LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS

OF $225,000 upon which interest is be-
ing paid. But from these savings
many OF the lads, after their appren-
ticeship was served, completed courses
i'll universities, in engineering, archi-
lecture and mechanics. Because of
their thrift in putting by money they
were able to enlarge their opportuni-
tics many times over.
Out OF an estimated population of
1905, $4,000 in all countries having
savings banks, there are 132,50o, ia
depositors. This means a world av-
erage deposit account of $136.l9 and
an average per inhabitant of $l7.94.
Though the amount of deposits i'll the
United States is large, yet the number
of savers in proportion TO the popula
ton is about II per cent, which is 2
per cent less than that of the entire
world.
In survey made recently from the
reports based in part on the opinion
of the state comptrollers, rather than
solely on statistics, it is shown that
savings during the past year have in
creased in all communities, save the
South. The reports of banks show a
total increase of 100000 in savings
The greatest increase in the year was
in the New England group of states
which had a gain of $28.795,758. The
middle states, $16,998752; the East
ern states and Pacific states, more
than $S000,000; the Southern states,
81 900 ,314, and the Western states S.
