hest perhaps, Is to add to given

THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS.
What One Boston School Is Doing

Since Jan. 1 the pupils Of the Quincy
School in Boston, Frederick w. Swan.
master, have invested about $1700 In
Thrift and War Savings Stamps, aver
aging about 81 per capita. In itself,
this may not seem great deal, but
the fact becomes significant when It
Is known that probably not one Of
the pupils Is of American parentage.
Some 20 odd nationAltties are repre-
sented in the school, and one whole
class of non-Engiish speaking pupils
is made up of Chinese. All are whole
heartedly for America. and most Of
them work for the money they put in
to stamps, both as an investment and
as a patriotic duty to the country that
stands vividly in their minds as the
land of justice and opportunity.
