Dear Sir: I am very much interested in the Educational Department of your excellent Magazine, and glean much valuable information from it.
The inductive or interrogatory style, so often and advantageously used by yourself in your editorials, is the best method of teaching on any subject. Questions are easily asked—any one can do this.
Answering is sometimes more difficult.
(1.) If National Banks should be abolished, and the Government issue the money used by the people, how would it be put in circulation?
(2.) If the National Banks were abolished, would it not be a matter of convenience in business transactions, be necessary, to have private banks?
(3.) Can you furnish back-numbers, from the beginning of your paper?
These questions are frequently asked by the common people, and some of us are puzzled to know how to answer satisfactorily.
