Want to Become q Banker?
By Arthur W. McCoin

Vice ehsirman of the Board of Directors
OF the Chase National Bank Of
New York City.
The best possible training for a
career in banking, I am convinced,
Is a liberal arts course, supple
mented by a study Of economics,
government, banking history, law,
accounting and finance.
More and more the college de-
gree is considered a valuable
asset for a beginner. The supple
mentary work may be secured in
night courses, courses offered by
the American Institute of Banking,
or study programs offered by
banks themselves.
In the banking business the old
fashioned apprenticeship method
of training personnel has been
largely eliminated. Today in some
Of the larger banks key employees
are stimulated to faster progress
and greater efficiency through
carefully planned training courses.

Olga is an uncommon name
outside of Russia, its native
habitat, and it is rarer here
than it is in the North and
Middle West where there are
more people of foreign birth
and parentage. In my life |
j have known only two bearers
of the name of Olga, one in the
past and one in the present. I
have had great admiration for
both of them.
The first one / became ac-
quainted with when / made my
first visit to New York in 1900,
two years before I went there to
hive. It was an acquaintance of
which only l was aware. Olga
didn't know anything about it,
for | was one of thousands of
spectators on the other side of
the footlights from her.
One of the plays on Broadway
then was 'Sappho," a drama
tization of Alphonse Daudet's
book OF the same name. AS far
as propriety is concerned it
wouldn't cause a ripple today,
but fifty years ago it caused a
great stir. Because Of its sexi-
ness respectable persons de-
nounced it in letters to the edi-
tor, and it was preached against
in the pulpit.
An English actress, olga
Nethersole, had the title role in
it. She was slender. slinky, and
seductive. "Sappho" drew large
audiences for months, and Olga
Nethersole was the talk Of the
town. Young men, and for that
matter old men too, were bowled
over by her charms.
That was when ] was a sopho-

ago-the structure that many
of the Episcopaliansther have
come to speak Of affectionately
as "the little old church, to dis
tinguish it from the large and
imposing structure that has
been added to it.
It has not been used lately be-
cause of the discovery that the
roof was in a dangerous condi-
ton.
At it's meeting Monday eve
ming the vestry received from
William H. Gardner, Jr.. struc-
tural engineer, q report saying
that termites and rot had 80
damaged the roof that it would
be cheaper In the long run to
put on a new roof than to try
to repair the old one. A tenta-
tive estimate Of the cost Is
$4,000. Mr.. Gardner's report has

Professors Not So Poverty Stricken, Says

What's So Bad About a Pro-

article in this weeks Saturday
Evening Post by Arthur M.
Whitehill, Jr., who teaches per-
sonnel administration and cor.
pCration finance in the Univer-
sity here. 2
The article, illustrated with .
photograph of Mr.. Whitehill
smoking his pipe, is a lively re-
buttal to the general complaint
that teachers are ill-rewarded.
While admitting that teachers
salaries cannot be considered en-
tirely adequate at this time," the
author quotes figures showing
that "some real progress has
been made toward higher pay
since 194O."
Mr.. Whitehill also says that
teachers have, more vacations
than most people, that they
often enjoy "a good bit Of hnan-
cial gravy" by taking on extra
jobs beyond the ivy-clad walls"
and that their assurance of job
tenure" Ii greater than that Of
most other people, specially
lawyers. When a teacher be-
comes full professor, the
writer says, he has IAN appoint
