Over at Elroy school authorities have
inaugurated move that its very nature
must be beneficial to children and COM
munity. In connection with the public
schools a savings department il started,
where small amounts of money may be
deposited. Any amount from one cent
uD can be deposited and when the total
for any child reaches 81 the child will be
given an account with the bank, of his
or her own. The child can draw from
this money only, with the written con-
sent Of the parents. ANY child leaving
the school will be given his or her money.
The idea is TO encourage children TO
save up their money and start bank
account.
