A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. W sTRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Efforts now being made to
eliminate the dole system in Eng
land bring out a very important
phase of thrift. To compensate a
man for being idle is unsound.
There are, of course, acute and
exceptional cases where temporary
relief is necessary, but fixed policy
Of striving to alleviate unemploy-
ment haraships by the donation Of
money does not mean the nearer
approach to solution of an
economic problem.
Work is the basis of progress and
happiness. 1t is necessary part
of thrift. Through work we
develop and become worthy of larger
opportunities.
Frequently we hear it said that
the young people of today do not
want to work. This is not in ac-
cordance with the views and obser-
vations of this writer, A very large
majority Of our young men today
appreciate the value of work They
AEt4tAHC tHdt uuiy al TINS way GdH
they get ahead and find the places in
the affairs of men to which they
aspire.
With our rapidly advancing
standards of living we are learning
mon and more the value Of rest,
recreation and rightful pleasure. We
have learned that it is part of
efficiency and progress to devote a
reasonable amount of time to
athletics, the enioyments of the arts,
travel and entertainment. In the
older days many man absolutely
worked himself to death.
Notwithstanding our broader
viewpoint of today the fundamental
value of work remains unchanged.
Idleness and thriftIessness are
closely akin.
Any person who hopes for personal
progress must remember first of all
that he cannot attain his ambitions
without a willingness to settle down

DECREASE IN NORMAL SCHOOL
ENROLMENT
Figures Show That the Enrolment
in the Nine State Normal Schools
Less Than Last Year.

Enrolment in the state
normal schools is 649 less than last
year, apparently due to surplus of
teachers in Wisconsin.
The total enrolment Of the nine
schools at the end of the second
week Of the present term was 5,047,
William Kittle, secretary of the
board of normal regents, announced
today. The total number of stu
dents at the same time last year was
1886.
There is a surplus of teachers in
the state, John Callahan, superin-
tendent of public instruction, said
Figures showing the exact surplus
were not available, and pending
their compilation, Superintendent
Callahan declined to comment on the
extent Of the over-supply. 1t was
indicated however, that the number
Of teachers in the state had some
effect on the entrance Of new stu
dents into the normal schools.

ent schools at the end Of the second
