TEACH The CHILDREN TO SAVE MONEY

1t Is often and truthfullv said that
penny saved is penny made The
foundation OF many of the great sest
fortunes was begun by saving a penny.
The habit. of saving is one of the best
that can be formed Every child
should be taught to save something
everv week. The atisfaction of
counting these pennies when the bank
is emptied is one of the pleasures that
We never forget; perhaps everv one of
us can remember the thrill of JOY we
had when we emptied the contents of
the bank on the table and counted and
recounted this mountain of wealth.
How eager we were to tell our little
friends the amout of our great fortune.

Rev. Hurd A. Drake offered the invo.
cation. The idea on which Mr.. Bryan
centered his remarks in the evening
WAS that of Efficiency. He
said that about seveuty-hve per
cent of men work with things,
with objects; twenty per cent work
with symbols: five per cent work con-
strucively The first seventy-five per
cent are comparatively poorly paid
the twenty per cent much better paid !;
while the remaining five per cent re.
ceive the highest wages. The reason
is that the last FIVE per cent are bv far
the most efficient. Efficiency is what
counts it is what makes man worth
most. To illustrate, he took the rail
road business The man who works
on the section with pick and shovel
and ties and rails works with things
higher up in the scale is the man who
designs bridges. and so on working
with symbols. for he builds bridges
not with wood and iron but with
symbols; lastly there is the president
who does the constructive work of the
railroad.

found that dry stuff was much better

asked which she took up in the after

At IL 100, Jason Woodmsn of Paw
Paw, one of the conductors of the in.
stitute spoke on the question of Live
Stock as Factor ir Farming He
said that he had found that by far
the best method was to feed stock 20
that he could get the manure and .hen
the proper care of it by putting it un-
der shelter rather than allowing il TO
lose its strength out in the open air.
Manure left exposed winter will lose
from twenty-five to fifty per cent of Its
strength. BY properly raring for ana
using of the manure. Mr.. Woodman
was able to bring his soil into such
condition that he raised 800 bushels
on land which forty-hve years ago
was almost abandoned on account of
its bsrrenness

which the point of grating was raised

NEW BANKING SYSTEM
Recently Installed in the City Schools
Proving a Success.
s6l.Ss DEPOSITED FIRST WEEK
System Of Saving Good One. Money Now Goes
to Bank Instead Of All day Suckers, Etc.

The system of banking established
in the public schools few weeks 90
has proved to be the biggest sort of a
success. In fact. it is even much more
successful than its instigators them
selves had hoped for. The very first
week that the system was in running
order there had been depotsied to the
pupils credit the sum of SCI So An
amount like this as the result of the
first weeks work is remarkable
showing And besides this direct
monetary benefit the teachers report
that all-day-sucker and other tempt
ing dainties are almost unknown In
the vicinity of the school yards, as a
result of which no doubt the stomach
and the appetites of the pupils are in
much better shape
The system complete in its working
order is very interesting and well
worth looking into AS has been ex-
plained before, the main points In the
piah oic as ioHoWs' LoCh pupii III thc
school is provided with a pass book at
a nominal cost. He makes all his
depositos of whatever size thev may
be with his teacher. She credits the
amount on the pass book and records
it on slip of white paper specially
printed for the purpose She turns both
the slips and the money over to the
superintendent at stated intervals,
who in turn deposits the total amount
a check on his accounts. the pupil is
obliged to 20 to his teacher, who
looks up his record and if his credit
is sufficient to cover the amount which
he wishes to draw. she allows him to
make out the check OH a regular print
ed check book. which she countersigns
This paper is then payable at either
local bank. When checks are made
a record is entered on brown slip CT
paper and sent in with the teacher S
deposit slips and money.
When the Superintendent has re-
ceived all the reports and money he
turns them over.to the student book
keepiog department of the high school
who check them up and keen all the
books of the banking syetem. Thus
that part or the high school curriculum
has received a great benefit as result
of the installation of the system. The
students are dealing with real money.
with real business affairs. and as a re-
suit much better and more conscien-
tious work is being done. One pupil
recently had an error In his work
so that he was short quite a sum.
Now in the ordinary method of book
keeping that would mean nothing
more than that the pupil must if pos
81 BILE find his error when he can in
order to 90 on. Now. however. the
actual loss of money stares him in
the face and if he cannot find his
mistake he will have verv eubarrass-
ing time explaining. But he won t
need to explain; he'll find his error.
