Thrift thoughts make thrift
acts. But thrift is the re-
suit Of right thinking of the
group. The community, the
county must be a thrifty
county, the state must be a
thrifty state.
While we thought "edu-
cation was the culture of the
few that education contribu-
ted little to thrift. This was
our old notion about educa-
tion---fne culture to a few
fine folks. Something pour
ed into the lap of luxury.
Something given" to some
one, and paid for by another.
The father used to say, Il
want to GIVE my son a bet
ter education than | have"
Such notions of education
rarely produced a thrifty son.
He wanted his dad" to give
his also a good bank account
along with the cultural edu-
cation. 1t was his "educa-
cationed" business to see by
of his great culture"
the beauties of everything,
and buy them with his faith
er'S money. The old idea of
education produced a big de-
sire for the good things of
life, but little or minus abili-
ty to win them by mental
and physical muscle. Thrift
is a natural thing the low
er animals have 1.-THE ant,
the bee, the squirrel. The
old education was an un-
natural thing---animals did
not take to it. Learning to
earn and earning were not
in it. Working and earning,
saving and thriving were
rather too common to have
a part in education"

In fact he almost HAD to
spend more than he could
produce if he lived up to his
educated desires. This was
not only NOT THRIFT, but
anti-thrift. More often in

of business and industry was
