School Savings s.oks.

1t does not need reference to the well
known maxim. ''Just as the twig 10
bent the tree inclines. to show the i'm
portance Of intoxicating frugal, saving
habits among children. says the Chicago
News. Practically. however. in most
schools this is u matter of precept only.
and even that is not in most cases made
prominent by proper insistence.
The difference such habits, wisely
directed. may bring about in the lives
Of children is certainly vast enough to
make the subject of inculcatinx habits
Of thrift and economy u feature Of the
public schools. This has been done in
many Of the schools of the city by the
establishment of the penny savings bank
system through the aid and co-opera-
ton of the teachers and certain banks.
The system is 80 arranged as to require
but little time on the part Of teachers
and principals. The Tilton school up to
last June had savings amounting to
S400. the system having been in opera
tion since March 90 last.
One of the immediate and gratifying
results in that school of the saving
habit. according to the principal has
been the practical abolition of gum
chewing and cigarette smoking-re-
suits in themselves worth all the extra
time and attention given by the.teach-
ers, to say nothing of the benefit finan-
cially and physically to the children
themselves
OF course there is danger in some
cases Of developing miserly instead of
wise habits. but such instances will be
rare. while the general good will be
great once children are taught that il
they take care Of the pennies the dollars
will take care of themselves. The Amer
ican people live better and waste more
than any other people on the globe.
Heretofore the economy made necessary
in older countries has been disregarded
in America. But that condition OF
things is changing. and the public
schools should be the first to take note
Of the change and prepare for it by in
culcating habits Of frugality and wise
economy.

The Second Annual Meeting Not
Great Success.

The three days racing OF the
second annual meeting OF the La
Junta Driving Park Association
unfortunately did not prove the
success that was anticipated. The
horsemen all went away satisfied,
but the attendance was not what
it should have been. The full
amount OF the purses offered, $1,000,
was paid out, but the receipts from
attendance were only about $3.50.
The track was in fine condition
and the horses entered in the vari-
Gus events were the best that ever
competed in race meet in south

the last day was one OF the prettiest

New. Money order.

A new form of domestic money
order and advice has been adopted
by the postoffice department, and
supplies will be furnished to post
masters by degrees on and after
September 4, 1899, as the old sup
plies become exhausted. The di-
mensions of the order are those OF
the ordinary bank draft. The ad-
vice is reproduction Of the money
order through the nse of carbon
ized paper. A receipt executed by
the same process will be furnished
by the issuing postmaster to the
remitter with the money order.
This receipt will doubtless tend to
populsrize the postal money order,
supplying more than all else what
was needed to make it in the esti-
nation Of the public perfectly sat-
isfactory for the transmission OF
small sums. Possession of the re-
ceipt will give the remitter feel
ing of security. The change made
in size to that Of an ordinary bank
draft. will be heartily approved by
banks and business people gener-
ally.
