A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS)

The progress of thrift education in
the schools of the United States is
rapidly assuming important proper
lions. A survey recently completed
by Mr.. Albig of the Savings Bank
Division of the American Bankers
Association revealed that 3.9SO,237
pupils of our schools at the end of the
last school year were depositors in
the school banks of the country. Dur
ing the year. these youthful exem-
plars of thrift deposited $26.0O5. 13S
in school savings banks and received
interest amounting to $947,61O. Net
savings for the year were S9,476,391.
An increase of $3.50 for the year
was noted in the number of pupils
participating in school savings bank

WALK AGAINST TRAFFIC, NOT
WITH 1T
Duluth Herald)

Risk of accident on country high
ways, and on city highways where
Snow-covered sidewalks force pedes-
TRANS into the street, would be very
much reduced if all pedestrians would
walk on the left side of the road
and not on the right, or against traf-
fic and not with it.
The reason is obvious. Those
walking on the left side, or against
the traffic. are facing the cars that
come up with them and can see them
in time to get out of the way. Those
walking on the right side, or with
the traffic, must trust to their hearing
unless they constantly look back.
That rule is very much more neces-
Sary at night.
When two cars approach each other
at night there is a considerable dis
lance in which the lights of the APP
preaching cars throw the road be-
side and behind them in total dark
ness. The driver. then, cannot see
the possible pedestrian ahead of him
in that area of darkness, and so he
may run him down and kill him. That
has happened, and many times oftener
than once.
Pedestrians, as well as drivers, need
training.
One very essential bit of training
for the pedestrian is to keep to the
left side where he can see every car
that is coming toward him on his
side of the road.

Unsung Reporter

While one of the easiest tasks fmag-
Unable is to go around picking out
unsung heroes we have set to add
to the list. No group is doing better
work in the field of American hack
writing than the anonymous souls
who give us our daily news. Most Of
those who have never labOred over
story amid the machine-gun crackle
of typewriters in an editorial room
seem to feel that newspapers some
how get themselves written imperson-
ally, says the Bookman. They are
unable to visualize the sweat and pro-
family necessary to compose q pass
able story, the imagination and strife
necessary to embeliish drab incidents
and sordid commonplaces in such a
way that the story will catch the eye
of the citizen at breakfast. Time was,
of course, when the papers were writ
ten poorly enough to leave the i'm
preston that they were written i'm
personally. That time has changed.
One cannot read q newspaper today
without the feeling that the thing has
been done by some fellow who ought
to be rewarded, who deserves more Of
an ovation than he probably gets from
a thousand widely distributed readers
each moment for two hours after the
paper is out.

Meanwhile, the American Society

Outline for use in years one to eight.
inclusive, recently completed after
thirteen years of research, is finding
it's way into hundreds of schOOlrooms
throughout the country. This means
that thrift at last has reached fixed
place in the curricula of the schools
of the country.
1t is of Importance that the teach
ing of real thrift along scientific lines
should accompany the progress Of
school savings banks. The school
bank affords an ideal medium for the
encouragement of savings but it must
be borne in mind that too much stress
should not be placed upon the saving
of money alone.
Parents should be tremendously in
terested in these matters. They should
realize that their children should not
only be encouraged to save money
but they should be given proper in
structions in the broader aspects of
thrift such as thrift of health, of time
and opportunity. They should be
taught that all thrift does not begin
and end with saving pennies
1t is a matter of pride that the
United States now leads the world in
thrift education. No greater asset
could be possessed by any nation.
