BY S. w. STRAUS. President Ameri-
can Society for Thrift.
The intelligent employment of one $
savings constitutes quite as import
ant a part of thrift as the practices of
saving.
Current newspapers are constantly
recording the dismal stories of poor
people whose savings have been lost
through various schemes of fraudul-
ent or worthless investment and con-
slant allurements are being held out
by INSCRIPTIONS persons who make
offers of fabulous returns to those
who are willing TO entrust their hard
earned savings to them. 1t should De
borne in mind that any form OF invest
ment suggestive of abnormal returns
should be viewed with suspicion.
In Chicago, New York aud several
other cities quite recently men have
been brought before the bar Of justice
for defrauding the unwary in amounts
aggregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars. These operationswork terrible
hardships. Those who are robbed are
quite often poor widows or elderly
persons who through these misfort-
unes are made paupers for the rest of
their lives, 1t is not enough that the
charletans who invent and execute
these fraudulent schemes are given
the penalty of the law.
Every possible step should be taken
to prevent repetitions of these lamen-
table conditions.
Greater public education along prac-
teal lines is necessary. Those who
come in contact with the poor and
! illiterate should become qualified TO
discuss these matters intelligently
with them and be able to point out the
dangers of entrusting their precious
savings TO persons who offer eNtraya-
| CANT rewards.
There is not enough general under
standing of the most simple funda-
menlals of finance. 1t is too easy for
the mountebank to appeal to the i'm
aglnation and credulity of his prey.
The greatest barrier against fraud
is practical education. Those who as.
sumo leadership in public thought
have not discharged their duties when
they teach the thrift that consists only
In saving money and those who are in
a position to give advice and instruct
! ions on personal economics should
! realize the danger that may come from
lessons IN thrift and economy that are
only half taught.
