FIX Governor Stone P!ttsbure
advocates the division of Pennsyl.
vanla into two states, with the
Susquehanpa river as the divid-
ing line. Mr.. Stone has written
a letter on this subject to the Pit

llains the advantage Of such a
division on both sides of the line.
Owing to the fact that the
great centre of population is in
Philadelphia and it's surroundings
in the extreme western end of
the state" he says, there neces-
sarily arises frequent unrest and
irritation IN the country districts
over the Philadelphia methods.
No man appreciated this better
than did Senator Quay, who had
been the practical political leader
IN Pennsylvania since the Civil
War. He was always aele to hold
the BALANCED ofpowerand moderate

1t will surprise most people to
learn that the school children of
Pittsburg have upwards OF $50,
900 on deposit in bank. 1t is
true, however, and the plan of
savings for children, which was
only started few years ago, is
proving so much of a success
that moro schools are adopting it
each year and now the bank is
collecting the childish savings
each week from thirty schools.
The school savings bank scheme
is In operation most successfully
in Long Island City, one of the
boroughs of the Greater New
York, where it was introduced
by j. Fl. Thiry, who copyrighted
it. w. j. Jones, of the Plttsburg
Bank for Savings, became inter-
ested ia the idea, and when he
visited New York went across to
Long Island City and iuvestigat-
ed 1T, and coming home lntroduc-
ed it here. Speaking of the plan
Yesterday Mr.. Jones said:

the public schools of Plttsburg

In popularity every month. A
young man from our bank goes
to the school at a certain time
each week and collects the money
from the children. Each child
has book made out in his or her
name, and is allowed 4 per cent.
on the depo ut, the same as other
depositors. The money can be
drawn out only when the book is
signed by the parents or guar
dians and the principal of the
school for identification. AS a |

as 1T trains the child to habits of
saving and tends to curtail the
and candy habits. AS
