BANK LECTURES
FOR STUDENTS
CONDENSED FORM OF STUDY TO
BE OFFERED BY STATE AS
ISOLATION.

Howard, Jan. 24.-A condensed
form of study, covering the business
of banking from all it's various angles
is being, or will be offered to high
school students throughout South
Dakota before the end of the school
year through the efforts of the South
Dakota Bankers association.
Original plans for this educa ational
campaign, as outlined at the state
bankers convention follows closely
the plans laid down by the American
Bankers Association. 1t called for a
series of 10 lectures given at month
ly intervals. Stress of business under
existing financial conditions made It
necessary to abandon temporarily
the plan in certain localities and TO
postpone 1t in others. Now, however,
according to w. j. Jacobson, chair
man of the state committee in charge
of the camjaign, the course will be
launched in earnest and instead of
one lecture month there will be
two.
''The idea is not to do bank adver-
tising for savings accounts" Mr.
Jacobson says, "but is to educate the
coming generation in the principles
of banking"
These lecturers are to be given
by local bankers, the idea being to
teach the functions of bank and
in short to take the mystery out OF
banking.
The work in South Dakota. he ex-
planned is in charge of general com
mittee consisting Of j. A. Danforth,
of Yankton, w. s. Given, of Britton
and himself
The state has been devided into
three parts, he continued, each com
mitteeman having charge of his own
district. A county chairman has been
appointed in-each county who in turn
organizes his particular district and
appoints one banker in each town
having high school, to see that the
work is carried on locally. At the
completion of the series of lectures
the student should have a good
hnOWlcuSC VI SCuCIdt uduhlhS-
The lectures areN given by local
bankers, it being the idea for each
bank in the town to furnish speak
er as its turn comes.
This campaign" Mr.. jacobson
reiterated, lis not matter of bank
advertising for the benefit of indivi-
dual banks, but it is founded upon
other principles. 1t is broad gated
word, given gratis by the bankers of
the state for the benefit of our school
children and consequently for the
benefit of the community at large"
Three cash prizes are to be award
ed following the close of the series
of lectures by the state bankers as
sociation for the best three essays on
'"The Value of Bank to its Com
munity." These prizes will be SIS,
$50 and $25, Mr.. Jacobson says.

A GREAT Loss
TO THE WORLD.
POPE BENEDICT EXERCISED
MINISTRY FOR THE GOOD OF
ALL PEOPLES.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24.-The
death of Pope Benedict was declared
by Senator Schanzer, head of Italy's
arms delegation, to be "a great loss
not only for the holy see and for the
Catholic church, but for the Catholic
church, but for the world" Senator
SchanZer in statement added:
Indeed, the pope exercised his
high ministry for the good of the
peoples at large and with O sincere
and profound human feeling, coupled
with rare broad mindedness."
When Cardinal Della Chiesa, was
made pope the appearance of his per-
son and his former ecclesiastical car
eer, which had been quite honorable
but not exceptional, did not cause
in the world the expectation that
great things could come from the
new pope. Instead, he soon showed
that he was a man of great heart
and keen intellect. The political ac-
tion of the late pope during the
world war was extremely difficult
and delicate. 1t was judged from diff
ferent points of view, but there is no
doubt that it was constantly animated
by a deep and sincere desire for
peace. His action, mostly benefi-
cient in favor of the prisoners of
war, of the wounded and off all those
who suffered through the conflict.
insured an eminent position among
the benefactors of humanity.
THE diplomatic action OF Benedict
XIV in the relations of the papacy
with the various Catholic and non
Catholic countries was crowned with
success and considerably augment
ed the prestige of the holy see.
"The pope tried also to establish
better relations with Italy, SO that
his death will cerainly be grieved by
the Italians. Benedict XIV leaves a
mark of considerable Importance,
not only in the history of the papacy
but also in the general history of the
world"

ACCEPT BROTHERHOODS' PRO-
POSAL TO CONSIDER WAGE
PROBLEMS AT REGIONAL
PARLEYS.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Members Of
the association of railway executives
Saturday accepted the proposal by
the four railroad brotherhoods that
their wages and working conditions

Resolution accepting the proposal
favored the appointment of regional
committees to meet with the four
brotherhoods ''in a fair effort to
compass and adjust all points at is
sue, no restrictions to be imposed
on the consideration of any and all
questions of wages and rules govern
ing working conditions"
If mutual understanding is not
rec ched the matter is to be referred
to the railroad labor board.
The resolutions provided that ter
ritories in addition to the eastern,
southeastern and western may be
established IL roads in such territor-
les so desire, or the railroads may
deal directly with their employees.
This action does not involve an
abandonment by the railways of their
pleded policy to seek a reduction in
the labor cost of railway operation,
the benefit of which is to be turned
over to the public in reduced rates,
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of
the association said, ''it simply rep
resents an attempt by direct nego-
tiation and discussion with the lead
ers of these four organizations, to ar
rive at fair and amicable settle
ment of the questions affecting these
employees"

by increasing its own budget, which
augments the burdens on the cities
which complain they are already too
heavy to bear.
