The chairman of the education COM
mittee of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs on Saturday received
the following from Fargo, N. D., which
proves that the scheme in question is
attracting some attention: "In the last
Vermonter I read al article on the
Penny Stamp Saving System II you
have any literature explaining the sys.
tenn and the modus operandi, would be
pleased to receive the same. Fargo has
many children who are the sons and
daughters of Vermonters, and practically
nothingis being done here to teach them
to economize for any purpose. The
Westerners have the reputation Of being
good spenders, and justly so, but in my
opinion it is quite as important to teach
them to save as to teach them to earn"
This letter Of inquiry is signed Emerson
II. Smith, Vermonter."
