considered their full duty done.
The tellers and darks treated the
depositors ss though they ware entire
ly beneath them. L myself, heard «de
positor, an old Irishwoman, say to a
teller who had been snappish with
her: "Then you better keep a civil
tengue in your head. It is the likes
of me that keeps the likes of y«u in

Here and there some man got so close
to the people that they began to toil
him their personal affairs and ask ter
his advice, and of late years the
banks, too, have been stressing th«
'humaa clement. They have struck a
better way of approaching people.
They have taken steps, for inataae«,
to try to get as close as they can to
th« foreign element. That is one of

troubles, their trials, is willing to ad
vise them, willing to etoer them
straight, willing to be sort of Big
Brother to them. I do not think there
is any better Americanisation work
than that being done.
That is the kind of work the pro
gressive savings bank la starting on,—
telling people that If they will come
to them with their troubles they will
be glad to give them the beat disin
terested advice, to do things for thorn
free, that otherwise they would be
charged for by somebody. Thoy are
willing to advise them when thoy got a
little more money than the savings
bank can take care of, what they can
Invest It in, or In some cases what
not to invest it In.
If the savings and commercial
banks all over the i country adopt that
particular attitude I toward our foreign
fellow-citizens, it will give them an
entirely different view of American
ism. It Is thia changed attitude that
has resulted in the tremendous growth
of deposits that have taken place In
the savings banka since tho war.
There has been a different spirit
breathed into tho relatione between
the depositors and the men on tho
other side of tho counter.
