LEWIS HURTS HIS
POLITICAL CHANCES
Vote on immigration Bill and Pro.
hibitiOn nake Him Impossible
Candidate

The Baltimore American is dis
patch from its Washington bureau
says:
Representative Lewis of the Sixth
Maryland district, was at the White
douse and made a belated appeal to
the President to sign the Immigration
bill Mr.. Wilson told Mr.. Lewis that
ne came too late, because the veto
message was then on his desk ready to
be sent to the House of Representatives
as soon as that body met.
Political friends of Mr.. Lewis deep
ly regret his warm championship of the
Immigration bill with its literacy test.
Those of his friends who have sought
to encourage in Mr.. Lewis an ambition
to succeed Senator Blair Lee in the
Senate or to follow Governor Colds
borough in the Executive Mansion at
Annapolis, have now abandoned all their
efforts, for it is conceded on every hand
that by his recent votes in the House
on the immigration bill and on the pro-
hibition question, Mr.. Lewis has made
himself impossible as a candidate for
any office at which the people of Mary
land as whole and not merely those of
the Sixth district may vote.

SAVINGS BANKS FOR SCHOOLS
National Board of Education ADVISES
Incubation Of Habit of Thrift.

A million and quarter dollars is on
deposit in school savings banks in
the United States, according to bull
letin just issued by the Bureau of Edu-
cation. This money is distributed
among 2l70O0 pupils, who thereby
learn lessons Of thrift for use in later
life.
Belgium has the honor of original
ing the school savings bank system,
according to the bulletin. Prof. Lau-
rent, of Client, Belgium, in 1873, be
gan the work among school children
"for ameloration of poverty and the
improvement Of individual and national
life. " His work soon attracted the
attention of the leaders of education
in other countries.
A native Of Belgium, John Henry
Thirty, put the school savings banks on
a permanent footing in the United
States. Mr.. Thirty established banks
in Long Island City, ~ Y, and the
New York schools, under Supt. Max
well, have been among the most sue
cessful advocates of the system. Mr..
Thirty's efforts in behalf OF school saw
ings banks have been continued since
his death IN 1911, by Mrs. Sara Louisa
Oberholtzer, of Philadelphia, who has
aided in the compilation of the Bu-
reau's bulletin on the subject.
Several methods in vogue for col
lecting and banking the savings of the
children are described. Usually the CO.
operation of well established savings
bank in the school community is first
secured. Forms and blanks are pro-
vided by the banks. When the amount
