PARENTS SHOULD TEACH chill.
DREN TO SAVE

The good news that the government
loan organization, in cooperation with
the educational authorities of New
York and New Jersey, have decided
to enlarge the scope of the savings
educational work in the schools of this
district should meet with the approval
IF every parent of this community.
The fact that this movement has the
hearty endorsement and cooperation
af the eiu at;onal authorities indi-
Gates ths Il VIII meet with success.
and that a. {. en1 of this school term
every boy and girl attending school in
this { sue. WI have been started on
the re I'd : save and to accumulate an
Individual Success Fund" for their
future. The new plan has many feat
u IS to recommend it and to assure
its success.
The success that marked the saw
ings work in the schools of this dis
trict in the last few terms has
prompted the sponsors of this move
ment to name the proposed school
savings plan Success Fund" To
our mind no name is more appropriate
for this plan, for there is hardly
parent who is not interested in the
future success of his boy or girl.
A noted finaneier once said that the
financial foundation of persons
future success should be laid in his
youth. With the development of
modern conditions the necessity for
laying q financial foundation early
n life becomes more imperative; for
40 matter how much academic knowl-
edge q person may possess, he always
requires a little reserve fund for a
start in life.
The accumulation Of success
uBd' started early II Ifs rives the
youth an Inspiration which leads to
IN Ildeper dei.t future, no mat tier what
line of endeavor he or she may follow.
1t not only determines the future sue
,ess, but it also builds character. 1t
is astonishing to find how quickly even
a small saving made regularly will
mount up with the accrued interest to
a respectable sum.
The person who starts little saw
ings fund and stores away either
weekly or monthly no matter how
small a sum, is building stone wall
against want and suffering Thrift
tn3 Savings Stamps issued by the
United States Government, which are
IN sale at banks and post Offices,
present an unequaled opportunity to
3eople with small means to investl
glall sums alta good rate of interest
with perfect security, and children
should be taught to save and invest
in these "Baby Bonds" issued by Uncle
Sam.
1t is the duty of every parent to
;,,e+ y,os
sible misfortune and anxiety. A good
many people who are today public
charges would have been saved that
humiliation if, while still children,
they had had the habit of saving and
economy implanted in their impress
sionable minds. 1t, therefore, be-
comes a personal Success Fund" for
a start in life. Parents should not
only teach their children to sage their
nickels, dimes and dollars, but to also
be industrious and to practice econ
omy and self-control. All of these
qualities serve to make them contented
citizens and pave the way to- their
future independence when they grow
up.
Approaching this national need The
government, by launching the Sue
cess Fund idea, has taken wise meas
ures il providing the machinery which
viii aid in the most practicable way
The future of our young citizens. This
plan will be carried out through The
entire school system Of the Second
Federal Reserve District with the as
sistance of the educational authori-
ties.
Parents of this district should help
make the Success Fund" in the school
system phenomenal success.
