WVe cannot fully enjoy life unless we are prosperous. And we cannot hope to be prosperous unless we have . , The best time to learn this ability is while we are young. The purpose of the school bank is that students may learn to save money by saving a few pennies each week so that this savings may become a habit. Thrift can hardly be thought of without mention of Benjamin Franklin, its great was Never forget to have a penny enumerated and paidg then shalt thou reach the point of ntial difference between thrift and miserliness is aptly illustrated in the universal recognition of l ranklin as the greatest exponent of judicious saving. the ability to save and to be thrifty American advocate.

A student should be a saver, not a spasniodic one, for that will not get him anywhere, but a consistent money saver. Thrift will secure for u student a better position and standing in life. In the life of the individual it must be remembered that it is not possible to practice thrift in money matters without receiving benefits in other ways. While one is saving money, his frugal habits mean the conservation of time, health and energy, the uplifting of his moral instincts, and the development of his mental capabilities. The boys and girls of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Their knowledge and practice of savings and thrift may mean the difference between success and failure in the future. Many students have savings accounts in some bank, but the deposits are made irregularly, consequently the account is of little value in the teaching of the savings habit. While a small deposit every week in the school system will help to establish a habit that will continue through life and will be of daily use. nf- X , i 2 t, V- .F Li -1 -' i :mfs Wwe I lg' v -' 1- 'll'-'I '!' -s -wer, a 1. . s.
