A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Beneficial Influence of Good Nature
in the Elders Upon the
Young.

One person doing right under ad-
verse circumstances will accomplish
more than many treatises about what
is right. The census has never been
taken of lovely old folks. Most of us,
if we have not such a one in our own
house now, have in our memory such
saint, says the Detroit Free Press.
We went to those old people with
all our troubles. They were per-
petual evangelists; by their soothing
words, by their hopefulness of spirit
an ineXpressible help. I cannot see
how Heaven could make them any
lovelier than they are, or were. But
there are exceptions. There is a
daughter in that family whose father
is impatient and the mother queru-
lous. The passage of many years does
not always improve the disposition,
and there are a great many disagree
able old folks. Some of them forget
that they were ever young them
selves, and they become untidy in
their habits, and wonder how, when
their asthma or rheumatism is so bad,
other people can laugh or sing and go
on as they do. The daughter in that
family bears all their peevishness and
unreasonable behavior without an
swering back or making any kind of
complaint. If you ask her what her
five talents are, or her one talent is,
she would answer that she has no
talent at all. Greatly mistaken is
she. Her one talent is to for
bear and treat the childishness
of the old, as well as the
childisEness of the young. She
is no musician, and besides there
may not be piano in the house; she
cannot skillfully swing a croquet
mallet or golf stick; indeed, she
seems shut up to see what she can
do with a ladle and broom and
brush and other household imple-
mentS.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
Occupy an Important Place in the
Educational System of the
Country.

The school savings bank has grad
ually come to occupy an important
place in this country's educational
system. While it is nowhere obliga-
tory that teachers or school officers
shall assume these new responsible
ties, they in many cases have volun-
teered to adopt the plan when its
benefits have come to De understood.
In many parts of the United States,
and especially in the west, the recent
development of the school banks has
been rapid. California has estab-
lished the system in a number of
towns and cities within a few
months, and there are indications
that the practical teaching of les
sons of thrift in the public schools
may soon become general, says the
Philadelphia Times.
1t is stated by the statistician of
this movement that there are now
3,oS8 school banks in the United
States, which have 63, 3,567 depositors.
The amount deposited in these
schools since the work was estab-
hshed is placed at $4,000 and the
amount remaining on deposit on Jan
uary last was $355,000. 1t is doubt
full, however, if tn, Sc figures are COM
plete. In Montgomery county, in this
state, where the work seems to have
advanced farther than in any other
section of the country, the scholars
have deposited in about ten years no
less than S175,O00, and on January /
last 4,OO9 depositors still had in bank
$4O,61s. In Atlantic City the deposits
amounted to $6,376 during the last
school year.
