As a rule by the time they get along in the schools to a point where they might make use of the school savings barfk. they are already Initiated into the bank ing business and already have an ac count of their own, which they watch with zealous care and which con tinues to grow. It is not for them, but for the others, who see a hun dred ways of spending every nickel long before they get it, and who never have one when they really need it. If they can be taught the value, the I importance of saving a little, the school will have conferred an inestl mable benefit upo nth em. When they get into real life, they will save a little at the beginning and will save more as their income or earnings in crease. If they have not learned to save something, then the greater in come will only mean greater expen ditures and eventually they win find themselves deeply in debt, without any propect of ever getting out I again. The time to learn and to be gin to save is in childhood. NO one need be a miser or a tight-wad, but everybody should begin early making provision for old age and the rainy day, that never fails to come and especially when one is not prepared for it.
