TEJV7 YORK, March 23. One of the
trust companies on Fifth avenue hu
rted a children's a-fount department
and In the comparatively short time that It
baa bean In existence the secretary of the
company announces that Its success more
A''n Justifies Its continuance. While not
pirely philanthropic In Its scope, there Was
fundamentally an educational Idea In Its
Inception.
"While this la so far as we know the first
banking house to start auch an Idea," mid
one of the officers, of the company, "the
common sense of It must be evident to the
most careless. As a commercial country,
the greatest n the world we cannr begin
too early to Instruct the children In regard
an Inch In stature."
The fact thst the trust company occupies
rather Imposing; quarters In Fifth avenue
docs not seem to a-t as a quietus on any
class of society, for among the patrons of
the children's depertment are a number of
newsboys, messengers, elevator boys and
othera who have not yet reached the dig
nlty of a rating among the millionaire.
Elevator Boy's Christmas Tins.
It la Interesting to notice the little details
of the account's. For example. Just after
Christmas day an elevator boy from one of
the big hotels nearby brought la a wad of
bills which he said represented tips and
Christmas presents. When they were
counted up It was discovered that he bad
the very handsome beginning of 170.
Just following him waa the young son of
a rich man. lie had 15 to begin the accu
mulation of a fortune of his own.
"A good many of the children have some
special ambition which they desire to ac-
compllah," the official went on. "One little
chap told me confidentially that he In
tended some day to be as rich aa his father
and another youngster brought In a dollar
to begin to save for an automobile.
"Still another, whose family owns a great
part of the real estate In a certain district
of Manhattan, began his account with
U deposit, saying that he was saving up
to buy him a farm.

to, the value of money and the methods of
earing for It.

realdenoe. birthplace, names of father and
mother are entered on a card. We have
had one or two children come here who
were so young that they printed their
names on the' cards.
' "In addition to' the card there la a regu
uar pass book which must be shown when
a check Is presented for payment. On the
chock slip the only, thing to show that it Is
different from the regular grown up check
Is the notice at the top that the pass book
must be presented and a second notice that
It Is to be presented at the special deposit
department.
, Learned the Details Quickly.
"It Is curious to note how quickly a child
learns all the details. We have to give the
mothers a greut deal of credit for their care
Iri this direction.
"Just the other day a young boy came In
1 with his mother and made out the neces-
temptation to some of the children and we
are carrying what we might term very
active accounts for them, but that Is all
part of the Idea. Occasionally, though, you
will see one of the young depositors give
hack the check book and say frankly that
he does- not care for it but wants to keep
his money away from temptation.
Zeal Got Him Braises.
"Just after the first of the year we had
a very amusing experience. A small boy
came In with his head bandaged up and
other marks of Injuries.
"He mas quite willing to tell the story
of his life, and it turned out that In hurry
ing to get to ua to deposit his Christmas
presents before the first of the year he
had slipped and fallen on the stone steps
of his home and had hurt himself so seri
ously that he had been laid up for a week,
He told the story In a very manly, straight'
forward way, and when he got through
asked If we wouldn't take his money and
let it draw Interest Just the same. Of
course we did, and he went away tremen
deusly happy.
"Some of tho Interesting accounts are
those of young girls who are on an allow
ance. Every month they . bring In their
money, deposit it. and pay all their bills
with checks.
"It used to be the idea to keep a girl
aa far away from this phase of life aa pos
sible, and If she had an allowance It waa
usually Just enough for her bonbons and
pin money needs. With the knowledge of
banking methods the allowance of a girl Is
apt to grow in else, and at the present time
we have some young girls on the banking
books who draw checks for all their per
sonal needs, their clothes, entertainments,
schooling, private lessons; in fact, every
thlrg. Girl Rhonld Know.
"Personally. I think It a criminal thing
to keep a young girl Ignorant of the value
of money. A girl who has been brought
up to ask her father for everything she
wants, and who haa learned to consider tho
gift of money as something entirely de
pendent on his mood, starts life all wrong
and usually ends It In the same way, for
wrong teaching In regard to the care of

great deal of enthusiasm regarding the
time, when the Inter t would be due, and
when we had finished and handed out the
ptus book he tried to take It, but his ma
ternal relative wus too quirk for him and
In a moment It was in lur shopping bug.
"He looked at the book, then at her and
then at tfce bookev(ier. Finally he blurted
out:
" 'I'd like to know what good I'm going
to get out ef this as long aa she keeps the
book! It's worse than not having any
nuney at all!'
"Ills dignity as a man bad been asaatled
and when ha went out he was remonstrat

some effect, for the neit time he came he

"On the contrary, the girl who haa started

who came in and opened accounts at the
same time.

putting all her allowance that she could
possibly spare In a toy bank, to which were
added from time to time the presents given
by admiring relative. The boy, on the
contrary, blew In all his money and treated
his young companions, enjoyed an . occa
sional theater and otherwise took, a large
and manly view of life.
It was the custom of the family to draw
comparisons between them and to discourse
to the advantage of the girl on the probable
future of the two, economist and spendthrift.
Batler Hade a Difference.
One day a new butler that the family
had engaged with the Usual perfect refer
ences disappeared with more than his wagea
and kit, taking with him as mementoes of
his brief and glorious career not only the
stiver of the family . but ' the -little girl's
toy bank. Nothing was ever heard of the
absconding servant, and the young brother,-
aa young brothers will, lorded It over his
sister, telling her of the good times he had
enjoyed with his money and the. foolishness
of saving for such an end aa aha had found.
The consequence of the domestic up
heaval that ensued waa a determination on
the parents' part to foster tho spirit of the
girl and to Induce the boy by an appeal to
his pride to take the opportunity to restore
his fallen fortunes, depleted through his
desire to become a big man. "
That deelre really works both ways, for
the ambitious boy soon gets tired of spend
ing money when he see its result I have
noticed In Just the few months that we
have studied this question that while the
boy and girl start fair. Just as soon aa the
girl becomes a young woman vanity la apt
to overcome prudence.
There la a certain period In a girVe life
when her appearance meana" eveythlng and
she muat have pretty clothes.- things that
cost money. This Is usually the very time
when the boy begins to wake up to hla re
sponsibilities as a man and to put away the
childish things.
"We take sums aa low as 11. One day
last week we got a letter printed from a ,
little boy of 11 who enclosed 10 cents. We
felt very sorry to have to send It back.
but with It we sent a letter encouraging
htm and suggesting that Just aa soon ss
hlsv savings reached the dollar limit he
should communicate with ua again.
Boy oa His Om Feet.
Another Interesting story was told by
a young woman who brought a very keen-
faced little boy with her. He transacted
all the business himself while she sat and
watched. Bhe had recently started' herself
In business and on the eve of launching
out had asked her husband to explain
something about banking methods to her.
'He pooh-poohed the auggestlon and told
her that women could not be taught the
Intricacies of this profession and suggested
thst her safest way would be for him to
superintend her finances for awhile. Dut
he was busy when she needed him and
so, little by little, she acquired such a
complete understanding that aha discovered
one or two mistakes that the bank had
made.
"When she called attention at the bank
to them the officials told her that - there
was a new man or a yearly bousecleaotng
or something of that kind to account for
the errors, all of the reasons confessed
with masculine magnanimity. When she
told her husband of ber experience he said
It was Just like a woman to go around
looking for flaws la thluga and seemed to
think that the errors should have been al
lowed to pass unchallenged.
"The lltjle boy ' heard the various con
versations and shortly after announced his

- Women and the Banks.
"The opening of the business world to
women has made a great deal of difference
In this question of banking. At the present
day In the middle class family the girl Is
brought up with the Idea of learning some
thing by which she can obtain a livelihood,
and consequently her parents realize that

can grant this power to be exercised In

By implication any state could forbid the
construction of a canal, railroad or any
other road within its boundaries except by
companies organized under its own laws;
the. federal congress having delegated au
thority only 'to establish post roads.
The authority of the states over public
utilities conducted within their respective
boundaries is complete and undivided. A
state might. If . It choae. Isolate itself by
falling to construct and preventing the
construction of any roads whatever; and
the commerce clause of the federal consti
tution would not avail except to prevent
the -closing of navigation and the laying
of Imposts. No state would do anything so
foolish; but It seems worth while to revert
to first principles by way of countervailing
the extraordinary arguments of those who
would reduce the states to political nonenti
ties and thus who assert that the creature

legislative trust factories have the right oC
