Excerpt from Practical Problems in Banking and Currency: Being a Number of Selected Addresses Delivered in Recent Years by Prominent Bankers, Financiers and Economists That the bankers' associations of this country have accomplished much that is praiseworthy from an educational view-point remains unquestioned. Their annual conventions have been devoted to the discussion of practical problems as they affect actual conditions. If the currency question, the trust company controversy, or any other vital topic was confronting the general banking situation, it was sure to receive consideration at some bankers' convention by an able authority, trained through years of experience. As a result we find association proceedings containing many excellent papers treating subjects that standard works on banking have either omitted or inadequately handled.
