other reasons are why students
try to escape college.
Many years ago, a college edu-
cation was not considered very
important, but as the years went
by the necessity for college ed
ucation fits well into the picture.
AS soon as position Is opened in
any field 1t is necessary for a GER

references are considered first be-
cause these are the type Of people
who are needed to operate our
community and nation so that
this will be a better place to live.
They will stand out among the
rest, most capable and qualified.
Now that you have thought with
me, you understand that this Is
your chance, our chance, to Sc
cure all that will broaden our
knowledge, to secure clear under
standing, to stress to others and
ourselves that education is vital.
AS last plea, let's keep this in
our minds.

paramount purposes for a college

The word college means more
to some people than anything in
the world. Getting good college
education is not only a valuable
aid but in some walks of life it
is almost a necessity. Education
is the word that has brought man
closer to things never before
known or realized by him. Edu-
cation is the synthetic develop
ment and cultivation of the nat
ural powers, examples and many
other means. College and educa-
tion-combine the two and we
have a college education, a COM
bination unmatched by anything
yet known to man.
America offers for its young
people, a free elementary, and
high school education. This is very
important if one is to adjust him.
self to our democratic society.
Even more necessary is the all
important, college education. Get
ting a decent job and fitting into
social environment is much hard
er for an individual upon gradu-
alton from high school, than 1t
is after he has had college train
ing. This is but one of the count
less number of reasons why a
college education is necessary, If
one is to live to the fullest ex-
tend in this rapidly changing
world.
It is very difficult for per-
son to get a job of any kind that
does not cali for experience or
specialized training. Many high
schools in some towns and cities
do not offer vocational training OF
any kind. This is not in the best
interests of the city, the town, the
country nor the individual. The
inability to attend college can
cause many difficulties and handi-
caps. Handicaps not only to our

THE NEED FOR A COLLEGE
EDUCATION

The following themes were
written by two seniors at Booker
r. Washington High School: De-
lores e. Collie and Lucius v.
Reeves, president Of the Student
Council. Both are active in sew
eral organizations, both at school
and in their respective churches.
Special thanks to both Of these
young people and good luck In
all their endeavors.
In this complex society of to-
day, a college education is very
essential; it plays a very impor-
tant part in the life of each in
dividual. One main purpose of a
college education is to train young
men and women to be of critical
and discriminating minds, and to
broaden their knowledge so that
they viii be able to discuss any
topic intelligently.
Going away to college is mo-
mentous event in ones life; to be
a freshman is to stand on the
threshold of new world with a
curious and mixed feeling of Won
der, excitment and fear.
Each of us will have a profess
sion Of our desire, no one will de-
pend on his fellowwoman to de-
eide what that profession will be,
for it is up to you and you to
seek your detectives, place your
shoulders to the wheel, and strive
to maintain a worthwhile college
education.
There is a new freedom in this
new collegiate world. Freedom Is
not easy to handle and in college,
a great deal depends on the very
first adventures in freedom.
Almost all students have the
desire to attend a college, voca-
tional school or university; but
there is only one reason that any
individual should hesitate, that Is
because he Is financially unable.
But then again there might be an
other reason: that Of the teaching
and studying system. It is true
that some college courses are
concerned exclusively or mainly
with the accumulation of facts.
and some professors delight in
having little tid-bits OF informa-
ton, which they dispensed, re-
turned at exam time in all their
initial simplicity. These and many

Commercial Banking In A
Dynamic Economy"

banking practices. Commercial
banks, in need of other outlets for
their funds, moved into new types
Of credit. Term loans to business,
installment loans to consumers,
and amortized loans for the pur-
chase of homes became OF increa-
ing importance. Today, these loans
make up a large part OF the COM
mercial bank loan portfollo.
Commercial banks have also
made considerable progress, ac-
cording to the Review, in tailoring
the terms on which credit is ex-
tended to the changing nee1s OF
borrowers. The amortized hran-
with principal and interest repay
able in regular instdllment5-has
been widely adopted for loans OF
longer maturities. In the case OF
consumer installment and home
mortgage loans, the trend has been
toward smaller down payments and
longer maturities.
The article concludes that what
banking does depends largely on
how bankers think Commercial
banks and other lenders today are
operating within rapidly chang
ing framework of new industries.
new products, and new techmques.
The future of commercial banking
will be fashioned largely by how
bankers respond-how we'll bank

and adapt banking services to the

Commercial banking has under

past four decades according to an
article in the monthly Business
Review" of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia. In general,
developments have reflected the
changing economic environment in
which banks operated.
Commercial bank growth has
just about kept pace with that of
the economy. Total bank resources
are nearly ten times larger than
in 1914, according to the Review
The growth in commercial bank
resources has also been at about
the same rate as that of similar in
stitutions such as life insurance
companies, savings banks, and saw
ings and loan associations. Com
mercial banks have been more
sensitive to short-term business
fluctuations, however, than these
financial institutions.

points out that commercial. banks

preston, the general belief was
that commercial banks should
make only short-term, self-liquida-

bankers adhered to this principle,
bank credit was confined TO mar
