SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS AND
THRIFT,

The old problem which was origina ted
first the hen or the egg, is now being
duplicated in connection with the dis
cusson of the question whether thrift
created the savings institutions or
whether the savings institutions created
thrift
The real answer to this question de-
ponds wholly upon the point Of view
We arc told that when Germany levied
the vast indemnity of 81, 900 100000 upon
Franco at the conclusion of the war in
1871 with the idea that she had weakened
her ancient enemy for all time or al
least long time to come, the French
peasants went to their safety deposit
stockings and drew out enough money
to help discharge this war obligation so
speedily that it staggered Bismarck and
lesser German lights
Possibly some parent savings insttu-
ton was responsible for the thrift that
led the custom Of peasant saving in
France to become general So far as
many Of the individual savers were
concerned. however they would not have
recognized a savings bank If they saw
one.
n We turn to the experiences of mil
lions of people in the United States
to-day, however, we shall unquestionably
discover that they We're led to acquire
he nah r,f win hy bo ina Of
savings institutions. although tho habit
of saving antedated the establishing Of
the first savings bank in this country
century ago. When man woman
or child has once deposited sum of
money in a savings bank and watched
it grow through the accumulation Of ts
own earnings in the shape of interest
and additional deposits, the fascination
and the growing sense of security in the
possession Of tidy sum laid by for
rainy day. for lack Of employment or
sickness or other reasons for extra OK
penditurcs tina are sure to come to us
tend TO fix the habit of saving and make
it irresistible.
The thrift Of the people of Vermont
has become proverhial the country over.
The dissemination Of this idea is due
in part TO the fact that sons and dauGh-
tiers Of Vermont have carried this thrift
to every State i'm the Union, and in part
to the fact that Vermont savings, the
result OF this thrift, are loaned in all
parts of the United States, constituting
an ever-present witness furnishing ndis-
putable evidence Of its existence. The
people OF Vermont hold the foremost
rank among the States as regards the
deposits they have in our excellent and
thoroughly sound and safe savings inst-
tutions
The savings banks have come to he
recognized among the most helpful
OF our semi-pubic institutions, having
contributed to the prosperity and up
building Of every state in this country.
