TALKS ON THRIFT

and self.-Montgomery Advertiser.
The school of journalism of the
University of Missouri has prepared
a series of advertisements for banks
of that state in which the cause of
education and the encouragement of
the habits of saving are admirably
united.
IF you will open an account with
us when your son enters high school
and let him help you each week by
the time he completes his high
school course there will be sufficient
in the fund to take him through
college," says one of the advertise
ments. . .
OF course, the purpose is to have
parents save money with the educa-
ton of their children as an object
and then use those savings by send
ing the young people to the Missouri
institution. But the idea is a good
one for parents everywhere. What
father or mother could not take to
heart such an argument as the fol-
lowing:
$500 a year will give your
son or daughter a university
education.
This is about the average
yearly expense of each Of the
$500 students at the University
of Missouri.
Only $40 a month deposited
in the bank at compound inter-
est for so months will enable
your son to achieve his hearts
desire for a college education.
He can earn enough in vacation
times to finish out the fund"
Such a purpose provides one of
the strongest possible motives for
thrifty living.
In this connection, it is not out Of

giving lessons of thrift a place III
