THRIFT WEEK
Thrift Week brings home to us the
value of thrift ;xh & personal habit,
net only in the sense of conserving
our resources fur the proverbial rain
y day but also in the discrimination
as to relative value of things, for t
is possible It* exercise gross inecon
emie in onr e sroing tl riftines i . It
is, therefore, essential to practice
thrift intelligently, since it is equal
ly important to know where and
when to save, and in what to invest.
It is of the highest wisdom to elim
inate waste, reduce indulgence and
practire economy. These virtues,
formed into a habit of saving, lay
up xi store of leservc on which the ,u
--ture can draw. Such a fund becomes
a savion in adversity. In the rou
tine of life it inspires cotfrage and
bestows the feeling of power. It
stiffens the backbone and widens the
vision. It supplies the meals *f per
ianal progress.
Thrift is so obviously a benefit
that it should be a national habit.
Saving is a double* blessing, for it
profits those who save and at the
same time puts these savings into
productive enterprise to give work
to others. This nation exists upon
productive wealth. We are fed and
clothed by it. It hives us employment
This is the thrift that conserves,
that is productive. '
There is another phase of thrift
where it ceases to be personal and
becomes national. It is more neces
sary for us to conserve our manhood
than our money. Our schools are the
training grounds whence out? produc
ers come. It is the highest respon
sibility of thrift to see that this
source of the nation’s wealth and
power is not dissipated or crippled.
“Our schools should be the great
est thrift agency in America,” says
•I. W r . McClinton, Executive Diree
tor of the Better Schools League,
in outlining the relationship between
thrift and our educational systenn.
“They save manhood and womanhood
by supply an environment of health
and recreation and n field for men
tal and moaal development. Back
of the nation’s wealth and power are
ils producers. Creative ironius iia#
made America both great and
wealthy. Destroy the wealth of the
nation ami in time our people eould
reproduce it; impair our manhood
and generations would suffer. Our
schools are the source of ur power.
“In considering the practice of
thrift, there needs to be a discrimi
nation in values. That community
which establishes an efficient school
system may give greatest proof of
its thrift, while an inefficient system
may Ih> wasteful or extravagant.
That our schools are recognized as
an agency of thrift is proven by the
fact that generally the school officials
and the public are striving to con
serve childhood by discriminating in
favor oC education at the expense of
other less worthy enterprises, if nec
essary. They realize that if it is a
question of buying public improve
incuts Ur purchasing citizenship, as
true Americans they will vote for
the latter.”
Thrift, hke everything else, must
be intelligently applied.
