q CAMPAIGN for thrift IS being waged by tbs
a American Society for Thrift, of which S. W
= . St1aus is president. According to an address
delivered by MI Straus before the National Education
association in New York July l. the society stands for
The Greater Thrift" which, at first glance means next
10 nothing but on second thought means great deal
Thrift, as usually understood means saving money
and putting It IN the bank Greater thrift means saw
ing not only money but also time, health and strength
the conservation Of all ones mental material and ply
steal resources
M Straus told his audience that saving money IS
one of the foundation stones in the building Of thrifty
character but II the total Of thrt than
one stone Is the sum total Of the foundation Of great
house man may be a money saver and yet Il he dis
sipates or is immoral he is not thrifty. man may
save money yet if he works 10 hours day TO the detrl
rnent of his health, he is not thrifty
miser is an undesirable citizen and Nj Straus aDo
his society realize that fact keeny anyone else
The advocates of thrift advocate the Judlcous spend
ing as well as the judieous saving Of money. That IS
TO say the who makes $500 year and saves $780,
spending the other half, Is thrifty The same man
making $4,000 year. saving $4,000 and spending 5000
may also thrifty assuming the $4,000 IS wisely spent
But the man who makes $4,000 and spends but the
$500 year which he spent when he was making $500
q year, is not thrifty. He is miser.
True thrift consists In making money and saving
some and spending the remainder IN ways beneficial TO
ones family, self and the community.
