 ROsPERITY
THE LATEST THING IN SCHOOLS

IA new school with all the things traditionally objectional to little ones cut out-this is the latest Rockefeller idea.
 It s jus. by chance that this"sug- gested plan of the General Education board appeals to the boys and girls, for the prime purpose is to create a new school course which will bring the youngster into state dit for busi- ness life two or three years earlier than under the present system
 Dr. Abraham Flexner, proponent of the idea, would abolish grammar. al- most most of school mathematics, unless historical facts and obsolete and uncongenial classics, meaning by the last Latin and Greek.
 For these he would substitute actual activities in science. industry, esthetics and civics, with the stress on science. Living languages would be included, however.
 The children would begin work by getting acquainted with trees plants. animals, Mills. streams and rocks and they would learn to care for animals and plants, and so on through various stages until they were taught the use of the camera, the wireless telegraph and the firelesy cooker.
 If the doctor would now only add the socialist plant of letting the pupils do and say just about as they please in the classroom, and never punish them for anything. he would have an idsal school-from the viewpoint of the average schoolboy.

 Second. Never overdraw. In na- tional banks overdrafts are now for bidden. but whether they were or not, you have no right to ask it. It hurts your credit with the banker. It is a forced loan without security, and is a poor business practice.
 Sometimes an OVerdraft is allowed as matter of accommodation, and sometimes in order that the credit of the drawer with the holder of the check may not be impaired; but it is bad practice. gets you in wrong all over and should neither be asked nor expected. i9sl
 Third. Do not draw against "Un- collected funds By uncollected funds is meant checks that have not been collected. For instance. if you have balance of $1C0, and deposit a hundred dollar check and draw your own check for $15O, you have taken all the original deposit and half of tho amount represented by the check just deposited. The banker must send that check, let us say to New York, and wait for advice that it is paid be- fore knowing that it has been paid which may take three or four days You are asking him to pay out his money three days in advance or its receipt, a practice which good banks frown upon and will not allow. Last ly, draw your checks properly, as out lined in the next talk, and have your pass book balanced once month Doing these things consistently. your banker will be good friend and you will be good customer, in favor with one who can do you many favors.
