Because a boy or girl happens to
be the child of a keeper of a light
house on some isolated island off the
coast of Maine, should not deprive
that child of Il common school edu-
cation. The State department tried
20 solve the problem by travelling
teachers. Much was accomplished
by the teachers who volunteered for
this arduous service, but the time
at each station was necessarily short.
Now the State has gone step
further, and made provision by

lures Local Year.

despite the collapse Of several ques.
tionable enterprises.
One of the most important hap
penings in the local financial field
during the period was the merger
Of the Federal National Bank with
the American National. This mer.
ger combined two leading banks of
the District. total resources Of ap-
proximately $14.O00,00O. and gave
to the Federal-American National
Bank a directorate and prestige
second to none in the city.
The wisdom and foresight Of
those engineering this transaction
Is reflected in the rapid growth
of the institution since the ANAL
gamation. Several hundred thou;
sands Of dollars has been added to
the institutions deposits. and the
need for larger quarters, brought
about by the increased business
has been so pressing that plans are
now under way for an elaborately
appointed new home which will
represent one of the finest banking
structures In the country.
Establishment of branch offices
by national institutions have, within
the past year. proved a notable
feature Of the financial situation.
This move was originated by Riggs
National. which opened an office at
Dupont Circle, followed by another
in the vicinity Of Eighteenth street
and Columbia road, known as the
Washington Heights Office" While
the establishment Of these branches
in what is generally termed out
lying district" occasioned no great
surprise. the banking fraternity was
literally dumbfounded when. the
Second National. without any cefe-
mony whatsoever, threw open Ia
branch in the very heart or the
downtown district several months
ago. Taking the action OF the Sec
ond as their-c cue, the Lincoln Ma
tional has secured permission to
establish a branch of their own at
726 Seventeenth street northwest.
while the Franklin has an applica'
ton for an additional office at I'LL
Connecticut avenue.
Pending definite legislation gov
erning the subject Of branch hank
ing, 1t Is believed that Mr.. Girls
singer, Comptroller Of the Currency
in exercising the right Of his office
(he having supreme charge OF the
District banking field will grant
each and every application of ma
tional banks to operate a branch
in the city. inasmuch as President
Harding only recently told members
of the executive committee of the
American Bankers Association that
he believed national banks should
be endowed with the same priv
ileges as State institutions in the
matter of operating branches, thus
aligning himself with MI. Girls
singer.
Never before in the history Of
the city has the wave OF extra
dividend declarations during th'
closing months Of 1922 beer
eaualed. While there remain Yet a
few institutions which have not
held their regular meetings, at l'as'
70 per cent OF those who have done
so have seen iii to distribute an
Extra dividend in addition TO main
aiming the regular annual disburst
nnnt. These extra declarations
have usually been accompanied by
he transfer Of substantial sum
TO the surplus account, which gives
positive proof OF the prosperity en-
joyed during the year.
