THRIFT METERS
SPUR CHILDREN
Treasury's New School Plans
Foster Saving.

CHICAGO, Feb. Thrift meters are
being introduced into all the schools OF
the Seventh Federal Reserve district
comprising Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mich
fgan and Wisconsin by the savings divi-
sion OF the Treasury Department. Ac-
cOrding to reports received by the Chi
cago office the schools that have already
received them show a marked increase in
saving.
Under the new treasury plan each
teacher divides the class or room into
two teams. the girls taking the name of
Miss Columbia's team, the boys that OF
Uncle Sans team. Their progress Is re-
corded weekly on the thrift meter. which
registers up to $50 for each team. The
goal for each pupil usually Is one or
more thrift stamps a week.
Superintendents and principals have
instructed teachers to enter into the spirit
Of thrift instruction and push it in a
manner that will establish among the
children habits Of thrift in time, money
and materials.
Among the first reports is that Of a
Chicago high school for the first fifteen
days. The pupils invested S1,794.25 in
Thrift and Savings stamps, as against
SOB for all of last year.
In schools where the treasuFy's plan
was introduced alongside Of existing saw
ings plans all savings activities benefited
by the additional impetus.
The Treasury Department is endeavor-
ing to approach the savings question
from the childs point of view. During
the war patriotism provided a vital in
centive to save: that ideal is now re-
placed by the child's desire to save for
a success fund" which he may accumu-
late by the time he wants to go to col
Iege, go into business, etc.
