From Miss Rose Yavitz the following significant
statement:
The word citizenship has many meanings to some
people, but to others it has true meaning which
is loyalty to your country. Be he foreign native
born he always a citizen that loves and Obeys his
country. For citizen is not who takes out
citizen papers, but who down deep in his heart loves
honors and obeys country matter at what COST
We as children should begin being good citizens
while we are young by obeying parents and tea
chers and then the future will take of ITSELF and
we will grow into worthy, upright citizens
We are not sure but that Miss Rose has hit the nail
squarey it appears to that children who are not
taught obedience hardly be expected
to think of it necessary part of life equipment or APP
ply it to adult considerations of law and order.
It is very much fact that child who obeys its par
ens and teachers good citizen in the making yet such
are the fashions of times that in homes and
in some schools insisence obedience is viewed
as an interference with the rights of children
A large number of the children in the Mccall School
have this advantage the Amercanborn child

These boys and girls of foreign birth parentage are not
so unfortunate as to be thus deluded.
They have strange notion that after being educated
at the expense the state they something to society

STATE BANKS SHOW
INCREASE In DEPOSITS
Continued from first page)

NcOnIlQuSu ITOm uISL pdSSy
progressive banking laws now pre-
vailing in the state, which are gener-
ally recognized throughout the coun-
try as banking legislation Of the high
est order. The enactment of this leg
islatiOn is credited to the active cam
paign of the Delaware Bankers AS
sociation.
The first legislation obtained thru
the activities of the association was
the act establishing the State Bank
ing Department in charge of a COM
missioner which took the administra-
ton of banking affairs out of the
hands of the State Insurance Com
missioner. This act was passed in 1913
and has proven highly satisfactory.
During the legislative session Of
1921, the new banking code was pass
ed, bringing into one measure practi-
cally all legislation dealing with the
banks and trust companies. This mea-
sure is considered model enactment
of it's kind, and some of it's features
have been since copied outside the
State.
During the past year through the
establishment of a closer relationship
between the banks and their patrons,
the sale of worthless stocks and Sc
curities to the bank customers has
been considerably reduced. The Della
ware Bankers Association has taken
leading part in this movement and
placards containing a warning against
such purchases have been posted in
all the banks with advice to Consult
lii oh
purchases.
1t is likely that the State Bankers
Association will present measure to
the incoming legislature designed to
wipe out the business in wild securi-
ties" and providing drastic penalties
for those convicted of such practices.
Inspection Completed
State Banking Commissioner George
L. Medill completed his inspection of
the State banks and trust companies
last week, as provided for under the
act creating his office.
In commenting on the result of his
Mr.. Medill made the follow
ing statement:
Every State bank and trust COM
pany has now been examined and,
generally speaking, I have found con-
ditions are good. AS a result of my
calls on the banks 1 have noted that
securities have increased
in market value as COM
pared with a year ago.
"The increase in deposits has been
so large that the banks have to Dor
row only little money in New York
and Philadelphia. In every respect
conditions are sound and there is in
evidence a tendency pointing to con-
tinued improvement of conditions"
