One of the oldest banks in the

authorities in teaching the chill

and one girl are employed by the
bank to count the pennies, the
nickels, the dimes and quarters

In addition to these salaried

hours and render this service
there are volunteer receiving, tel

One Of the greatest functions Of
the school is to form right habits.
Habits are formed through prac-

saving small amounts and of care
full consideration before spending
will eventually develop into a
habit. And this habit is one of
the most valuable assets any child
can acquire.
Life is a succession of activities
