into the work accomplished. as de-
tailed in the report. will show how
successful the thrift campaign has
been.
Pupils were taught to conserve
pencils. pens. paper. books, articles OF
clothing. They were taught how 70
care for their clothing, and were in
structed as to the value Of articles
purchased. and told how ~ be judi
cious in selecting the articles pos
sessing the most merit. The young
people were encouraged to have some
definite tasks to perform each day.
and to do many things which would
bring in a revenue. however small.
During the school year IL WAS as
certained that out OF 42S school chill
dren enrolled in the three upper
grades investigated. 1871 had steady
employment during the summer OF
1917, 102 had spent the summer Wis
iting, while the remainder had help
ed with home duties. The combined
42S pupils earned during the vaca-
ton the sum of s6S46.s$. The say.
ings OF the children in the three up
per grades of the schools amounted
TO s14,3S2.O6.
An investigation made into the
money spent by these pupils for can
dy, chewing gum. movies and SINH
lar things showed that a total OF
s109.49 was spent in this manner,
making an expenditure of more than
one dollar per month per capita. By
the teaching Of thrift and economy
in the schools. this sum has been re-
duced almost to a minimum. and the
money thus saved has been used to
purchase thrift stamps.
The report contains a detailed ac-
count OF the war work as carried on in
the schools during the year. and as a
result a nice sum of money was Sc
cured in various ways for the Red
Cross and other war work, and a
number of useful articles were made
by the school children.
Early in the fall the schools were
organized into Junior Red Cross au-
xiliaries, the schools being among
the first to respond to the call Of the
National Red Cross for such organi-
cations. As result. 2046 children
were enrolled in the Junior Red Cross
