Scores of ambitious girls and boys in and about Norwich have become bank depesitors of late, either through their own school-roon1s Or in the. banking house of the Norwich Savings Society, Arthur H. Brewer president. This splendid habit of thrift is being fostered through the cooperation of teachers and bank officials and during the time that it has been tried-since January last. is working out in the most satis- factory manner
 The plan inaugurated by the bank calls for a stamp-seiEng machine, in which the child anxious to start bank account may begin with single penny.
 This copper cent, dropped in a slot in the machine, with magic swiftness shoots out colored stamp-and presto the kiddie thereby and then lays the foundation of a future fortune
 In case the child is affiuent enough to possess anickel, or dime, or quarter, the mode of operation is exactly the same only of course the stamp emerging from the secret recesses of the machine will be of differing color and denomina- ton.
 The bank, without charge, provides both the machines and cards upon which
 the stamps are to be pasted. After the
 young aspirant has secured stamps enough to count up one dollar, he ad- vances to the rank of a real depositor for then the banking g+house exchanget his stamp card for an actual bank,
 book. In case, however, any child fails to reach the dollar point and grows discouraged in his efforts to save. tht bank will give back whatever amoun of change he may have invested il stannpsI but such cases are rare. As an accommodation, and in thi: laudable effort to inspire the risins
 generation to save, the bank has ru l machines in sixteen of the Norwich schools; so that the child who has earned or has been given a penny or 2 nickel and who determines to deny him
 self chewing gum, or lollypops or simi lar l,ixuries, can put his cash out O temptation's way immediately on reach ing school. That the children realz the benefits of this system is apparen from the appended table, which indi cates how the schools are joning tn l moneyed class-by humble but sure de grees. one great advantage about the staml
 machine, it entails absolutely no worl upon the already overworked teachers l The only requirement Is that. when an, i machine becomes niled, the ledcner tele phone the bank, which will send it
 messenger to empty the machine of 1t coin and take the toll to the banking house.
 Boys viii be boys; and very, very l very rarely some embryo Napoleon c 1 finance will queer machine by slyl
 seeking to shove in a button or slu and pull out stamp; but to the cred l of thA Norwich pupils it must be sai that such cases are the exceptions whic

OVER 300 NORWICH SCHOOL CHILDREN
 HAVE BECOME BANK DEpOSITORS

Nrove how honest the other children are. As a rules the pupils are proud of their school machines and all are ann bilious to keep their percentage up to- ward the top notch.
 The bank force, who lived through the troublous times of war, with the additional duties and burdens of Liberty Bonds and the various other extra fin- ancial requirements naturally have added work through the use of the ma clFnes-As well as added expense, the machines placed in the schools costing a total of well over g 2,000 There Is q machine in the bank itself, also and the boys and girls have found this out, dropping in sihgly or in groups day after day. to exchange some coin for a stamp to. be pasted on the savings card.
 Most of the teachers in the public and parochial schools have taken up the
 stamp saving Gdea with great enthus-
 iasm; and this fact shows in thosa schools where teachers have sought to
 inspire their pupils with the habit of thrift. while cooperating with the bank
 in getting the children to realize the importance of saving regularly and with
 system.
 That teachers are practically interested
 in the plan may be inferred from the
 bank statements that since the plan
 went into effect the children have laid away considerably over $5.OOO. It has meant greatly increased work for the officials of the bank, especially for
 Chief Clerk, Guy B. Dolbeare. who has this department added to his regular duties; but the results have been So gratifying that the bank officials are highly elated over the widespread in terest in it and are not saying a word about any extra work entailed The stamp machine is an ornamental but practical device, in which Is pro. Wded to be inserted from time to time a series of posters in themselves a great incentive to saving. These vary in 3 pleasing manner, from a portraA ot Ben Frankbn. 4 postle of Thrift. to in. teresting scenes about the big world pictures of historic interest. the face perhaps of Jackson, or Garfield, ol Jefferson, or Charles schwab, or Johr 1 Wanamaker, Memorial Day suggestions l the slogans and nottos of finanda 1 leaders. such as By saving nickels ant l dimes. a thrifty person lays the founda l tion for q fortune" Such practical pos l ters in themselves are bound to n1ea1 1 6 great and worthwhile influence in an,
 school room.
 It is an interesting fact that s nun Der of the teachers. also. have taken uI I the habit Of stamp buying, turning stra, 1 coins into the handy stamps; and on l teacher found that during a short tm 1 in this way she had saved over s1; ! This. tool is a helpful example for tn children
