Savage, General Manager TfiOLO COAEHIS IU METROPOLITAN SYSTEM THEOUTDOORS -ABOUT A BEAR "Bears are funny animals--sleep most of the winter without ever coming out for a breath of fresh air, food or exercise," remarked Ernie Sorenson. pioneer homesteader of the northwoods, as he eyed up the picture of an old brum making a dash for a rabbit that had suddenly darted from its hiding place underneath the branches of a tiny evergreen tree, which appeared on the cover of Outdoor America, Izaak Walton League magazine. "Nope--them critters don't worry much about grocery bills when midwinter comes. They feed pretty heavy on erbs, roots, vegetable matter and ( occasionally a meal of fresh meat before looking around for an apartment, which is usually located in a big hollow log, under the roots of a tree or stulnp, down in the hollow heart of a standing ram pike or Cave. They just curl up naturally and comfortably when cold weather comes in early winter, and we don't see nothing of 'em until they break loose along about March--it all depending upon weather conditions. "I've been.told that they suck their paws when they do get a bit hungry and dream about food, but the thick coating of fat that covers their body when they start this hibernating period keeps them warm and supplies enough nutrition to keep 'em alive and healthy. Not moving around and just sleeping all the time naturally tends to eliminate the necessity of eating, I suppose. "The cubs are born about February and they are no bigger than a squirrel or rat. Think of that. Of course, the little bruins grow rapidly and when they amble around in the spring they are an armful of fur about the size of a football, but a whole lot livelier. "I really think the black bear is the most humerous, intelligent and friendliest animal in the northwoods. Of course, the grizzly, brown bear, polar and some of the other species of the northwest and the arctic region are noted for their viciousness, but even so, if man minds his own business and don't molest the residents of the wilderness, 1 don't believe they will bother him."

LONSDALE , President American Banker# * Association CO phenomenal has been the increase of trust business that statisticians are unable to keep a true record of Its advancement. There are now s o m e t h i n g l i k e 3,500 active trust departments 1 n banks in America, while in 1900 only 165 active trust departments had been established. In becoming the custodians or the guardians of the property of others, bankers as- John G. Lonedate same what has been fittingly described as one of the "most exalted human relationships ever created by law." They become at once a big brother, a big sister, an advisor, or a confessor, sworn so to conduct themselves that clients will be won to them by their ability and Integrity. Thousands of little children have received an education and have been started off right in life through the trust department's safe keeping and guidance of the family estate, numberless widows have been protected from merciless stock swindlers, many thousands of business men have been relieved of troublesome details in the conduct of their business through the creation of a living trust and still others have safeguarded their business enterprises through lite insurance trusts. The favorable reaction of the public toward trust department service is not accidental. It may be traced jointly to the growing intelligence of the American people in financial affairs and to advertising te the world at large the merits of trust services. Advertising used in a sensible, judicious way is necessary, a power that has accomplished much good for humanity. Among the detailed services, rendered by a trust department the one that seems to be winning favor the fastest is the life insurance trust. Life Insurance is the quickest known way of creating an estate. In reality it affords the possessor the opportunity of setting up a positive monetary safeguard for his family and then paying for it on the Installment plan. A married man is not fair to his family if he fails to carry life insurance. I would say to the young man, "Buy Insurance before you buy the ring," and to the young woman I would say, "Marry no man so thoughtless as to scofl^ at life insurance." rxferaowoon MODERN EDUCATION REVERSES OLD IDEAS Business Institutes Use the Plan of Getting People to Think Rather Than Merely to Learn.

W--trta w«wnin BalwM There to one general principle at the basis of all good teaching and It is that a person learns more readily by assimilating the experiences which he himself encounters than in any other way, says Harold Stonier, National 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 instruction in their chosen business. "The most advanced people in teaching today are emphasising the importance of activity,on the part of the student," he says. "In the schoolroom of former days we often heard such phrases as, 'Be still,' 'Learn by heart,' 'Don't do that,' 'What does the book say?' The newer education asks, 'What do you thinkV 'What was , your reaction to that experiment?,' •What did you discover?,' 'What rea- •Ops have you for answer?' ' The New School Calls for Action "The 'expressing' school is taking the place of the repressing and listening school. The classroom is * becoming an open forum, a studio of selfexpression, 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 l^e ii able to assimilate the new meanings of facts and principles with his previous experiences. Activities therefore constitute the pivotal force around which are grouped the new factors in education. The primary responsibility of the teacher is to furnish a constant Hopper.

Thinking has been described as the ability to handle experience and to bring it to bear on a problem. Effective thinking arises when we are presented with the choice of conduct. Our previous experiences become helpful as we marshal them and bring them tb bear upon the matter of our choice."
