THE DEVELOPMENT or THRIFT. BY
Mary Wilcox Brown. General Secretary
of the Henry Watson Children's Aid So
ciety OF Baltimore. New York ard
London The Macmillan Company. 1926.
Cloth. Pages, 222. Price, ST.
This is a sincere effort TO do some prac-
teal good to wage-earners-a noble pur-
pose. All the friends OF the poor and
of the institutions established for their
benefit do not inculcate thrift by them
But this writer does, and defining thrift,
she carries her point. She says, truly:
General thrift is not mere saving, but
rather postponed consumption, laying
aside not for the purpose of boarding, but
in order TO make a future purchase
Vast numbers of wage-earners cannot
do this, unfortunately. The author gives
an interesting and instructive account OF
the various agencies and institutions that
have been founded for the aid and relief
OF the poor. The combination OF Wilcox
and Brown in her name seems to indi-
cate that she is rginian-probably from
the Cockade City.
