TALKS ON THRIFT
The Weekly Saving Plan

''The principal of thrift is the foundation of characte .''-John A Dix. movement has been started to get peo- pie to promise themselves to save and deposit something in the bank every week. The pledge or covenant they make with themselves is as follows:
 T, will become weekly saver" and will deposit s every week for at least 52 weeks to my credit In savings account at the bank.
 tSigned) .......................
 This seems like very good idea. The object of the plan is threefold:
 l. To demonstrate to depositors that in a year they can make 52 regular weekly deposits of at least certain sum-no mat ter how small.
 ?. To show them that by adhering to their resolution for 52 weeks they form habit through which it will be easier for them to keep on saving than to stop.
 3. To acquire cash capital with which to grasp opportunity, realize an ambition or be ready for sudden and unusual me- cessity.
 The advantages of such a method 0f building up reserve fund are brought out. by implication, in these words of banker in the Lompoc valley of California, who says.
 '.The past two years, particularly the last one, have been what we call short years in this valley. The rainfall was be- low the average and consequently the crops were short For several years pre- vious to 1912. our crops were exceptionally good, and everyone seemed to feel that he was making money and that this condi- ton would continue indefinitely. Instead of paying off their mortgages and other indebtedness, a great many added to their land holdings, bought automobiles, etc. So when the short years came they were unprepared'
 systematic method of saving is of ben eft not only to farmers. wage-earners and salaried persons, but business men would do well to consider it seriously as a plan to build up reserve capital.
 Those who have arrived" are as likely to need an emergency or opportunity fund as are their employees.
 Any business man. personally. may have need of little extra private capital some day, available in cash. outside of his busi- ness. unknown to others and ready for any call.
 Build personal reserve. Have busi- ness reserve, too. Don't argue that you can use your money to better advantage in your business. A reserve may be your financial salvation some day.
 Don't say you will save weekly after you have caught up'' in expenses. for saving week by week Is the best way in the world to catch up.
 You will never earn enough money to spend all you want to before you begin to save anything.

are now impressed with tho fact that
next to their military duties their chief
business on ship will be the instruction
of enlisted men. \ short normal course
has been added to the Naval Academy
curriculum that tney may inteliigcntly
approach their task. The compulsory
character of this instruction and the
realization by the men that they must
study until they attain proficiency IN
the common school branches and that
the instruction is ordered fer the pur-
pose of increasing their effioi.ncy-which
means increase of pay--is expected 10
overcome any hostility 10 the new do

American warships crews are quite
young The average age of the crews
Of battieships in the voyage around the
world was twenty-three years. 50 there
are no barnacled prejudices 70 overcome
academic instruction is designed to tram
tie men to think sy scientifically.
Technical instruction might be roughly
divided into two classes: that necessary
to assure the efficiency of the personnel
of the ship as a whole: and that design
ed to encourage men to seek promotion.

The engines are not heavy enough. :
continued Mr.. Wright TO Withstand the
constant shock and vibration without a
rest. ! do not doubt that the trip could
be made with ease if one or two resting
places Were provided on the way But,
of course. this is not the plan. and I
cannot believe that an aviator who

EDUCATION IN THE NAVY
Livery Ship a School.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The man behind the gun is now the
man behind the text book. Under gen
eraI order No 63, issued by Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. the sea
going arm OF the national defense is be-
coming a great university. Bluejackets
in the forecastle study the three RS as
groundwork for technical instruction in
the arts of war Petty officers attend
classes where is taught the theory as
well as the practice OF the multifarious
duties aboard a modern nian-o'- war.
Commissioned officers not only stand
watch and drill their divisions. but act as
teachers for the crew and sometimes spe-
cialize in technical courses at the great
institutions ashore. In the Naval War
College at Newport grizZled rear admirals
who left the schoolrooms of Annapolis
nearly forty years ago bone" problems
of strategy, tactics, international law and
diplomacy.
The navy has turnNi earnestly to in
tensive education. No more will boys run
away to sea because they are tired of
school. The first thing Il recruit is asked
when he reports at the naval training
station, where all laudsnen are sent for
preliminary instruction before being as
SIS1leu 10 SH1pS. Is. now llluCH common
school education have you had"' And
unless he show that he is we'll
grounded in reading, writing and arith-
metic. spelling. geography and history, he
viii find himself marched each day into
a classroom where d young officer will
drill these subjects into his head until he
can pass a satisfactory examination. If
the recruit be especially deficient his in
struction will be continued after he is as
signed to d wafship and goes to sea. He
can't play hockey unless he jumps over
the side. That course has its draw backs.
His disappearance is almost sure to be
noted. the man overheard signal
broken out at the truck, boats lowered
and the delinquent hailed back to the
schoolroom. The navy is going after book
learning with the same determination
that it smashes targets. Old officers
rather pooh-poohed the policy at first,
but orders is orders and all hands
have settled down to the idea that they
must be either pupils or teachers from
the time they enter the service until they
leave.
