School Banks and Economy

In view of the recent adoption by
Rock Island of the school savings plan.
the following editorial on the subject
from the Christian Science Monitor is
of interest:
with the constant increase of ways
in which outgo may get the better Of
income, intelligent plans to check pos
sible extravaganza should be welcome
on every hand. The Massachusetts
state bank commissioner, Arthur B.
Chaplin, is backed by statistics both in
Europe and America when he RECON-
mends that the establishment of school
savings banks be authorized in this
commonwealth, and he may justly ask
legislative support. Bankers all over
the state apparently endorse the pro-
ject, and there was no expressed oppo-
sition to 1t at the recent hearing be
fore the committee on banks and bank
ing. This favorable attitude naturally
might have been expected, however,
for the school savings bank inculcates
in the child the habit of economy, and
days generally takes form in after
years.
That which the school savings bank
system has meant to at least two other
countries. 1t may yet mean to the
United States-a splendid training of
youth to see the culminative buying

One, which is in operation here and
there under local authority allows the

deposited in the bank on a passbook

By the other system the children deal
directly with the banks. Either of
these plans might be introduced in
Massachusetts with satisfactory re
suits.

WHY THE WIND BLOWS.
The Basic Principle, the Tendency Of
Hot Airs to Rise.

The Basic Principle, the Tendency Of
Hot Airs to Rise.
The wind, ike other things of every
day life, rarely invites notice unless it
is unusually high" and rarely do we
hear the questions, why does the
wind blow?" why doesn't the wind
blow?"
What is this wind that rushes "out
of the nowhere into the here?" Why
should it blow at all, or why some
times so gently and at other times
with the resistIesS force of the hurri-
cane?
The wind could have no power, It
could not even exist, il the air had no
weight, this weight having been shown
to be about thirty-one grains for each
hundred cubic inches of air. When air
is put in motion the effect IS like that
obtained by throwing a ball against an
object The harder you throw the ball
the harder it will strike. and the great
er the number of balls thrown at one
time the greater will be the force of
the blow. When the wind is blowing
it strikes what 1t blows against, and
the harder it blows chat is. the greater
the speed OF Ine arr the 0druer II Will
strike against the resisting object.
What causes the wind to blow or
why the air should be in motion is not
easy TO explain. Simply stated, it is
caused by the tendency of hot air to
rise and thus to form partial vacuum
into which the cooler surrounding air
rIshes, in much the same way as
water will rush downward TO seek its
level. If the earth were smooth, if it
did not rotate and if there were no
sun the air would be motionless. When
the sun shines on a wide space of the
earth the afr of that region becomes
heated. this great volume of warm air
rises and the cooler, heavier surround
ing air flows in TO take its place. AS
the earth rotates there tends to be
formed ring of heated and rising air
with currents infiowing at the bottom
and at both sides. This is the condi-
ton that prevails near the equator and
causes the trade winds that blow so
steadily. The rotation of the earth
causes the wind south of the equator
to flow toward the northwest and that
north Of this line to flow toward the
southwest.-St. Nicholas.
