the schools, with the children as we'll
as with the leaders of educational
thought in America. AS a result,
The committee of State Superindend-
ents of Public Instruction, which has
just met in Washington, has decided
to urge every State Superintendent
and Commissioner of Education to
install thrift courses in every school
and at the same time provide for the
practice Of the principles taught by
offering means for sound investment.
School Thrift instruction.
The Committee declared:
1--WE believe that instruction in
economic principles and project prac-
tice in thrift are vitality needed in
the schools, and we urge the prompt
adoption of the new Thrift Education
in all State and local educational
systems of the United States"
In responding to these demands
from great national organizations,
the Savings Division will intensity
during 1921 its campaign to spread
broadcast the essential facts relative
to wise saving and spending and in
yestment and TIE continued develop
ment of new capital. The savings
securities to be offered have also
been shaped to meet these demands.
The 81 Treasury Savings Stamp and
the $25 Treasury Certificate, for ex-
ample, come as result of the work
carried on in the great industrial
plants of the country. This cam
paign demonstrated that workers like
81 unit for saving and that they
are seeking an investment security
of the S25 denomination. For similar
reasons, The 25-cent Thrift Stamp
and the SIS Savings Stamp, which have
obtained a strong foothold in the
schools of .he Nation, will be con-
tinued during 1921 in order that every
American youth may have the oppor-
tunity of becoming an active partner
in The great business of his national
Government. This should go far to
develop wise financial habits and
practical patriotism throughout the
Nation. The 1921 Savings Stamp of
SIS maturity value will be larger in
size than the 1920 issue, will be
orange in color, and will bear the
portrait of Lincoln. The 25-cent
Thrift Stamp will be unchanged.
Liberty Bond Investing.
The Savings Division will also
continue to devote its best efforts
during the coming year to develop
ing the secondary market for Liberty
bonds and Victory notes. At current
market prices Liberty bonds offer
unique opportunity to investors,
large and small, and are being widely
absorbed for investment. Many en-
ployers, banks and other agencies
throughout the United States are re-
establishing partial payment plans
in order to provide facilities for in
stallment purchase at prevailing
prices. At the same time. great num-
bers Of the bonds are being purchased
outright by small investors as saw
ings become available With reduced
prices for commodities and lower
money rates, the market prices for
Government securities, like, the long
term Liberty bonds, are bound to
appreciate. Widespread purchases of
Liberty bonds for investment will
serve the best interests not only of
the country as whole but also of
investors themselves. One of 'he
browning achievements of the war
was the purchases of Liberty bonds
and Victory notes by more than
20,000,000 patriotic subscribers. Con-
sistant buying of Liberty bonds by
This great army Of investors at the
present attractive prices would be
to the lasting benefit of both them
selves and the nation
