SCHOOL NOTES
 THRIFT
 Marian E. Wills
THRIFT

Beniamin Franklin was a great teacher of thrift He said, "A penny saved is two pence earned During the Revolution ary War Franklin WAS sent to France. The French were aston ished at his simple hOmespun clothes. He told them he would never wear anything else till the great war was over. The French respected him more because of his simple ways and wise sayings. He showed the Colonists now to ,c0pOlaize dur ing the war. He was one of our greatest Thrift leaders.
 He wrote "Poor Richards s AImandc.' which contains his wise sayings. One time John Paul Jones went to France to get a ship to fight with during the Revolutionary War. He sent a mes Senger to ask the King for a ship. While the messenger was gone he picked up Poor Richard < AlmHndc' and started to cad. This wise saying caught his eye, If you would have a thing W@l done. d0 it yourself. If not, send. i4e put on his hat ana rushed GpNn to see the King himself li,~ King had refused the mes>tnGGr, but when Jones pleaded with him he consented. Jones called this ship the Bon Homme Richard" which means Poor Richard.

eived Bank Accounts. Mrs. Harrais gave us all bookkeeping and thrift outfits. So suppose the year 1926 will be a year of saving and economy.
 At the first of the year we all started our bookkeeping. We all had the ten dollars of our Christmas money to start out with. Many of the children had much more, including the bat unce of the money they saveu in 1925. We all like our outfits very much, and enjoy keeping our accounts.
 It's greatest value is that we must classify every expenditure, as to whether it was spent for necessities, luXurieS, charity or gifts, to increase our own ability, or for permanent investments. Then at the end of the month we compare the totals of each column to see what kind of characters we are building. If We have spent more for luXurieS than for necessities it means we lack self control. If we have spent nothing on charity or gifts 1t means we are selfish. If we have made no permanent inv. estment it means we lack fore, sight.
 We have adopted the follow ing thrift creed:
 1. 1t is the foundation of a strong character ill that it builds up self denial, will power and self confidence.
 ,. It promotes the growth of individual industry and respon, sibility.
 B. It calls for intelligence in spending and results in scient- fife management ot ones person al affairs.
 4. It develops forethought and removes one of the greatest causes for worry.
 }. It puts one in line for the | pest positions.
