DR. s. o. Laughlin. Augusta, Ky,
who fathered the bill requiring the
teaching Of Thrift in the Kentucky
schools is a pioneer in advocating the
teaching Of this subject in the pub

Even before the government es-

in the public schools Of Augusta.
where he was a member Of the school
board. When he was elected to the
legislature. among his first acts was
one introducing the Thrift Bill.
In advocating the passage Of the
bill. DR.. Laughlin gave an example
OF what such law would do for the
children by showing what had been
done in the public schools Of Angus
IA. He closed his argument by the
statement that il would be the means
Of making many prosperous and tax
paying citizens
A senator who voted on the bill
