Company is Thrift and conser S
by Arthur Henry Chamberlain and
James Franklin Chamberlain. That
there may be universal understanding
Of what thrift is-personal, community
and national-the subject must be
taught in the schools. The Commit
tee on Thrift Education Of the Nation
al Council of Education has been stu
dying the best methods OF accomplish
Ing this. and it's chairman. Arthur
Henry Cham berlain. now offers this
authoritative guide to the educa-
tional world. IT Is hoped that the
study Of the book by members OF study
and reading circles will be the means
OF bringing to the children of the ma
ton the lesson OF thrift and the right
eousness and dignity OF saving and
economy as opposed to waste and ex-
travagance. The subject Is one OF ur-
gent import: the enormous wastage
of the war will render necessary for
serva ton and utilization OF every ma
terial resource. Thoughtful people
recognize that there can be no safety
anywhere in the world as long AS
great masses OF humanity are in dire
need. Among the chapter subjects are
thrift and the national life, true and
false economy. waste. food, dress, time,
human resources, increasing the food
supply. conserving the soil. the value
Of forests, our mineral fuels. national
health. use and misuse Of money and
the use OF public property: with sub
divisions OF important subjects. This
is not only an authoritative guide Ito
the teaching of individual and nation
al thrift. but book which will appeal
through Its inherent interest and the
skill with which the subject Is pre-
scented. IT is earnestly commended to
tho educational world.
