The nation wide movement for
thrift among citizens of the United
States. to be started on December /.
has been forestalied in the public
schools of Richmond. and. beginning
with Monday OF next week, ain effort
will be made by sill of the principals
and teachers in the public schools to
urge pupils and parents of pupils to
start regular savings accounts. The
movement was officially inaugurated

bee. of Norfolk, the originator of tho

were the speakers.
The idea OF the movement for

habit of saving regular amounts each
week. and. when possible. to have

counts and calculate interest. Tho
money will be distributed among the
banks in the city and per cent in
terest will be paid the depositors. Pa
rents may deposit for the children
through the schools.
The teachers and principals OF the
schools will only supervise the school
banking system. Letters of explana-
ton will be given each pupil this week
with pass-books, which they may use
the following Monday for the entry
of their first deposit, or they may save
until they decide to start an account
Mr.. Ferebee explained his system
which he is trying to introduce in
every public school In the United
States. He told of the enormous in
crease in thrifty citizens as well as
educated citizens few years will
bring If only one-half of all of the
school children in the country en-
brace the system. For those who wish
to invest these savings In liberty
bonds the banks win purchase and
hold bonds in order that they may be
paid for in small installments.
DR.. Douglas S. Freeman prefaced
sir. -FeTehee's explanation OF the
school saving system with talk on
the prospects OF the length OF the war
and the falling off of subscriptions to
the second liberty loan. He said that
there is probably no hope that this
second loan would reach the mark
set; that the only surplus In the coan-i
try had been exhausted in the first
liberty loan, and the only recourse
Of the ether liberty loans that must
follow will be the savings of the
American people. He explained how,
