Division 7. — Money and Banking. 



Dr. Davis R. Dewey, in charge, reports that since his report of a year ago 



he has been much encouraged by the progress of his investigations on the 



subject of banking and money, a very difficult subject, especially so far as 



securing the right kind of men to make original research is concerned. He 



has now been able to secure several new coworkers, who are prosecuting 



their researches with zeal, and a number of manuscripts have been finished or 



are promised at a very early date. This is a very encouraging future, in 



view of the embarrassments already alluded to in securing men. Dr. Dewey 



is obliged for many things to wait for the completion of the index which is 



being so admirably compiled by Miss Hasse. He has the assistance of 28 



men, as follows :
