The school instructors were also

Mahoney and Miss Robins replied, sug-
gesting many little ways in school and
at home by which the youth could form
habits of saving.
Father J. P. Carrigan then gave
patriotic talk to the children on the
war, on the work of the Red Cross, on
the possibilities before the children for
growing in this great work and aroused
them to a high pitch of enthusiasm
until every child present answered the
question, "Shall we join the Red

will!' The children then sang, for
