before the children of Kenosha the
necessity of thrift and the school banks
will be operated in conjunction with
the four banks of the city. Under the
plan absolute security will be pledged
to the savings of the children It is
expected that thousands of dollars will
be laid up in these banks during the
first year. There will be no par
TALLY shown in the operation of the
system and as near as possible the
benefits of it will be extended to every
school child. The city will have no
expenditures in connection with the
maintenance of the system in the
schools as the entire cost of it will be
paid by the institutions directly in
terested as a contribution to the great
movement to induce people to be
thrifty and TO educate the children
into habits of saving. Of course the
children will receive the full savings
deposit interest ION all of their de-
posits. The plan is expected to prove
most popular with the children and
OF great value in teaching thrift in the
homes Of. Kenosha.
