spent itself. and no more failures need be
feared from it. Probably long time will be
required to restore universal confidence in
savings banks, There is also reason TO fear
that the competition OF the government in
providing popular loan for small investors
will prove disastrous to existing savings banks.
Savings-banks are not intended for the rlcb,
but for the mass OF small depositors, for whose
small savings snely there Is or has been no
other way OF safe investment They ere use
ful and convenient also because they VIII
accept and refund money IN small amounts at
any time Children should be encouraged to
make deposits IN savings banks in their own
names, and to have the custody OF the book.
In this way they get used to having money OF
their own, and the power 20 spend II without
exercising it. Many years ago servant III
my family was advised to deposit a25 in
savings bank Since then, being at distance,
she has added nothing TO it. but it has grown
OF itself to nearly S20O. And vet. since the
rate OF interest in these institutions has fallen
to 60 low point. those who have considerable
means and are favored with good opportunities
for more profitable investments which are safe
and satisfactory, will naturally improve them
When depositor seems to be approaching the
close OF life, and has no estate requiring settle
ment by the probate court, it is well TO fill out
the order printed in the back Of the book for
some one whom she may designate to draw the
money. Otherwise probate settlement may
be necessary to draw the money, and the ex-
pence may devour it ali.
