The school bank has become a very
considerable factor in the training Of
children in Little Rock. A central
bank is maintained at the office of the
superintendent, with branches in each
school. The system has been in vogue
several years, and is doing much to
promote thrift and economy as well as
to teach business principles. The
banker is maintained by the school
board and the various banks, which
contribute toward the fund as a part
of the Thrift Campaign which is ex-
pected to add greatly to the bank de-
posits of the future when the present
generation arrives at the age Of busi-
ness sense and responsibility.
There is more that $1,000 on deposit
in the school banks of Little Rock.
The accounts range all the way from a
few cents, to more than $100 The
children are taught how to make de.
posits and draw checks, compute inter
est, and do other business in connec-
! tiOn with banking. This entails tre-
mendous amount of work on the part
of the banker. Drafts and checks are
drawn for from a few cents to several
dollars Interest is paid the deposit
ors, and this must be calculated to a
nicely on account of the small sums
involved
