BANKERS TO HOLD
GREAT CONVENTION
Cleveland, Ohio, has been deslg
nated for the 1930 annual convention
of the American Bankers Association.
This organization, which numbers
about 20,000 banks with $65,000,000,000
in assets, is annually the nation's most
important, financial event. The attend
ance ranges between five and ten
thousand.
. Cleveland is especially significant
in the history of the Association's edu
cational traditions since it was in this
city, when the organization last met
there in the year 1893, that the origi
. nal resolution was presented looking
to the formation of an educational
section. This subsequently resulted in
the American Institute of Banking in
which are now enrolled 35,000 bank
men and women engaged In the study
of the technical and scientific phase?
of the business.
There is a new pasture fence to be
found on nearly every road out of
Rockingham in Richmond county, ob
serves J. L. Dove, county agent.

REVERSES OLD IDEAS
Business Institutes Use the Plan
of Getting People to Think
Rather Than Merely
to Learn.
There is one general principle at
the basis of all good teaching and it
is that a persoii learns more readily
by assimilating the experiences which
he himself -encounters tnan In any
other way, says Harold Stonier, Na
tional Educational Director of the
American Institute of Banking. This
institute is the educational section of
the American , Bankers . Association
through which 35,000 bank men and
women are receiving scientific instruc
tion in their chosen business.
"The most advanced people in
teaching today are emphasizing the
importance of activity on the part of
the student," he says. "In the school
room of former days we often heard
such phrases as, 'Btf still,' 'Learn by
heart,' 'Don't do that,' 'What does the
book say?' The newer education
asks, 'What do you think?,' 'What was
your reaction to that experiment?,'
What did you discover?,' 'What rea
sons have you for answer?'
The New School Calls for Action
"The 'expressing' school is taking
the fllace of the repressing and lis
tening school. The classroom is be
coming an open forum, a studio of self
expression, a place of mental growth.
The modern concepts of education are
personal experimentation, individual
investigation, critical discussion and
creative self-expression. The pupil
really learns only as he is able to
assimilate the new meanings of factt
and principles with his. previous ex1
perience3. Activities therefore, con
stitute the pivotal force around whicl
are grouped the new factors in educe
tion. The primary responsibility o
the teacher is to furnish a censtan
stream of activities which will affon"'
the stimulating urge to mental growtl'
"Education is a process of experi
encing, and the program of the innti
tute is so arranged as to give the
greatest opportunity to gain by sue!
experience. Through this we devoir

been described as the ability to har.
