SCHOOL SAVINGS ; " BANKS SUCCESSFUL
Now More Than $1,250,0oo in These Banks, Says Blu
 re'au of Education.

Washington, Feb: 5.---tMore than st. 250,000 is on deposit in school sav- ings banks, according to a survey made by the bureau of education. The figures have been issued in connec- tion with a complete history of school banking in this country
 Francois Laurent, Belgian, is credited with being the father of the school savings idea, which he inaug- urated in 1884. Sereno F. Merrill, superintendent of schools at Beloit, Wis, introduced the system in Beloit in 1876. Capt. R. H.siPratt, superin- tendent of the Carlisle (Pa.) Indian school, established a savings system for the Indians under his supervision in 1879, and for years the students kept an average of $10,000 in the school bank.
 Then Tn 1885 came another Belgian, Jchn Henry Thiry,fwho put the school savings system on permanent foot ing in this country. MT. Thiry made a lot of money in the book business in this country, and about 1873 he retir- ed to devote himself to popularizing school savings. Up to the time of his death he was one of the vital factors in this work
 MT. Thiry was 3 close friend of M. de Malarce, who was in charge of the school savings system of France, and he corresponded frequently with Prof. Laurent. From this interchange of ideas Mr. Thiry evolved a system of his own which was first put into oper- ation in Third ward school in Long Island City in the spring of 1885.
 Thiry had his system in perfect or der before he put it into operation. Then he went to the bankers of New York and showed them what an op- pCrtunity they had of making friends with thousands of futur. depositors. The bankers got behind Thiry and the following year the school savings bank was installed in eight other schools in Long Island City, in one of lslip, in four at Elmira and in six at Rutland, Vt. His. system is preserved almost intact iii most of the school savings banks in the United States to- day. In 1887 Thiry started other school banks at Hornellsville, James, town and Buffalo and in the New York City Y. M. c. A. .. In 1889 he started another bank in a school at Asheville, N c.

STUDENT LABOR FUND,
Barely Sufficient to Pay Those Now
 Employed ,ats Varsity. :. 5>,

1: The legislature of 1913 appropriated !$1 5,OO0 to pay for student labor. at the state university. The balance at present remaining in this fund is barely sufficient to pay until the end of the year the students who are now employed. ,>~, .43
 The records show that 2s6 boys aud girls. have participated in his fund since: the beginning of the biennial period.' These 7 boys .and' girls live in fifty different counties of the state. Many of them would not have been able to come to the university if it had not been for this student kbor fund.-
 By means of this fund, students have been employed to do all the jani- tor service of all the buildings and almost all of the work that has been done in kepeing the campus clean They have also done such work as typewriting, stenography, messenger service, library work, work in the la boratcries, repair work, painting, shoveling coal, firing boilers, sweep ing, clerical work, mailing out publi- cations, etc.
 The present legislature is being ask cd to appropriate $20,000 for student labor. During the present biennial period, the university had many appli- cations for work from students whom it was not able to accommodate The work was there but the money was lacking. Within the next biennial period, the demand for work will great ly increase if for no other reason than that the number of students is rapidly increasing.

MAY WHEAT GOES
 ID SI.67, [)ROPS 5
Offers of Seaboard to Resell Wheat in Chicago Causes
 Stampede.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Wheat advanced swiftly today to new high record war prices. It only took a brief time for the May option to reach $1.661h, d jump of ? 3Sc, compared with last night. The previous top notch quota tion was on February 3, which was S1,66. Most of the trading today, however, was in the July delivery in which the upturn was not quite so radical
 somethilt like stampede result cd after the market had climbed 10 $1.67 fer May. Seaboard offers to resell wheat in Chicago surprised the bulls and there was also an element of depression in the fact that corn, which to a large extent may be sub stItuted for wheat, was keeping pace upward with the more expensive cereal. The result was 8 sudden drop Of more than 3 cents from the top figures attained by wheat.
 Breaks in prices continued until 4 1-2c had been ripped away from the uppermost earlier values. It was said the German notice of a danger zone clear around Great Britain was nav ing a serious effect on ocean traffic conditions and that offers were being made to reIot eaStbound vessel room, both from along the Atlantic seaboard and from the Gulf of Mex, co.
 Closing prices were extremely nervous at range varying from 1-2 off to 1-2 up, compared with last night. ; ..,.,...
 Corn suffered from good deal. Of speculative selling pressure. The influence of wheat stren n gth was: Of a. rather spasmodic chara actsr Opening prices, which ..ri;sia ;yed from .f-Sm T4c off to a shade advance, were followed by series Of nervous changes, eboth sides of last night level! s.
 Many. resting orders to- purchase corn were encountered when declines amounted to 1c, but weakness con> tinued almost. up to the close. The finish was nervous at 1@1 1-Sc to lie under last night.
 ; Oats followed wheat rather than corn, selling Of cats was scattered and mainly by longs. s-ss;.
 Big receipts of hogs depressed pro, visions. The market, however, de- veloped good power to rally.
 Subsequently weakness in the corn market was effective as a means Of bringing about decided setback in wheat Seaboard offers to resell wheat to the West tended also tA dis ceuraga the bulls and so. too, did re- ports of vessel room unfillod bec2 use Of Germany's notice of marine war dangers on all sides Of Great Britain. The close was unsettled at 1ac lower. to 1ac advance, compared with last night.
