TO SAVE MONEY
SAVINGS BANK TO BE OPENED IN
HoUeHToN SCHOOLS THIS
WEEK CIRCULAR Ex-
PLAINS PLAN.

\ savings bank for the pupils OF IN,
Houghton public schools. provision FOL
which was made at meeting OF the
board OF education in December. is Ia
De opened for deposits this week Ex
tracts from circular issued by Super
intendent John A. Doelle Ia the par
ents OF the children explain the sys-
TEN which is TO be put TO a test. as
follows:
The supreme object OF our public
school education is 10 train the youth
Of our nation FOR citizenship. one of
the essentials of good citizenship. and
an element which more than any 9th
er needs 10 be thoroughly inculcated in
our national character, is frugality. the
Parent OF Liberty. If the public
school is to fulfill its purpose. there
lore. II must teach thrift 1t cannot
escape economic relations and duties.
lmprovidence is an evil force that is
threatening our national prosperitv
Waste in domestic and national life is
appalling. The logical remedy is the
training of the young in the habits of
thrift and the inculcation. through
educational means, of industry tenn
perance and economy. This is the pur-
pose or the School Savings Bank.
Whatever else Of good may accrue
from it, its primal object is the form
ing and fixing OF actual habits of saw
ing and thrift. That this is accom-
phshed is the unanimous testimony of
school officers, teachers and all who
have had opportunity to view CLOSELY
the working Of the plan.
Briefly, our plan is To have the
teachers receive the money from the
children, enter the same i'm a bank
book, and then all amounts are taken
10 the Commercial Department at the
nigh school where the actual account |
ing Is done. The money is then demo- |
sited in the city banks by the treasur- |
er OF the school district, II. w. Stoyle |
interest is paid the children at the
same rate paid us by the bank and no |
money can be withdrawn without tho
consent Of the parent We have safe |
guarded all the details of the system
so there will be the minimum of error
ana risk.
