recently pointed out by President
Francis G.. Addison, jr., Of the Dis
( trict of Columbia Bankers AssOcia-
/ ton who said: II have the highest
regard for the splendid results of
/ the educational efforts Of the local
chapter based upon my personal
observation Of adVanCements that
have come TO those who in years
past have been active students in
our chapter. / think it needless to
argue the value of education to any
emplOye of bank who desires ad-
vanccmcnt; il is solf-evident. Close
investigation Of the official list of
officers of Washington banks VIII
disclose n prcponderance OF instt-
tute men. This to me is very
significa
The Washington Chapter of the
American Institute of Banking was
organized in 1901 and now has n
membership ~of nearly 700 1t is
believed that the present activities
