SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
How Children Are Being Trained in
Principles of Economy.


Principles of Economy.
There are now nearly 100000 pupils
who are regularly depositfng their saw
ingS in the school savings banks
throughout the country and who are
thereby being taught useful lessons in
economy. The founder of the system is
]. H. Thirty of Long Island, who ere
ated the first school savings bank %
system greatly develop. The plan is a
simple one.
Teachers in the public schools give
only 10 minutes of the Monday morn
ing session to collecting the savings of
the children. The deposits, recorded
in the ordinary roll books, are turned
oyer to the principal, who places them
with bank OF trust company.
The child's weekly deposit may be
one cent; it may be ten-whatever sum
has been saved during the week. When
the pupils savings amount to 81, a
bank book is given. Except in cases
of sickness or of removal from the city,
deposits cannot be withdrawn until the
amount reaches So, and then only on
the second Monday of every month. De-
posts of So or more bear regular inter-
est.
Since the system was introduced the
records show that the pupils Of 1,O9S
schools in % States saved the grand
total of $5,4S5,514. Of this amount 3d.
$4,000 was withdrawn, leaving bal
ance at present of nearly $1,0O0,000 to
the credit of 1892 little depositors.

NEW YORK.

Distributive trade shows growth from
week to week as the spring season APP
proaches, and the tone of trade as a whole
is more optimistic but, despite the large
number of buyers in evidence at leading
markets, the character of the business
done does not vary from that hitherto de-
scribed. Conservative buying, largely of
staples, is the rule, and the uncertainty
as to prices in many lines acts as a
check to fullest activity. This is espe-
cially manifest in some lines as, fer in
stance, cotton goods where prices have
been of late sharply reduced, without,
however, evoking the interest expected.
In few, if any, cases are comparisons
with year ago satisfactory, and num-
Der of measures of monthly trade and in
dustrial movement point to shrinkage of
% per cent or more.

the public funeral, services were held at
10 O'Clock in eight churches of various

service was held at the temporary morgue.
