earn money. It seems a natural thing, in carrying out this part of tlie plan, that the next step should be to endeavor to teach them how to save this money ; or in other words, how to make a wise use of it. It is not enough that one be trained so that he can join the ranks of the world ' s workers and become a producer; he needs quite as much to learn habits of economy and thrift in order to make his life a success. During the past ear there have gone out from the Institute more than thirt persons, who, from the instruction received here, are today earning more than the interest on $500,000 invested in government bonds. We wish to help these young people to a knowledge of the proper use and care of this large income. In view of the above, we have been led to contemplate a new and, we believe, a very important step, namely, the establishment of a Savings Department in con- nection with the other work. To the development of this plan and the working out of these problems, it is proposed to form an association to be called Pratt Institute Thrift Association, but for convenience it may be known as The Thrift. The aim of the Association will be to encourage its members to habits of thrift; to help them to become prudent and wise in the use of money and time, by offering them a safe and simple method whereby they can make regular monthly payments for the purpose of accumulating a fund for buying or building their own homes; or for loaning to such persons as want to borrow for this purpose, and to do any and all such things as experience shall prove essential to the accomplishment of these objects. m 25
