticates), to general circula-
ton, with corresponding cancella-
ton of Federal Reserve bank notes,
the Reserve ratio would stand, not at
1913 per cent, at which it stood on
June 8, 1921, but rather at 43.5 per
cent.
"'rhc great excess of gold in our
Federal> Reserve banks constitutes
real problem. The artifcially high
Reserve ratio, which may easily go to
extreme heights with further liquida-
ton, constitutes shining target for
cheap money advocates, and consti-
ment Of Federal Reserve funds. We
must recognize that we hold much Of
our gold in trust against the time
when. Europe will need it to restore
sound currency there. We must
not let it depreciate upon our hands or
tie it up in illiquid credits.
The proposal that the Federal Re-
serve banks should stabilize com
modify prices by varying their reds
count rates, lowering the rates when
prices fall to pull them UP again, and
AoiSinS we IAteS When prices rise to
pull them down again, is thoroughly
vicious and unsound. 1t is, in the
trst place, economically impossible.
Rediscount rates are only minor
factor affecting prices. In the second
place, any effort to apply this policy
would at once make the Federal Re-
serve banks football of politics.
"Our two most significant conclu-
sions are (a) that the rediscount rate
should be kept above the market rate,
and CD that the high Federal Reserve
ratio, due to an artificial and abnormal
excess of gold, constitutes no justifi-
cation at all for reducing rediscount
rates.
Easier money will come naturally
as liquidation proceeds"

be noted in the June imports was not
sufficient to offset the decrease in ex-
ports and reexports, the months total

AS the reserve ratios Of the central
banks in this country continue to rise
the banking community is looking for
ward to the requirements of the crop
moving period without misgivings. The
most conservative theory of reserve
banking allows for seasonal expansion
of credit during the period of move
ment of products of the soil from the
grower to the consumer
Last year, when credit expansion was
near the peak, the additional burdens
OF crop moving caused strain which
was reflected throughout the system.
New York, far away from the capitals
OF agriculture, always feels repercus-
sions of the shifting Of funds, but this
year the extent to which this financial
center will be called upon to help
flnance the crop movement probably
will be relatively light. Member banks
in the agricultural districts have re-
duced their borrowings at the Reserve
banks, and will be able to get accommo-
dations from them before it is neces-
sary to call upon their New York cor
| respondents.
Moreover, the great deiation in
prices Of the commodities Of the soil
will decrease the amount of funds
needed to finance their marketing. Fur
thermore, there is likely to be less in
clination than before on the part of
farmers to hold their products off the

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-18

When the first German PREPARATIONS
payments were made last month, in ac-
cordance with the new program, the
equilibrium of the foreign exchange
market was ruthlessly disturbed. Su-
perficially, the upset seemed ascribable
to the fact that the Preparations Com
mission had required that payment be
Made in American dollars at New York.
clamor Of protest led the commission
to modify its methods to the extent Of
permitting Teutons to make payment in
Allied currencies based on the market
rate on the day the transfer took place.
Theoretically, the German govern
ment will be free on August 81, when
the next payment falls due, to meet its
obligations in European currencies as
we'll as dollars. Nevertheless there are
indications that the instalment Of 1885,
100000 will be paid largely In dollars.
The Germans have been building I'D
their balances in New York evidently
with this intention. Various sets of
negotiations for credits for PREPARATIONS
and for grain purchases are now going
on. BY the close Of the week $40 ,000, 900
in credits had been arranged and other
projects were reported near fruition.
AS far as the reflex on the foreign
exchange market of German repara-
tions dues is concerned, the transfers
are likely to be reflected in rate fuctua-
tions, no matter in what currencies
payment is made.
The Germans are inclined to favor
dollars, because they are acceptable at
par on the day Of payment, since the
United States is on a gold basis.
Pounds, francs and lire are accepted at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the
date of payment, and this may be lower
than the rate at which the Germans &C
CURED the Allied currency.
The invisible trade balance original
ing from this war bill is likely to be
reflected in the exchange market
through the long years Of reparations
payments, though less perceptibly later
as the market becomes better stabil-
lied.
