The Rev. John Adams, New Mil
ford, ILL.,, says; 'Postal savings
banks, in my opinion, would be a
particularly good thing for the
country places. Take my own
town, for instance-New Milford.
We are six miles from Rockford,
where there are savings banks,
but our working people cannot
afford to take the time to 90 there,
and consequently have no other
place than an old stocking or the
chimney to put their little savings.
When these people are saving any
money it is particularly necessary
that they should have a perfectly
safe depository and this would be
afforded by the government postal
savings banks"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-11-03

AT recent meeting of the In
diana Bankers association at Indi-
annapolis Mortimimer lowering of
Lafayette, recognized as one of the
best financiers in Indiana, made an
address on postal savings banks
in which he said: ''The government
is in position to manage the thing
through present postoffice system,
and scarcely increase the expen-
ses of that department, while it
will enhance the accumulated
wealth of the people throughout
the whole United States. it w; s
thou ght that building and loan as
sociations would care for the saw
ings of the masses, but people have
become suspicious Of them. 1t is
we'll known that lawyers in Indiana
are making as much as $4,000 a
year out of these institutions, and
officers are making tuuch money
outof them. We all know that
trust companies are not organized
as eleemosynay institutions. We
want system of savings banks
that are for the poor people.
What greater pride could man
have than to think himself a de-
positor of the United States?"

AN exchange makes the follow
ing very pertinent observations:
Dear reader, do you know that
one-third of the fools in this count
ry think they can beat the lawyer
in expounding the law, one-half
think they can beat the doctor in
healing the sick, two thirds of them
think they can beat the minister in
preaching the gospel, and all of
them think they can beat the editor
in running newspaper.

The number of minors who be-
come depositors in the postal banks
of countries having the system in
operation is very large. 1t is
principally for the purpose of en-
couraging children to save that
provision is made for stamp de-
posts. In Great Britain for inst
ance the smallest deposit which will
be received and entered in q pass
book is l shilling, or "a cents.
However, smaller amounts may
be saved by stamps. A child with
a penny may buy stamp and af
fix it to card. When this card
contains twelve stamps it can be
deposited as shilling, and the de-
positor is entitled to receive 8
passbook. Thisarrangement makes
the institution very popular among
the children, and is so convenient
as to stimulate them to make use
of it's advantages. In addition,
the schools are frequently made
use of as agencies of the postal
bank for the collection of savings.
The teachers receive the deposits
of the children and turn them over
to the postal bank authorities.
Belgium is one of the countries in
which the activities of the savings
bank are extended to the school
room. Out of 7,447 primary
schools, inclusive of infant schools
and the schools of primary in
atruction attached to education
institutions of other classes, there
were 1893 which took part in the
savings-bank business. The num-
Der of children in those schools
possessing deposit books was l54,
1872, of whom $1,000 were boys
and 81, 883 were girls. Including
the schools above primary grade
they were, according to recent
report, '5,o56 schools of all
kinds in which 200, 1857 pupils had
saved 1874, 4O2 francs. Most Of
the schools of Belgium, therefore,
it may be said, teach thrift and
economy with their instruction in
the elements of education. The
spectacle of the postoffice of a
country being used as means for
teaching the young the value of
saving and intoxicating tn them
habits that will be of great use to
them in later life should make
every thoughtful person on advo-
cate Of postal savings bank.-Chic-
