Supt. Thurston Sees Valuable Les

the Movement.

That great good in the teaching of
thrift throughout Washington by the
collection of old newspapers by chill

out in a letter which Ernest L. Thurs

written to Secretary Redfield of the
Department of Commerce The letter
is in answer to one sent by the Secre-
tary to Mr.. Thurston. in which the cam
paign of the schools is praised
Supt Thurston's letter follows IN
part:
II appreciate most heartily your very
kind note of November 81. 1916, rela-
tive to the paper-saving campaign no"
in action in our Washington schoois.
We have tried in previous years to
raise the money for special uses in this
way at certain individual buildings, but
this is the first city-wide attempt along
the same line This year The Evening
Star newspaper suggested the matte!
and offered to handle the business end
and give publicity, If we would use the
machinery of the schools to make
real effort to help meet the paper

that many parents are as muen inter

twelve hundred dollars s1,2oo) was
realized. yet l consider the money re,
turn only a small part Of the actual
good which the movement is accom-
plishing.
THE meeting of a public need by con
certed action and the showing OF the
value of saving something commonly
thrown away are two things we'll worth
bringing to the attention Of the pupils
/ am trying to work out definite plan
for the teaching Of thrift, not perhaps
as a special course in the schools. but
as a part of a number of subjects we
now teach.
Il am very glad. indeed, to have my
attention called to the publication OF
YOUR department entitled Saving OF
