Thousands of penny and nickel- sav ings books, text leaflets in thrift and wall charts for showing the records of savings clubs have been mailed out to schools asking for them. Boys and girls are learning to put their money into government savings securities in stead of wasting it, and in order that they may not look upon savings as an end in itself, and gain a false concep tion of thrift as a form of stinginess, they are encouraged to save for some definite, worth-while object such, for instance, as a college education or business capital. Saving is only a third of the gaane, however, for the youngsters earn muci of the money they save and invest in Thrift and Savings Stamps. Weeding tobacco, running errands, clerking in stores, washing dishes, raising vege tables and live stock are some of the callings in which school savings club members engage during summer Taca tions and after school hours, and keen is the rivalry among them. Even the smallest tots are taking an. active part in the "Earn and Save" movement, and patriotic teachers who understand the value of thrift as an element of good citizenship are devot Ing their time and thought to making it part of their educational work- and are also encouraging the organization of savings clubs by the children them selves. They realize that they are rendering a real service to the country by teaching sound economic thought, practical patriotism and prosperity. GIVING SPLENDID AID Postmastars are giving splendid co-operation in the effort to create new capital by increasing the num ber of investors in goveramnent savings securities. Approximately 300,000 letters have been ditributed by them since the middle of Feb ruary to patrons of their offices, through post office boxes or by means of the regular carriers, call ing attention to the fact that the man who saves even a dollar out~ of his income has to that extent become a capitalist, and to the ab-1 solute safety of government securi ties as investments for 8uch sav ings. The postmasters are to be congratulated not only for helping to finance the government but for making their influence felt in. be half of the welfare of their own communities. Distribution of these letters means that the benefits of saving and sound investment have been brQught directly to the atten tion of thousands of persons in Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Virginia and the two Carolinas. SMALL CAPITALISTS RAPIDLY INCREASING GROWING NUMBER OF MODEST INVEStORS CONSIDERED SIGN OF NATIONAL PROS PERITY One of the most hopeful signs for the future of this nation is the ever increasing list of small investors. This movement, which gained such great stimulus through the issue of Liberty Bonds, is now continuing with added momentum. Having once tested the joys of coupon clipping, having learned the rewards of economy and thrift, the man of small means has become an inveterate investor. Never before has the a-bsolute safety of investment in government securities been so coupled with opportunity for sure profit as at the present time. Lib erty Bonds, Treasury Savings Certifi cates and Savings Stamps offer the chance for every man, woman and thild to join the ranks of the capitalists and to do so without inconvenience or danger- of loss. Equally important is the effect on the habits of the people. The movement Atrikes directly at the na tional ,ice of extrvagance. Already It has doae much to change the Unit ed States fro~m a nation of spenders'to aanation of savers and the end Is not yet. Practice thrift and saving for thirty days and you will never abandon the habit. In that time you will have learned what it means to you. Thrift Stamps pave the road to prosperity.
