T'HE American Institute of Bank
ing Section of the American
Bankers Association conducts 223
chapters, or local banking schools
in as many cities throughout the
country. One large city chapter
has almost 5000 students, who are
combining formal theoretical and
practical banking studies with their
daily working experience and other
places have these schools with a
thousand to two thousand students.
In addition there are fifty study
groups in small communities with
some 5000 enrollments. All told
over $4,000 bank people are taking
these courses-not only clerks, but
junior officers and even senior Off
GERS in more advanced work.
The work of the institute has
been declared to be "a dynamic

ing a broadening, deepening stream
Oh better qualified bankers than
could be developed merely by the
daily workings of banking itself"
and 1t has been suggested that
every bank worker should be com
PEELED to combine institute courses
with his work. A good many banks
now make it part of the contract of
employment that an employee shall
undertake to render himself pro
fclent and trustworthy in banking
by taking institute work and others
make successful progress in this
educational aspect of banking a
prerequisite to promotion. Plans
are being developed to make the

~ biological developments such
as automobiles. machine guns and
airplanes have given them advan-
tages which old-fashioned local and
disconnected police systems are
powerless to combat and the situa-
ton demands the broader modern
protection of State police systems.
James E. Baum, deputy manager
American Bankers Association in
charge of its crime investigating
department. declares.
"The Associations Protective
Committee has repeatedly urged
the advantages of extending state
police systems beyond the nine
eastern States which have enjoyed
this protection for many years,
Mr.. Baum says. "The time has
passed when we can safely rely
upon the disconnected and often.
times ineffective methods of local
and county police. The advent of
automobiles and better roads, to
say nothing of machine guns and
airplanes, demands the same wide
latitude in authority and field of
operation be given the police no

Statewide Police Plans Best
He quotes a Kansas judge as
saying that "our system of sheriffs
and eonstables was not designed
to meet present-day conditions"
"Every year the robbery expert
ence of banks in the nine States
having State police proves the
merits and urgent need of State
wide police protection" says Mr..
Baum. Last year, for example,
there were 3S bank holdups in
Connecticut, Maine, Maryland
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
and West Virginia where State
police forces are operated" he con
tinues. Although this total is ex.
ceptionally high due to an unpre-
cedented number of robberies in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, it is
little more than half the number
of daylight bank robberies suffered
in 1880 in Illinois alone. Further
more, this total of 3S robberies In
the nine eastern States was ex-
ceeded in California, where there
were 42 bank holdups, and in Ohio
where banks suffered 40 attacks.
Holdups Fewer Under New Plan
IF we extend the comparison of
the robbery experience in these
States enjoying Statewide police
protection to the record in eight |
central and far western States, we
find a total of 304 bank holdups in |
the latter group. The odds, there
fore, continue to be not less than
8 70 L against the banks IN these |
western States, where they are de-
MED the speedy, coordinated action
of State police and their modern |
means of transportation and com |
The same comparison |
holds true of the farmers losses
through robberies of livestock.
Moreover, these State police
forces invariably yield an operating
profit in the amount of fines col.
lected and the value of stolen prop
erty recovered. Bankers interested
in cutting down the cost of rob-
berry insurance might we'll consider
this job of extending State police
