child may deposit any amount from
one cent up. Each child depositinl
is furnished with card on which the
teacher receipts each deposit as It Is
made. She keeps a book in which
she enters the deposit and then turns
the entire amount over to the super
intendent who gives her q receipt for
the total amount deposited with her
The superintendent then sends the
janitor with the deposit to the treas
urer of the board of education who
receipts him for the amount. In this
manner each teacher keeps an ac
count with the individual pupil; the
superintendent, an account with each
teacher; and the treasurer only with
the superintendent.
A child desiring to withdraw all or
any amount of his deposit can do so
any Monday morning by presenting
his check signed by the pupil himself
and countersigned by the parent and su.
perintendent. The amount drawn is
likewise entered on the pupils card and
the balance carried forward so that
the child can see at a glance the
amount to his credit The first de-
post, amounting to $32.GS, was made
Monday morning, October -. The de-
post October 10 was $IO.i6 and so
on until now there is in the hands Of
the treasurer $2GG.3G belonging to the
school children. OF this amount
$2Gl5O is invested by order of the
board in school and county warrants
drawing Z per cent interest. The
pupil will receive the entire amount of
interest received which will be APP
portioned by the treasurer at the
close of the school year, each child
getting credit for his proportionate
share of the interest determined by
the amount Of his deposit. During the
three months, in which the system
mas been in operation only small
amount has been withdrawn, several
of the children drawing their checks
the Monday before Christmas. but not
to any great extent. The amount de-
posted by the superintendent Deem
Der II was only $500, but January 4
it again was up to $2142, which seems
to be an average weekly deposit.
About 80 per cent of the pupils in
the school deposit with their teachers,
the percentage being largest in the
lower rooms where possibly 80 per
cent of the pupils avail themselves of
the privilege. The percentage de-
creases as you go up in the grades, be-
ing lowest in the high school
AS before stated, the plan is not
to get pupils to hoard up money, but
to teach them to save. 1t also gives
them some idea of doing business. The
patrons of the school also take a
great interest in the system, so there
can be no doubt of the ultimate sue.
cess of the project. Professor Gilbert.
who has done so much for our schools
in the short time that he has been
here, explained the plan fully and
ably to the pupils so that even the

mountain lion has never failed to make
its appearance some where in that
county during December of each year
and to keep up it's mauriding deprada,
lions until the balmy days Of spring
should drive ii away. Custer is a
peculiar county in that respect-much
worse than Logan just west of it,
where Jess Candy roams at WILL and
where they go by sun time instead of
by railroad time as the sun is so
much nearer. If they could only get
sea serpent to go splashing up and
down Mud creek in Broken Bow, sure
ly their joy would reach no limits.
Wonder what kind of booze they have
over in Custer county, any way. It's
effect seems to be marvellous at GER
tain times of the year This last one
was seen near Oconto-seen by a COM
mercial traveller who was driving from
Oconto to Broken Bow. 1t was lying
in the middle of the road, and when he
approached, the animal got up with a
murderous growl and skunk away-its
eyes blazing the meanwhile like two
full moons. The commercial club of
Broken Bow is interesting itself in
the matter and an organized effort will
be made to run the varmint down.
They say that Oconto is the only place
in Custer that has saloons, but Broken
Bow was always noted for handy and
convenient drug stores.
