The Brattleboro Trust Co. has an
nounced that prizes to the amount of
$500 will be distributed by the American
Ranking Machine corporation to schools
of cities using the. automatic thrift tell.
ers. These prizes viii be divided in four
classes, i. e.. cities with enrolment in.
excess of 10000, in excess of 5000, in.
excess of 1000, and less than 1000;
prizes in each case to be awarded to the
city having the largest percentage of par
Elephants and pupils with personal bank
accounts.
The Brattleboro schools have very
good chance to get the prize in the class
in which they will be placed, as the per-
centage of savers is very high, as is the
number of personal bank accounts.
Up to date, Brattleboro pupils have
saved over $945 since starting last Feb
ruary, with an average of SLIP for every
pupil in town.
Reports of the various schools will be
collected and sent forward next Friday.
The result of the contest will be an
nounced at the summer meeting of the
National Education association at Bos-
ton July 4.
