HIGH SCHOOL To ESTABLISH
BANK; PHOENIX MAY FOLLOW

u lesson in thrift to the entire student
body; it would get us in closer touch
with the business men of the city, and
most important Of all, 1t seems to me,
1t would be one means Of helping to
make the coming generation one Of
savers rather than one Of spenders
i do not believe that students should
he taught saving TO the point Of PEN
uriousness but 1 do believe that they
should be taught to spend their money
Wisely-gct a dollars worth of prop
perty, service or pleasure for every
one hundred cents they spend.
Young people in high school should
he taught that before very long they
are gong TO need money in a lump
sum. Perhaps to enter business, per-
hans to build home or perhaps TO
pay their way through college
students should be taught that even
small sum saved regularly in a few
years amounts TO considera BILE
amount.
The plan | have thought Of is this:
Have a corporation organized; let the
stockholders elect their officers, fol-
! wing the same procedure as is fol-
lowed in the organization of a real
bank, having the president or attorney
Of the bank which is to act as deposit
ory )e present to give advice concern
II tie organization.
After the organization has been
contaminated and the bank is ready
for business have an assembly at which
the president Of the school bank and
some, or all, # the directors shall tell
OF the bank, its aims and purposes,
also have the president or attorney OF
the depository give d talk at this as
sembiy
1T is my belief that it VIII not be
/ long until the schools viii teach saving
/ and thrift part Of the regular work.
and tire savings bank idea that is now
advocated by some of the high schools
VIII be a potent factor in promoting
this idea "

cane sugar because It is not as good
as the cane. Beet sugar will puiyer-
lie in the hand while cane sugar will
cut through before pulverizing. Beet
sugar will not preserve fruit as all
housewives have discovered II they
did not know 1t beforehand.
One very big cause for the differ
ence in prices In airmont lies In the
fact that there is law called the
law OF futuring. All merchants who
are able, order goods early in March
before planted. In this way they can
get corn and other vegetables at u
certain price. In this way corn was
bought at SLIP 1-2. Those who did
not take advantage Of this price are
paying more now. Many grocers will
say. But surely you realize that II
l have paid more, l can't sell for the
same. This is true but the consumer
expects grocers to buy in large guam
titles in order to saye-both for him
self and for the buyer That may
not be exactly fair but it is the pub
lies attitude.
Since this series Of articles began the
grocers OF the city have pointed out
that many Of the wholesale prices quot
ed last Monday are widely different
from the ruling quotations of the whole
saIers from whom they buy. They
also say that they cannot do business
on a 20 pc recent. margin and make mon.
ey under Fairmont rent and other ex.
pense conditions, and that seems to be
a reasonable contention. Perhaps they
ought to have as much as thirty.three
and third per cent. AS for the whole.
