SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS
There is excusj for some expres
sion of sentiment because of the
fact ihat Belgium, now lying pros
trate, originated the idea of educat
ing .-hildren to thrift by the intro
duction of a savings bank system '
into its school, particularly at a j
time -when the United States bureau
of education is properly drawing sat
isfaction from the spread of
Belgium's idea ou this side of the
Atlantic, says an Eastern exchange. .
From a report just Issued by this ;
bureau it appears that 217,000 Am
erican pupils now have on deposit :
S 1.500.000 In school saving banks. I
In the United States these institu- ]
tions found their foothold through
the activity of a native of Belgium,
in Long Island City, N. Y. Since
then the system has spread over the
Empire state, and its school, savings
banks are said to be the most suc
cessful in the country. The system
prospers, however, iu Pittsburgh and
other Pensylvania communities, in
New Jersey and elsewhere In Grand
Rapids, Mich., for instance, the pu
pils have deposited since the es
tablishment of the school banks $73.
'">00. nnd have drawn out only $10,
*00.
The bulletin of the bureau re
commends that there be Instituted
,i working arrangement between the
.-*hool and the pcstal savings sys
tem. Very often, perhaps usually,
it is now the case that the school j
savings are deposited in private in- I
stitutions. Tha postal savings'
banks now receive deposits from all I
over ten years. The school savings
banks by beginning with children
when they are younger, prepare them
for the thrift which enables them
to be patrons of regular banks lat
er on Experience has taught teach
ers and other observers that the
saving habit can be formed as easi
ly and as sirrely as the spending
habit and that when oncc the chil
dren realize that they arc accumulat
in? money it becomes a pleasure
ra'her than a sacrifice to them to
l ut t\eir pennies in the school sav
ings bank.
Hand In hand with the encourag
ment of thrift among the school
children should unquestionably go
enlightening education as to the
real value and proper purpose of
saving. AVe believe that the childre
•ire being taught to plwe money-get
ting in its right relation to other
pursuits, and money possession in
its right relation to other require
ments It is of importarce to the
nation that its children shall be
industrious, frugal, thrifty, pro
vident; they can be all of these
and still be free from r.varicious
ness, greediness, sordidness and sel
fishness. What the nation wants
is well-bred and well-trair.ed childrer
that it may be blessed with a well
rounded and righteous and indepen
dent citizenry.

fered from kidney and bladder
trouble. Taere were times that I
couldn't be on my feet long with
out baring severe pains. I seemed
to have no control of the kidney ac
tion and my bladder was inflamod.
I took Doan's Kidney Pills on a
friend's advl :e, and they cured me :
in a short time."
