KENTUCKY SCHOOLS ON
FVE-YEAR THRIFT PLAN
few Course Of Study to Make Men
and Women of Future More
Prosperous.

Educational authorities in Kentucky
have officially gone on record as favor
ing the Thrift campaign promulgated
by the Treasury department Of the
United States, and the new course of
study for the Blue Grass State, that
Is Just from the press, and which has
been adopted for the next fee years.
has q full course Of study on Thrift,
and the teachers are instructed that
this must be used as a regular in.
struction for their pupils.
State Superintendent of Instruction
v. o. Gilbert has issued a special
letter to the IL. 900 Kentucky teachers
under his charge, and has impressed
on them the importance Of giving spe-
cial attention to this branch of edu.
cation. which he says is of prominent
Importance.
He points out the fact that in the
days gone by, before the World War
opened the eyes of all nations to the
absolute necessity Of Thrift and Saw
ing, that Waste was the rule, and that
America was justly classed as the
most wasteful of all the nations.
He urges that by beginning with the
pupils of the lower grades, and con
tinuing the study through FIVE con
secutive years, probably more good
will result to all the people than from
the same amount Of study given to
any other branch of education.
Those who are now in the grades
in the public schools in n decade will
be the young men apd women OF af-
fairs in the business and social world,
and the ideas of Thrift and Saving In.
culcated nov will bear fruit for many
years to ome
And again, in a more practical way,
The quarters that are now being invest
ed in Thrift Stamps will have grown
into War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury savings Certificates. and these
will have matured, and with the AIT
per cent interest these baby bonds"
will have been cashed and invested
IN some other line OF endeavor, and
will help to start the n in business
who began saving in a modest way.
Kentucky is preparing to wage re-
'entless war on the Waste evil, and
he school is to be used as one of the
most effective weapons.

room owned 20 Thrift Stamps. How
much money had the pupils spent alto

Jack has the best record. BY sell
ing papers he had saved enough money
to buy two War Savings Stamps and
IL Thrift Stamps. How much money
had he loaned to the government II
he paid s4.14 each for the War Savings

Fifth grade War Savings Societies
keep track Of the total savings OF

two thermometers sketched upon the
blackboard. One represents the "a

Each dollar saved by the members is
shown by raising an indicator one de-

Of st. Louis, Is not like that which
the older brothers and sisters of the
pupils Of today studied, says the Post
Dispatch. The habit Of thrift Is being
encouraged along lines suggested by
the Savings Division Of the United
States Treasury Department.
No longer is the child in the first
or second grade asked to solve the
problem Of how many marbles A has

cause II is much more comfortable to
gather food in summer and to remain

Continuing about the squirrel, the
teacher compares its wisdom to that
Of the rabbit, which never stores away
anything, must hunt for food all win
ter long, no matter how deep the snow
may be, and sometimes starves to
death for want Of something to eat.
The conclusions drawn are that the
| squirrel Is very much wiser than the
rabbit because he saves food for the
coming winter, as squirrels save nuts
for winter so children can save little
things for times when they will need
them-papers, chalk, pencils and pen.
uies-and last, but not least, that boys
and girls can save their pennies by
buying Thrift Stamps.
