Education: Bankers

Success has crowned the efforts of faculty and students at Manual Training High School (Manhattan) in founding and maintaining their own bank. Nearly all of the 6,000 pupils now have accounts with their school bank, which last week showed “a balance of $8,348.39.” The work of the bank is done by 25 students picked for their diligence, integrity. The President this year is a girl—Margaret Stein. Its purpose is to encourage thrift; but, secondarily, it is calculated to develop the desire and ambition to become a banker.
