work in the banks. and as they be-
come proficient in money matters,
are promoted to positions of merit
and responsibility.
For example. an honest and reliable
boy may begin his schol astic bank
ing career as a runner. for each of
the high school banks utilizes the
facilities of two of the commercial
banks down town as repositories and
profitable avenues for investment.
Then. as the boy in question masters
the position, he is promoted to place
of greater Importance. He climbs the
ladder from the status of minor book
keeper, perhaps, to head bookkeeper.
He may be promoted to be note or
draft teller. receiving or paying
teller. The most important offices are
those of president. vice president and
cashier. and the faculty representa-
