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.
