PRESS NOTICE

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hostil-
tiles opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began TO increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-informed
persons who, in their imagination,
saw lines of feverish depositors at
postofIice pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the boot
leg and body-belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted to Uncle
Sam. But the forecasters failed to
reckon on the absolute confidence of
the American citizen, regardless Of
the flag that first met his eyes in
the ability and purpose of the Gov
ernment to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations of the
earth, but with the humblest citizen
VI Oul lhnu'
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now patrons
of our postal-savlngs system; and
enormous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial uses
among our own people at time when
the need for every available dollar is
pressing.
The growth of postal savings in
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has filed
an important gap between the tin-can
depository and the factory paymaster
On July !, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
Transmission of money across the At
lantic was safe and expeditions, there
was approximately $43,000,000 of
postal savings standing to the credit
of about 3SS,000 depositors. Since
then over $10,000,000 of deposits
have been added and the number OF
depositors has increased enormously
This unprecedented gain is the more
striking when it is considered that
the net gain in the last three months
Is larger than the gain for the entire
focal ~ nfianu
have done more postal-savings busi-
ness since the war has been going on
than was done by them during the
prevfOusr&ls Of the services The
Increases are confined to no special
localities, but have been felt in every
nook and corner of the country. New
York City alone made gain in Sep
tember OF more than million, while
Brooklyn showed relatively big in
crease. Chicago reported larger
gain in the past three months than
for the previous twelve months. More
than 1000 new accounts were opened
during the period, bringing the num-
Der of depositors in that city up to
over 1000.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting prob
lens which have called for the care
full personal consideration of Post
master General Burleson and Gov
ernor Dockery, Third Assistant Post
master General. But their task has
been lightened somewhat by the
promptness of depository banks in
furnishing additional security to meet
the abnormal deposits. A number of
the very largest banks In the country,
which have heretofore declined to
qualify as repositories for postal
savings funds, are now among the
eager applicants for them.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

formally organized last Monday night.
We have twenty-four members and
as soon as all the instruments arrive
that we have ordered we will begin
class work in earnest. There was
some question at first as to when the
class should meet, and after everyone
had been consulted it was decided
that more could meet at D. m. than
at p. m. This will allow those who
have to work for their support a
chance TO do their tasks before dark
and then come to class after supper.
Oliver Frame has presented the
Agriculture class with a novelty in
the form of piece of sugar cane
from Lake Charles, Louisiana. This
cane is very different from our west
ern sorghums. 1t seldom produces
any seed, but the stalks are buried
in rows and at each node there is
stool of canes formed which attain a
height of twenty feet in some cases.
The sap from this variety yields the
sugar commonly called cane sugar.
Last week 'muskrat made its way
across the basket ball court at the
school house and was promptly cap
tured by the boys. A box was made
for it and it has been on exhibition
ever since.
Last Thursday evening Mr.. Schu-
macker captured a pair Of red bats
on his porch. Friday they were
brought to the school house and many
of the students, and teachers had
their first look at pair Of BATS.
La Verne Bowen is still absent from
school, there being very little lin
proyement in her sisters health.
James Smith has been absent all

the program and others were there
to get the ideas in education.
The manual training boys are ready
to turn out several projects for their
patrons. Several have completed
some very nice pieces OF cabinet
work.
The benches which we have been
looking for so long arrived this week
and were Immediately set up and are
in use every afternoon There are
now forty-seven boys taking manual
training work
The class in mechanical drawing is
indebted to Mr. Bowling for some
sample drawings. They will be
framed and hung as soon as the boys
can complete the work. Among other
subjects treated in these drawings is
drawing for machine for testing
horsepower and one drawing showing
a sample of Doric architecture.
The supplies for the class in draw
ing will probably come next week,
and then the boys will be able to ink
their drawings.
