MAKE BIG SAVERS OUT
OF LITTLE SHAvERSr
Greatest Education in the World is
Teaching Children How to Be
Independent.

Earn first. save second and spend
third.
That is the briefest and best rule of
economy the world knows. And every
country in h world knows the rule
better thar America does. Al the out
set of the world war we were the most
~extravagant nation in existence. IL
the world war brought no other good
end, 1t showed America the value Of
thrift. From the least thrifty to the
most thrifty should be the American
ambition, beginning right now. And
there is no better place to begin with
thrift than with children.
Since the war furnished the realiz-
alton of the need of thrift, and the
Treasury Department, through War
Savings Stamps, furnished the method
of combined saving and investment,
it is up to the parents and the teachers
of this country to- see that the children
take advantage of these opportunities.
Through the Savings Division OF the
Tenth Federal Reserve District every
child in this district is enabled to OBJ
tain a war souvenir in the form OF a
hand grenade converted into a savings
bank. In order to get the grenade he
had only to observe the above rule
earn first, save second and seend third.
1t is a simple rule and, II observed,
will revolutionize American habits. 1t
will change us from a nation of spend
thrifts to one of thrifts: from dollar
hounds to dime watch-dogs; from
waste to worth.
The new slogan of the Tenth Dis
trict is Make Big Savers Out of Lit
tie Shavers.'"

3-The grenade shown here is to
be used as a savings bank for money
earned during vacation, and may be
brought periodically to the bank that
issues it, where it will be opened, the
money counted, and Thrift or Wa
Savings Stamps given in return "a
the contents.
1.-The grenade is to become the
permanent property of the child only
after he has been regularly enrolled
as a member of a savings society and
has bought at least one War Savings
Stamp, face value $500, at the bank
issuing the grenade. Child must buy
One Wal Savings Stamp If under ten
years old, and Two If ten years or
older.
5-The bank is to fill out and give
the child (if a school child) a certifi.
cate of his summer savings in order
that he may present same to his teach.
er and get credit therefor in the War
Savings Society now or hereafter
organized in his grade.
6-While it is optional with the
banker, it is suggested that he re-
quest contestant to write a letter or
essay on how the grenade bank was
won. A few of these letters might
furnish the thrift impulse to many
other children of the county.

And His Address At The Union
Service Sunday Night At The
auditorium Draws Forth
Approving Comment

On Friday morning after inspecting
the various classes, DR.. Lockwood
from the University of Arizona, favor
ed the student body with a talk, which
was both beneficial and educational
This topic was Habit, a subject of
vital Importance to young people, who
are now forming life habits. He illus
trated his subject by many amusing
and interesting stories, which al
though intended to tighten the SER
ious vein of the talk, made a good
impression on the minds of ALL
That DR.. Lockwods talk was .ap-
preciated was shown by the round of
applause which followed the address.
The school hopes to again have the
pleasure of listening to DR.. Lockwood
in the near future.

UNION SERVICE

The people of Clifton enjoyed a rare
treat in the union service held at the
Auditorium Sunday evening. Follow
ing the Glori Patri and the invocation,
the Presbyterian choir effectively
rendered an anthem after which Su-
perintendent Baker announced the
speaker of the evening, Doctor Lock
wood, head of the Extension Depart
ment of the University of Arizona.
The subject was Education and
Democracy one of genera inter-
est and fully developed by Dr. Lock
wood. He defined Education as COM
ing from the Latin ''educo" meaning,
''to lead out He showed how educa-
ton did lead one out into the broad
er fields.
DR.. Lockwood pointed out five diff
ferent ways of attaining education.
The ways are, through books, friends,
and associations. by experience, emo
tions and through schools. Space does
not permit of a detailed discussion of
these five ways but the phase on edu-
cation through friends and associates
was especially interesting
In the second phase of his subject,
Democracy, DR.. Lockwood quoted
some excellent defin .tions OF the TEN
from noted men and gave an extensive
explanation of each In all of these
the idea seemed to be that Demo
cracy is the rule of the people
DIR. Lockwood pointed out that the
success of Democracy depended upon
the education of these rulers. It is
the uneducated mass of people who
are supporting Bolshevism, strikes
md other labor disturbances. The
majority of the people of the United
States can hardly be called educated
Statistics which are compiled by
ne Department Of the Interior, show
tha. a large percentage of Americans
can neither read n vrite j-e Englis'
language. Only one out of every
hundred Americans graduate from col

from High School and only twenty
