The school savings system Is being
adopted in many cities in the United
States. The idea is an imported one.
The Journal of the American Bankers
association tells how it was adopted in
this country, as follows:
1T is curious to note how the school
savings bank idea originated. The late
John H. Thirty was the creator of the
system Il is, like many of our good
things. an important idea, Mr. Thirty
being q native OF Belgium, and the
system here is modelled after that in
use in France, Belgium and Germany.
Mr. Thirty early became impressed
with the extravaganza Of American
children, and concluded rightfully, that
improvidence in youth means impro-
violence, and perhaps poverty, in old
age; and if habits of thrift are not
learned in youth the chances are
against their requirement later in life.
He sought a remedy, and found that
1t lay in one of two places Cor both
the home and the school room. Being
a trustee of the public schools OF Long
Island city, he naturally turned his at
tention to the school as the most like
ly medium The school teaches other
things-why not thrift? was his ar
gument He found no difficulty in
gaining the consent of his fellow trus-
tees to try the experiment. It sue
ceeded. Wherever It has been given
fair test 1t has not only succeeded. but
has won the admiration OF all. Bank
men and educators have looked upon
il and pronounced it good New York
has Iegalized it; bank commissioner
OF Massachusetts has advocated its in
