Save and Succeed

OdNG diiu ouSCccu
 (By Florence Miner in Normal In
 structor for October, 1919)
 Not so very long ago extravaganza was held to be a mark of financial superiority; economy, something to conceal and to practice, if at all, in secret, like prayer. Those who could not afford to spend lavishly pinched where it would not be seen in order to Haunt a semblance of wealth in the public eye. The very word thrift was a synonym for stinginess. The tremendous experiences of the last four years have changed all this. Ex- travagance now Is vulgar; waste is wickedness.
 A new obligation is here placed on the schools. In the training for eff cient citizenship-thatn now means the girls as we'll as the boys-lessons in thrift, in economy, in conservation in every rection-money, time, food, material, health, energy, spiritual power, and moral force become of the utmost importance.
 We can no longer treat the matter in haphazard manner, neither can training in thrift be left entirely to the

A report has been sent to MT. Hen dersOn, commissioner of education, of the amount saved by the pupils of the Cordova school in war savings stamps, Liberty bonds and savings deposits. A similar report will be sent from all Alaska schools, so as to keep track of how saving the pupils in the schools are.

Several things impress the

of the Institution. 1t is so much
larger than they thought it

The cleanliness and orderli-

The character of the workers.

sees the amount Of work re-

he usually wonders how it is

Making a clock has been split

On most work, a new operator
is paid by the hour, until her
skill enables her to earn more
money by piece work. When
she gets on piece work, her
earnings depend upon her skill.
Some of the work is fasci-
mating to watch. The girls work
with both hands, and their fin
gers become quite as nimble as
those of a pianist or a typist.
The operator in a factory has
this advantage, she earns while
she learns. She pays out moth

Daylight saving will become deader
than doornail on the last Sunday IN
October. President Wilson twice We
toed the repeal of the law and con-
gress repassed the repeal bill over
the presidents veto by more than
two-thirds vote in both houses. It
looks as though there was good deal
Of politics in the issue. Organized
labor and wage earners quite gener-
ally liked the law because it gave
them an extra hour of daylight for
recreation. Farmers quite generally
opposed the daylight saving time. The
president took his chances with or
ganized labor and congress answered
the demands of the agriculture Sec
tions. In theory, at least, there was
much to be said for the new time
from an economic standpoint, but the
arguments were outweighed by the
disadvantages which it caused farm
ers and the fact that the change of
time inconvenience many people.
Most European countries set the clock
ahead an hour in the summer but the
u. S. will probably stay by the stan
dard time for a great many years to
come unless organized labor succeeds
in bringing enough pressure to put
it over.

POSTER VS.. NEWSPAPER.

'It costs cents to put up poster
anywhere, whether you put it up or
whether you pay someone to put it
up. The government last year, In
advertising the Fourth Liberty Loan,
spent either in money or donated la
Dor 100000 to put up Liberty Loan
posters. If they had taken that $780,
900 and spent it in the newspapers Of
the United States it would have done
the Fourth Liberty Loan and the
United States itself great deal more
good.

ing, and certainly am. | believe
that page space in newspaper has
more influence upon its readers than
even the editorial does. An adver-
tisement signed by reputable house
carries more conviction to the mind
of the reader for the simple reason
that he or she reasons that if you
did not believe in it. you would not
pay your good money to tell your
story to the people. w. D. Nesbit.

Mounted NeWsboys.

Monteyideo, the capital OF the
Uruguayan republic, has 3OO,O 900 in
habitants and spreads over a very
extensive territory. The Uruguay
ans, like other people, want their
evening paper as soon as possible
after it comes from the press.
Newsboys on horseback supply this
demand with astonishing rapidity.
La Razon, one of the leading even
ing journals, is issued at 5 o'clock.
About twenty minutes before that
hour the newsbOys-mOstly young
men from eighteen to twenty-five
years of age-gather in the street
in front Of the newspaper office.
When the papers are brought out
a clerk hands a bundle to each,
and away he starts at a full gal
lOp. All the business in the center
Of the town is done by ordinary

urbs, shouting with all their might:

A customer who wishes to buy a
paper steps to the curb and holds
out his arm. The horse knows the
signal and pulls up so short that
il is a wonder the rider is not
catapulted over his head.
So efficient is this system OF
equestrian newsboys that dweIler
in the outskirts of MontevideO gets
his evening paper almost as soon
as the man who lives in the very
