BANK OF SMYRNA'S RECORD
Oldest But One in Delaware and
39th In the United States


In a survey made by the Nation
al Bank of Smyrna, it is interest
ing to note that there are only
thirty-nine banks in the United
States older that the Bank of
Smyrna, and that SOC of these
range from a few months to eleven
years older. The Oldest bank is
the First National Bank of Boston,
established in 1884 Of the 49,
637 banks in the United States,
168 are over one hundred years
old, most of which are located
along the Atlantic Seaboard, and
$40 of the total number are over
twenty-five years old. This alone
should give the average citizen a
comfortable feeling regarding the
stability of American Banking.
| The oldest bank in Delaware is the
Farmers Bank of the State of Del
aware, established in 1907. The
National Bank of Smyrna follows
closely, being first established as
a state bank in 1912. Other old
banks near Smyrna are the Eas-
ton National Bank of Maryland,
Easton, Maryland, established in
1905 and the Delaware County Ma
tional Bank, Chester, Pennsylvania
established in 1914. Smyrna and
community feel proud to have one
of these old banks in town. The
present officers are: Edward G..
Walls, President; H c. Jones, vice
president and Trust Officer; Ed
ward T. Porter, Cashier; Clark M
Knots, assistant cashier and as
sistant Trust Officer. The bank
has a capital of s10O,OOO.00 and a
surplus of S1OO,OOO.OO.

Hitler Raises Fear In Saar

On Jan. Is . plebiscite will be held
In the Saar basin to determine
whether the inhabitants Of that rich
mining area wish to become part Of
Germany, part Of France, or an auto
nomous area under protection Of the
League Of Nations.
Hitler's Nazis have made the re-
turn of the saar q cardinal point in
their foreign policy. But now It de-
velops that their very determination
to get 1t back may prove the chief
stumbling block In their path.
Dr.. Michael T. Florinsky, professor
Of economics at Columbia university,
who spent the summer In the Saar,
investigating conditions there, reports
that the inhabitants have almost no
desire for annexation to France.
They are German by birth and cul-
ture: normally, they would vote
overwhelmingly for reunion with the
fatherland.
But they are beginning to be afraid
Of Hitler. The benefits OF Nazi rule
are not as apparent to them as they
might be. So there Is q good chance
that they will vote for autonomy un-
der the league.
Hitler's noisy determination to re.
gain the saar may prove the one
factor that viii keep the saar out Of
Germany.

Some kind Of social security legis-

The Teachers Burden

Unless We revise our way Of train
ing children In the public schools. we
may presently find that We have
reared . generation Of "jaded old
youngsters utterly devoid Of q sense
Of value.
This Is the warning DR.. William
Ernest Hooking, professor Of phil
osophy at Harvard, issued to school
teachers convention in Ohio recently.
Teaching children how to solve
problems in arithmetic, how to spell,
how to reel off the names Of the
presidents, and how to bound the
state Of Kentucky, Dr.. Hooking sug-
gests, Is pretty nearly useless un-
less, at the same time, we give them
the mental and emotional training
which win enable them to get some
thing out Of their lives besides the
empty repetition OF . monotonous
routine.
Now the significant thing about
this y the fact that the speaker
seems to take It for granted that
tho youngsters are to get this kind
Of development In the school rather
than IN the home.
Ono Of tho most profound changes
any human society could undergo has
been taking place In this country In
recent years. and most Of u have
hardly noticed It.
We have not only given to our
schools the Job Of teaching our chill
dren how to read and write: we
have. to . very great extent, also
given them the task Of developing
our childrens character, establishing
their ideals, and suggesting to them
the approaches to adulthood.
A homely illustration viii show the
trend. Hardly anyone spanks his
child any more: and while that may
be an excellent thing. the old-time
firmness Of parental discipline has
pretty largely vanished at the same
time.
It has been transferred to the
school room. The child whose par
er1ts cant do q thing with him
and his name is legion. nowadays
toes the mark In school very obedi-
emily.
He has to. He knows teachers win
make It hot for him II he doesn't.
Now this Is merely symbol Of the
way IN which We have transferred
parental responsibilities to the school
ma'am. The only reason why We are
not raising the most spoiled brats
tho world ever knew II that the
schools are doing our work for US.
It Is for that reason that Dr.. Hook
1ng's warning Is timely. It calls on
the educators to recognise that they
have been given . responsibility
which. from time immemorial, has
rested On tho parent,
