The award provides that overtime

London, April Several London
schools have introduced new system
Of writing known as manuscript" or
print" writing, which replaces the for.
mer vertical or Spencerian systems. In
the new system, the children initiate
the form of printed characters, and il is
claimed that the task of learning to
write legibly is greatly shortened and
simplified by the leaving out of the I'M
necessary connecting up-strokes.
The new system was first introduced
in military establishments for GONZALES
cent soldiers, originating in the desire to
find method of writing which could be
quickly learned by soldiers who had lost
the use of their right hand. Its advo-
Gates claim that the print" writing is
easy to learn, neat, legible and speedy
and that it removes the great dsad.

which the child has to contend in learn

How One Bank Helps on War Savings.

! The figures Of the thrift campaign for
( the sale of war savings stamps show
! that the people of Massachusetts have
not vet taken hold of this enterprise
with so much enthusiasm a. the citi-
zens of certain other states. This is not
due to any fault of the Bay state di-
rector, Mr.. Robert +. Herriek, nor to
the organization which has been built
mp TO bring this duty TO the attention
of all the people. Before he gets through
we are entirely confident that he will
produce results.
The government asks each person to
subscribe for $40 of savings certificates
during the current year. This means a
saving equal TO only two postage stamps
a day. With the. usual habit of procras-
iination, the individual often thinks he
will wait until he has $40 saved up, and
then lend this amount to the govern
meni, whereas if he attended to il each
day or each week the amount would
grow gradually without any special eff
fort on his part.
The American Trust company of this
city, with it, characteristic slertness,
has organized its employees with the
idea that by encouraging rivalry among
pass. One of the speakers from the
thrift savings stamps committee adj
dressed them one afternoon short time
ago explaining the situation.
As a result of this talk fourteen teams
have been formed. composed Of eight per-
sons each, and they are now in active
competition to produce results. The wom-
en- employed by the company have one
team of their own. This shows how
one organization by systematic effort,
expects to produce results. Other con-
Germs may evolve conceivably better
plans, but this is surely worth trying.
Massachusetts, which has furnished so
many men and provided the army and
navy with 50 much in the shape of
supplies. should lead the country in the
per capita contribution to this work
When the people Of this state are fully
reused to the situation, We feel sure

sires to raise in this Way by the end Of
