A great philosopher has said "No

did not in his youth learn 20 save.
Il is not 20 be universally expected
that those who have spent the early
years of their lives utterly disregarding
economy and saving will become thrifty
and frugal when they have grown up.
Therefore thrift should be taught tho
children carly in their lives, thus laying q
solid foundation for future national thrift.
Our public schools were originally
founded for what we call the development
Of manhood and womanhood. Children
must be prepared in the schools for the
duties Of Citizenship, and subjects pertain

occupy larger and more important place
in the educational department zach year,
We have begun TO realize that every one

Ibelieve I II the question were taken up
by all the state superintendents Of our
public schools and a national propa-

which we all are longing for would be
well on the way to realization. For we
can never have national thrift until we
have individual thrift and we can never
have individual thrift unless we begin with
our children. II a campaign Of this kind
in all our schools were begun ] am sure a
lasting benefit 10 posterity would result.
We are guided a great deal BY our
sympathies and our antipathies; IL is
most natural for child 70 follow in the

the child does not see thrift practiced AZ
home, the benefits which he may derive
through the teaching Of the rudiments Of
thrift learned in the public schools will,
in great measure, be offset by his lack

Parents, therefore, should cooperate
with the schools in teaching girls and
boys 70 appreciate the value OF money,
the wisdom Of thrift and economy.
Germany, France and Belgium have been
educating their Young for years how 70
