SCHOOL BANK SAVES
BIG SUM IN BOSTON
Savings Deposite Instituted for Benefit
of Children Has Proven Great
Success-$4oo0 BY One
School.

BOSTON, Mass, May 6.-ThOse now
engaged in spreading abroad the gOs
pei of savings bank insurance-in ac-
cordance with a carefully organized
plan to make really effective the
unique scheme which Massachusetts
has provided for old-age provision
find their chief difficulty IN the fact
that working people generally have
either lost or never acquired the
habit of saving. Clearly then this saw
ing habit is one of the things which
our public school system would do
we'll to teach.
1t was with this belief in mind that
the civic betterment committee of the
Quincy WOmen's club, of which Mrs
Williams Ward Pitcher. of Atlantic. is
chairman, inaugurated last fall a sys-
tenn of school savings which has been
so remarkably successful that at the
end of three months the committee
could point to $4,000 deposited in the
Quincy Savings Bank by the school
children of the city alone.
The initial cost of introducing this
system was $50 and it was met by
it believed the outlay to be we'll worth
the investment. All the other schemes
of savings were investigated before
the one adopted was chosen, but the
actual handling of The money and the
making out by each child of a deposit
slip similar to the one he would use
in bank was thought by Frank E.
Parlin, superintendent of the Quincy
schools, greatly to exceed in educa-
tional value a stamp saving system or
any other hitherto devised. The event
has proved the wisdom of this method
in which he, no less than Mrs. Pitch
err, had great faith.
One candy man in the town has al
ready had to shut up shop because
where he formely sold ten tons of
cheap sweets, he could now sell moth
ing. Think of the consequent saving
to the teeth, temper and digestion of
the children, not to speak of the all
that parents will not have to spend
upon dentists, doctors and physic.
The machinery used in this school
savings system is very simple. The
child. who has earned or saved from
his allowance some pennies which he
wishes to lay aside, fills out a deposit
slip, and this is received by the
teacher each Monday at the morning
session. The slip and the amount for
each child are delivered to the master
and he deposits the same in the Quincy
Savings Bank Immediately, issuing to
each dspositor a card upon which the
child keeps an accurate record of his
deposits or Withdrawals. When a pu-
Pill has a deposit of s. or more the
savings bank issues a handbook in his
name.
One wise provision of the scheme is
that deposits can he Withdrawn only
in cas- of necessity, illness or removal
from the town. All Withdrawals are
made through the master and at the
personal request of the father. mother
or guardian of the pupil who with
draws the money.

IT CERTAINLY Is.

The Charlotte Observer calls the
tariff "a live subject" and 1t certainly
Is all OF that 1t would not be very
far wrong to call It live WIRE for
that matter. There has never been a
time since We had a protective tariff
at all in our governmental affairs when
1t was not a source OF worry and vexa-
ton to both it's advocates and it's oppo-
,nents. That is especially the case at
this lime. The Republican is essen
italy the high tariff party, but 1t lacks
very much Of being united on 1t. There
are many strong and influential Repub-
Leans North, East and West, who will
not subscribe to universal protection.
On some bjects they are free traders,
as a matter OF fact. because the re-
moval of import duties from certain
articles would mean gain to some Of the
people at home. Self interest goes a
long way with most folks, and there
are many in New England and in the
West to whom free trade on certain
articles would be highly profitable.
Are Democrats very much better of?
Plainly not. for we are continually be-
ing reminded, both by Congresmen and
others, that there are prominent Demo-
Gratis who do not object to having a
slice of protection come their way for
the good Of certain interests in which
they are concerned. And this kind of
cross purposes is giving Congress much
trouble at present and is likely to re-
suit in putting on the country a tariff
law that will not be satisfactory to any
body or any section, or to either politi
cal party. II there were no such thing
as self interest, either among states
men OF others, it might be possible to
agree on a tariff schedule that would
be fair, Just and equitable to all sec
lions and ali interests. but at present
that doesn't seem among the probabili-
ties.
Certainly the tariff is a live subject
and we predict that there will be some
scorched fingers before they are done
monk eying with 1t.

WEDNESDAY. Arm Is, 1900.


The civilized world might well re-
1olce at the complete victory of the
Young Turks in the civil strife In Tur-
key. The country has been dark and
Bloody ground. and the hope for peace.
enlightenment and tranquility depends
upon the Anal success Of the Young
Turks. no matter what disposition they
may make OF the Sultan.
Thousands OF innocent people. most OF
whom have been Christians. have been
brutally butchered in Asiatic Turkey
IN the past few weeks. The battles in
constantinopls between the troops Of
the Sultan and of the Young Turks
have been bloody. but tha world can
aot view with the same degree of hor-
ror the killing of men on the battle
field that It doss the slaughter in
greater numbers Of helpless ana inno-
cent people because of their religion.
1t would seem that the gioomiest chap
tiers OF all history. when fanaticism
ruled supreme. were being rewritten.
The Christian world win hardly con-
ciude that the triumph OF the Young
Turks means anything like the con-
version OF the Turkish Empire from
4siamism. but 1t will mean the sup
planting OF fanaticism by federation
and by certain kind Of justice. And
In the past Turkey and justice have
been incompatible. The new order will
bring liberation and an enlighten-
ment that would have required hun
dreds of years under the old order.
The Young Turks. beyond doubt. rep
resent the best intelligence and the
best conception of justice that exists
IN that benighted land.
They managed the bloodless revolu-
lion of several months ago admirably.
They took their temporary overthrow
from power by bribery and treachery
In the best possible spirit and then set
about restoring themselves to power
ably and eficiently. The brief cam
paign which put them in control Of
Constantinople and the entire Turkish
Empire was splendidly managed.
The situation now allows the hope
that western culture. western educa-
tion ana western justice will take the
Mace of the murderous fanaticism that
has made Turkey blot on the map Of
the modern world.

Transforming a Home.

The Home Magazine for April.
Fixing up an old house and trans
forming 1t into a CHEEKY, charming
home is one OF the fascinating prob
lens of our present-day endeavors.
There is no room so awkward that
It Is Impossible to transform II into an
arsistic, satisfactory apartment Nor
is 1t a matter of carpentry or masonry
but rather a matter of taste. as well
as careful judgment In the selection
of wall coIors and care in their use.
The use of a room has much bear
ing upon the scheme of decoration. If
II is to he used as a study for a quiet
hour, 1t certainly should be given quiet
colors, and soft. delicate treatment.
We do not need to tear down the
walls to lower the ceilings IL they ap-
pear too high and give bare unfur-
ntshed effect. Dark tones advance the
wall or ceiling toward us-lessen the
apparent distance and decrease the eff
feet of size. Dark walls lessen the ap-
parent size of room and light walls
Increase the apparent size.
When ceilings are not too high
when rooms have large openings into
and from each other, 1t is a good plan
to use a rich ivory white tone for all
the ceilings and harmonizing colors Tor
the side walls.
Use a warm, rich, brownish side wall
for living room: then suppose the re-
ception hall Is on the north side. here
a cafe-au-lait, or yellow tan side wall
with ivory ceiling will give decidedly
charming effect.
The use of a conventional fourth
stencil design following about four
inches above the standing woodwork
reaching over doors, following over
baseboards and going up over the win
dow frame. Is unique individual and
very effective. and is being used with
great success by the best decorators in
New York and Chicago.
Having decided on the color scheme
ana having also chosen its form. the
really important thing is to choose
the vehicle or medium Of color, for un-
less a material be chosen that has per-
manent colors and non-rubbing quail
ties our decorations. however beauti-
ful. unique and attractive, are entirely
worthless IL not actually useless So
this matter Of material Is, after all the
vital point In the F.Hecess Of the deco
rative scheme.
While the softly tinted wall is thor
ou1hly up-to-datc and artistic. the
whole effect Is likely to be a sad dis
appointment unless a preparation like
alabastine Is used as the vehicle Of
color, for the soft, velvety, artistic ala
bastine eolors viii not fade, and never

The Capture Of Roosevelt.

John l.. Mathews, criting in Success
Magazine, tells how President Roose-
Welt was first interested in waterways.
The stimulus which all the rest of
the country was feeling could not miss
the White House. President Roosevelt
began to feel 1t, too. Who first per-
ceived the relation between the inn
provement of rivers and the Forest
Service history does not tell. Presi-
dent Kavanaugh of the Lakes-to-t the
Gulf Society gives credit to DR.. Nc
Gee. who suggested to him. one day,
that the movement would travel fast

good channels ultimately depended.
This led to further investigation and
to the discovery of the need of hold
ing for the people the control of wa
ter power. This again, ably engineer
ed by Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, became the
foundation of Presidents Roosevelt's ia
nous Waterway Commission, and this

our national resources So If Mr..
Roosevelt is the father of that and Mr..
Pinchot its grandfather. John Fox, for
all his youth, must posa as its great
great-grandfather and a very active
member OF the family.
The waterway Commission was ap-
pointed at the suggestion of the same
Lakes to- the-Gulf agitation. And it
was they. who. under the guise of that
Organization. invited President Roose-
Welt to make his famous trip down the
Mississippi. To invite him was easy

trip that the Conference OF Governors

SOME COMPARISONS.

While it may he true that compari-
sons are sometimes odious, it is also
a fact that sometimes they are highly
suggestive. The New York World calls
attention to the fact that one of the
proposed great battleships will cost
$4,000, 900. or a little more, and then
makes the following comparisons.

The principal object that attracts the
eye on approaching Montgomery is the

On entering the atmosphere of this
building of history one instinctively

element OF the first days of the war.

that the Superintendent OF Education

the teachers under them and they ask
the children to prepare on a certain
day to give 10 cents each to pay for
a thousand electric lights to illumine
