DRIVE FOR THRIFT
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF
GEORGIANS WILL BE HELD AT
STATE CAPITOL NEXT SATUR¬
DAY MORNING.
ATLANTA, Ga., March 7.—An im¬
portant conference on thrift work in
the schools and colleges will be held
in the senate chamber on Saturday
morning at 0 o’clock. The meeting
will assemble leading educator* of
the State who compose a committee
appointed by M. L. Brittain, State su¬
perintendent of education, at the re¬
quest ofthe Georgia war saving* or¬
ganization, of which State Senator
Ivan E. Allen, is director and
G. Cooper, vice director.
State Superintendent Brittain,
appointed this committee, took up the
matter of thrift work in the schools
the meeting of the National Educe*
tional Association last week; and,
jointly with Superintendent Blair df
Illinois, introduced resolution *
a c
mending this work to superintend!
boards of educations and teae

The thrift work in the
year is not likely to be don* under
the high pressure of war time's. It is
more likely to be a systematic cont¬
inuous educational work in keeping
with the usual methods of the schools,
but the organization wil lbe thorough
and far reaching. The treasury de>
partment lays fully as much stress
upon the educational ideas as upon
the raising of toe money because the
secretary of the treasury is of the
opinion that the inculcation of thrift
in the school children 1* the best
guarantee that the national defat will
be paid off within a reasonable time.
Great stress IS laid also upon the fact
that thrift is one of the most im¬
portant means that can be adopted in
character building. This will appeal
strongly to educators.

Tha railroads, especially the larg¬

the same lines; and they are spend¬

to increase the profits of agriculture

of stock owners the sentiment is

that those who wish to make money
