Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Freedmen's Savings Bank: A Paper In most of the copies of the law as published at the time the amendment limit ing the bank to Washington City is omitted, and both the Nation and the Bank cr's Magazine assert that both amendments slipped out of the enrolled bill. But in the pamphlet laws as published in the Globe, 38th Cong, 2d Sess., Appendix, p. 143, only the name of Chase is omitted. The first section of the act named fifty prominent gentlemen as incorporators and trustees,1 with power to fill vacancies by election, at least ten votes being necessary to the election of a trustee. A successor might be elected to any trustee who neg lected for six months to attend the meetings of the board. These meetings were to be held at least once a month. The trustees were to elect from their number a president and two vice presi dents; and nine trustees, one of whom must be the president or a vice president, constituted a quorum. At least seven affirma tive votes were acquired to authorize any investment, sale, or transfer of securities. The object of the corporation, as stated in the law, was to receive deposits from negroes and invest at least two-thirds of them in securities of the United States, one third being held on deposit or otherwise as an available fund for current expenses. Not more than seven per cent. Interest was to be allowed on deposits. The interest on deposits uncalled for within two years after the death of a depositor would be applied' to the education of negroes, and the principal was to be so applied if not claimed within seven vears. No one connected with the bank as trustee or official was to be allowed, directly or indirectly, to borrow the funds of the bank. None of the trustees, except the president and the vice presidents, was to receive any com pensation whatever. The officials were to receive such salaries and give such bonds as might be fixed by the trustees. The books of the bank were at all times to be open to the inspection of the agents of Congress.

Download or read book Century of American Savings Banks written by James Hilton Manning and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Century of American Savings Banks: Published Under the Auspices of the Savings, Banks Association of the State, of New York in Commemoration of the Centenary of Savings Banks in America, New York Volume As a fitting contribution to the century of achievement which this work seeks to commemorate, an attempt has been made in this volume to present a brief, authentic history of each of the one hundred and forty-one Savings Banks in the State of New York. The material has been gathered from first-hand sources, viz: the officers of the respective institutions, and no reasonable effort has been spared to make it authoritative and reliable. The arduous nature of the task may be imagined from the statement that a full year was found none too long for its accomplishment. Inevitably, some of these sketches are fragmentary and incomplete, owing to the lack of original records, and the fact that those who were in possession of the desired details have passed to their reward. All men are not equally systematic and painstaking either in jotting down facts, figures and circumstances, or in preserving them for future generations. So far as possible, existing data has been examined. The author makes grateful acknowledgment of most valuable assistance. The prompt and ungrudging cooperation given by practically every bank official in the State who was called upon, has not only greatly lightened a difficult task, but alone made it possible of accomplishment. This hearty and helpful interest has been throughout a source of real inspiration, and will ever remain one of the authors most cherished memories. The beneficent work accomplished by the one hundred forty-one institutions constituting New York's splendid system of Mutual Savings Banks is beyond praise or description.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF TIME’S TEN BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADE • One of the most acclaimed books of our time, this modern classic “has set a new standard for reporting on poverty” (Barbara Ehrenreich, The New York Times Book Review). In Evicted, Princeton sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Hailed as “wrenching and revelatory” (The Nation), “vivid and unsettling” (New York Review of Books), Evicted transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of twenty-first-century America’s most devastating problems.

Book excerpt: #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.
