ing the progress and destiny of

shaping the progress and destiny of
the nation.
The paying of fair rate of inter-
est on savings creates the desire to
save. In the child the habit of saw
ing lays the foundation of character
induces the qualities of system, self
restraint and independence. In those
of maturer years the habit of saving
a part of all earnings induces econo-
my, creates the desire of ownership
of home and property, makes for tenn
perance and good citizenship.
The creation of school savings
banks is one of the greatest educa
tiOnal movements of modern times
and it's effect upon the material and
moral well-being of the men and wo-
men of coming generations will be
one of the greatest factors in their
elevation to Il higher plane of living.
Between 1874 and 1886 there were
established in France $4,000 school
savings banks which had at the latter
date $2,510,000 on deposit In Great
Gritain between 1890 and 1894 6,170
school saving banks were established
and it is estimated that three-fourths
of the money being saved in Germany
can be attributed to this educational
scheme. The number of child de-
positors in the schools of Italy in
creased from 1888 in 1876 to 65,-
In Hungary the growth has been con-
slant, starting with 2,621 pupils as
depositors in the school savings banks
in 1876 and increasing to 37,737 de-
positors in 1890. In 1876 Hon. j.
Pomeroy Townsend, former president
of the Bowery Savings Bank of New
York, with others, called attention to
the system in vogue in Europe and
advised its adoption in this country.
To Mr.. j. II. Thirty of Long Island
City, N. Y, is largely due the present
development of the school savings
bank idea in the United States. Ac-
cording to a statement publised by
him January 1st, 1907, the system
was then in operation in 1,09S
schools of 113 cities of % states of
America and 1892 scholars had
saved since its introduction $5,4S5,-
514.4S.
Wherever tried the system has met
with pronounced success and as
shown by the above figures has spread
rapidly. The plan was adopted in
Spokane in 1901 in 81 schools, since
then there has been deposited $685.,
360.94 in 1000 accounts. Just now
the attention of Seattle public schools
is being directed towards its intro
duction there and it will be adopted
the coming school term.

school bank system in the public
schools.
To Frank G.. Jones, president of the
Union Bank & Trust Co., and Che
halls County Bank for Savings in Alb
erdeen, belongs the credit of this
work. In November 1906 at his own
expense, after giving the subject ex-
haustive study as to the best plan, he
put in operation the most approved
methods for carrying on the work.
Like all new movements it has de-
veloped slowly but with the loyal as
sistance of Supt. Fl. NJ. Cook and
many of the teachers, the number of
has increased to between
230 and 300--a fair start. 1t is to
be hoped, however that parents will
more fully how much they
owe to Mr.. Jones for his generous
and public spirited effort They
should give the movement their earn
est and enthusiastic encoura cement,
bearing in mind that the purpose is
not so much in the amount the child
carries TO school each week to hand
the teacher, but that some small sum
is taken regularly each week. Teach
the habit, ald induce them to take
pleasure in it. Teach children self
denial and make its practice pleasure
able, and you create for the world a
destiny more sublime than ever is

RAISED BREAD RATES.
South Carolina Railroad Commissio I
After Express Company.

The railroad commission and the
Southern Express Company have
clashed again, this time over what
the commission considers the Com
pany's attempt to raise the Interstate
rates on bread between 20 and 2!
per cent throughout the State. This
class Of business is very heavy
out of Charleston, Columbia, Augusta
and Charlotte, where there are mod
ern bakers doing business with near
by towns and cities and small sta
tions. and the business has been
steadily growing for some time.
The tariff issued by the company
last May calls class c rate based OIL
the net weight of bread. Last month
on complaint of B. J. Nilsson & Bro,
of Orangeburg, that company was
charging tolls on basis of one
mound to the loaf, whereas the
breads actual weight was only II
ounces to the loaf, the commission
forced the company TO CONFORM 10 us
published tariff.
Now it turns out that the COMPANY
over the signature Of Superintendent
]. H. Marvin and Second Vice Presl-
dent Loop, has issued a new tariff
calling it supplement No. 5, to rata
sheet No. 464, in which the class
is reduced to class D, but basing
the rate on the gross weight. The
commission figures this out at an
increase of between 90 and 25 per
cent and Wednesday notified the COM
pany officials that it would not ap-
prove this new tariff and demanding
that the company maintain the old
rates.
