Principal George R. Pinkham, Of the
South Street School, is planning the open
ing OF a school savings bank, to en-
courage the children In the saving Of
the many pennies which they spend for
candy, chewing gum and useless little GIN
cracks of all descriptions. He declares
that once their interest is aroused 1t will
be an easy matter, and that 1t will not
only teach them the value Of money but
will better them physically, as many of the
boys and girls consume entirely too much
sweet stuff.
The pupils will bring their pennies to
their teachers, who will record the amounts
in a blank book, opposite their names.
When a dollar is reached the sum will be
given to Mr.. Pinkham, who will deposit
1t In one OF the local banks, having a
bank book made out in the name of the
child. The money may be drawn by the
child's parents at any time it may be
needed.
Mr.. Pinkham hopes to have the plan
in fine running order by January l. AL
ready the children are eager to begin.

Organized games rave been introduced
in the South Street School, during the re-
cess period, with splendid effect. Now,
each class goes out TO play under the d.
rection of Il teacher. The older pupils
indulge Ia athletics, and the small folk
play handball, etc. And they all seem to
like the new method much better than the
old harum-scarum way of rushing out
and amusing themselves. 1t is probable
that organized games will be introduced
in all of the schools.
