THE SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK
The ftrst systematic attempt at
i school saviugs plan in the Unit
ed states, so far as is known was
hat of Sereno F. Merrill, superin
eiu'cut of tho school in Beloit, Wis.
vho introduced the system in his
cliools in 1876. Although various
iewspap«T articles wore written
ibcut the plan aud beuefits of
chool saving for children by Air.
Jerill, Mr. J. P. Towusec-nd, of
»ew York City, and others, appar
ntly the work did no* extend bo
onj the Beloit public schools,
''hire it was used for five years.
in the winter of 1879, Capt.
t. II. Prat*, superintendent of the
Carlisle (Pa.) Indian Training
chool, established a saving sys
em for the Indians under his
uporvision. The boys and girls
an average of $10,000 to their
i edit l'or years, and took trunks,
lothing ;md books purchased with
heir own earnings b^tck to their
•estern homes, as well as some &c
umulatious of their own school
ivings in money.
The total amount saved by the
shool children in the United States
ince the work was begun in 1S76,
; over $15,000,000.
Such is the department that has
ten started in the Skagway pub
c schools. This department tends
j direct the pennies of the chil
ren into better channels, away
rom tho moving picture craze,
heao candy, soda water and early
xtravagances tht lead to a life of
aste. ,
It is very difficult to teach thrift
;i men and women, who have grown
p Ignorant of its first essentils.
n children, however, there Is uu
• rought material *o work with, and
iiev can be as readily impressed
"ith the habit of economy as they
an be taught their arithmetic and
eography.
The total amount that the chil
ren of the Skagway schools have
leposited during the first woek is
2j6.HC. It is hoped that they
ill keep the good work up and
hereby take the advantages that
he .iew department offers them.

THE VALUE OF A SMILE
t
"Smile a while
And while you smile
Another smiles
And soon there'll be
Miles and miles of smiles."
t
v
A smiie is like a mirror, It re
flects. For example, if you go down d
street and meet an unhappy per- c
son, and you smlloo at him, it f
makes him happy, and you, too. So s
why not smile a while, for Robert e
Louis Stevenson said: 1
"The world is so full of a number c
of things.
That I'm sure wo should all be as *
happy as kings."
The smile is said by everybody, to *
be the most contagious thing known.
Work too, is much easier if you -
go at it pleasantly.
"Smile upon your undone labor
Not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits weatU or glory \
He who smiles achieves;
Tho' you meet with sorrows
In tho passing years;
Smile a little, smile a littla
Even thru your tears."
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has tha Tigbtf
idea about the smile question, be
cause she has found out that the
best test is to be able to smile
thru difficulties, and that Is the
greatest test of happiness for
"Tis easy enough to be pleasant
When life flo.ws along like a Song
But the man worth while is the
one who can smile.
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of a heart i3 trouble
And it always comes with the years
And the smile that is worth the
praise of earth,
Is the smile that shines thru
tears."

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
"The mission of the ideal wo
man. is to make the whole world
homelike." This means that a
woinun must kuov how to keep a
house sanitary, neat and comfort
able; and how to prepare a good
.substantial meal, in learning .how
to do tliesq things she >s often lay
ing the foundation for her future
happiness. Beforq domestic science
was established in, the public
schoool it was not hard to. find an
example of woman who never had
a chance to learn to keep house,
possibly not thinking it "would be
necessary to do so; but something
unexpected turning up, they would
find out only to well what they
did not know, and wish that they
had had a chance to learn, ' That
is why the schools are introducing
it. They saw; too* many; examples
of inefficiency.
Very often girls are able to learn
ta ketp house at home, but there,
they do not get the most modern
methods and they don't, as a rule,
take such Interest in house work as
they do when everything Is ex
plained, the reasons given, and
where they work in. competition
with other girls.
Domestic science, is a help to
any girl and it Is a very essential
part of every school.

I'HV SHOULDN'T BOYS
TAKE DOMESTIC! SCIENCE
In :t discussion on domestic
ciouce the question arose why a
iOy thculdn't take domestic science
s wt!i as a girl. It is a good
hing for him to know how to cook,
iot only one kind of food but many
:inds.. What if he is out of
rork and some one needs a cook?
?here is work, but if he cannot
ook he is still out of "a job." Sup
loaing he is batching and can't
look a meal even for himself. He
g in. the same fix. Mo wonder
ha» his digestive apparatus is al
vays out of condition. He can't
lig'st his food and has stomach
rouble. Also he has doctor bills
o Day sometimes. He is discour
iged and becomes a grouch.. He
lan't find a wife.
If lie knows now 10 cura u uic.,
I mean a decent meal for himself,
le not only eaves a restaurant bill
3U* he can, say he lias accomplished
something that is worth while. He
«in invite a friend to dinner and
ie proud of his cooking and if that
Iriend hasn't had his host's oppor
.unity he will ask him "how he did
it." What do people think of a
'ellow who can't do anything?
We say that the "mission of the
.deal woman is to make the whole
fforld homelike." If a man can cook
tie can make his homo homelike.
Suppose ha is married and his wife
is sink and he can't afford a wo
man or a nurse >o stay with her.
it is a good thing for him to
know what kind of a diet she
needs. His wife would appreciate
tiis going right to work and cook
Inp- a good meal for both her and
the children. A woman is proud to
Jay to other women, "I have the
best kind of a husband. He cooks
me such good meals when I am
3icf." She cannot express her ap
preciation to him. She thinks lots
of him and will do anything for
him. She then. k«eps her promise,
"Love, honor and obey.'
Humanity is proud of him who
can do something or any thing well.
Why doesn't a boy when he has a
chance take it? Some say it
looks funnj; to see a boy washing
dishes. But it doesn't. It looks
good to see him help his mother
with the dishes when Bhe is tired
lor she has done lots for him.
Domestic science not only teaches
how to cook, but to be saving and
cleanly. Many a bachelor is as
neat a housekeeper as women. How
«2o?s he do it? He has accomplished
something and takes an interest in
ft.
We should all take a chance
when it comes.
