BILLIONS FROM THE NICKELS
Ever Stop to Think Of Vast Sums That
Can Be Saved From Small
Amounts2

IF every person in the United States
saved nickel in one day 1t would
mean that at night the people would
be just Ave million dollars richer. And
then suppose the people kept this up
for one month? 1t would mean that
at the end Of thirty days they would
have saved one hundred and fifty mil.
lion dollars.
Why not keep II up for the rest OF
1919? What would be the result? One
billion five hundred million dollars
Sounds like lot of work for one little
nickel to do, doesn't it, yet there are
scores Of industries in the United
States which are oaying big dividends
on the little nickels gathered day by
day.
This immense sum IL invested In
War Savings Stamps would earn for
the savers approximately sixty-four
million dollars in 1920-the work OF
"old man interest" who never takes
a day off and who is continuously on
the job.

Scope and Purpose of Great
U. S. Educational Move
ment for Saving.
BY DIR. SMALLER MATHEWS.

IChairman of w. S. s. Educational
r. Committee for Seventh District and
Vice Director for Illinois,
Thrift will be taught in the schools
OF the states constituting the Seventh
federal reserve district.
The children of Iowa will help pre-
pare the Little Lessons in Thrift which
are being written by Prof. Macy Camp
bell of the Iowa State Teachers col
lege, under the general direction of an
educational committee Of the district.
Besides the chairman the educational
committee consists of w. +. Larson.
department of public instruction, Wis
consin; J. V. McNally, Detroit public
schools, Michigan, and Macy Campbell.
Iowa State Teachers college.
The Little Lessons in Thrift appear
fortnightly on printed sheets. The les
sons are prepared for the different
grades in the schools. They are Illus
trated and interesting. They teach
savings as a phase of good citizenship,
give problems of arithmetic In terms of
thrift stamps, chewing gum, candy
and other things a child buys.
1t is new field which Is thus being
opened up and the war savings organ
ization is rendering a great service to
the rising generation. Nor Is 1t all
mere theory. The teaching of the prin-
ciples of thrift is combined with a sort
of manual training In thrift, through
Of Co In
schools.
Along with these Little Lessons In
Thrift the educational committee fur
nishes the schools with pupils thrift
cards, on which the teacher keeps an
account of the amount, however small,
which the pupil brings to her for the
purpose Of buying stamps. This prac-
tice itself becomes educational, be-
cause the pupil gets introduced to
simple bookkeeping and banking.
These plans have received the hear
tiest cooperation Of the school admin.
istration in the various states and
cities. The parochial and private
schools also are cooperating in the use
Of the material and plans prepared by
the committee.
The young men and women Of the
next generation will have higher re-
spect for thrift and better under
standing as to how to spend their
money, for they will learn even In the
primary grades that thrift Is not mlser.
Illness but a way Of spending money so
as to make II for them.
