The Beginning of Saving
Just as in everything else, there is a right and a
wrong way to save. Saving should be above all
systematic and purposeful.
Systematic in that you set aside a definite sum at
definite intervals.
Purposeful in that you save for a definite object.
The advice of this company is to adopt as your first
purpose the initial premium on a Life Insurance
Policy.

showrt in statistics just published by
the office of Public Honda and Rural
Engineering of the United States De
partment of AgTleMiture; These statis
tics are included in Department Bul
letin 414, a professional paper, Which
reports one of the first exhaustive
studies made in this country covering
the administrative, engineering, eco
nomic) disciplinary and health condi
tions In convict road camps. Repre
sentatives of the United States Public
Health Service co-operated with the
specialists of the Department of Agri
culture in making the studies. The
systems adopted by the several States
are discussed and recommendations
are made for the achievement of
greater efficiency In operation of the
convict camps and conduct of the road
works
The systems of convict labor are
classified In the report as lease, con
tract and piece price systems, under
which the labor of convicts Is for the
benefit of private Individuals or corpor
ations, often in the manufacture of
commodities; the public account sys
tem, under which the convict-made
goods are sold by the State! the State
use system, under which goods are
manufactured only for use in State
institutions, and the public works and
ways system, under which the labor
of the convicts la devoted to public
structure and roads. The latter system
has grown In popularity, it is pointed
out, because it makes use of the con
vict labor with a minimum of com
petition with free labor, contributes
fairly lasting benefits to the whole
community, affords healthful and even
somewhat reformative employment to
the convicts, and reduces congestion
In penal Institutions, The most satis
factory use of the system, In the opin
ion of the department's road special
ists, is under State rather than coun
ty administration. Since 1885, the re
port shows, the percentage of convicts
in a larite number of representative
institutions working under the public
account, State-use and public works
and ways systems, has Increased from
33 to 86 per cent., while the propor
tion engaged In road work alone has
increased from 1.3 per cent, to nearly
13 per cent.
Convicts should not b® Indiscrimi
nately put to work on roads. It is
pointed out. Only those who are phy
sically fit for the work should be em
ployed. It may be even desirable and
practicable In many Instances to re
serve assignment to the open-air work
as a reward for good behavior. Phy
sically and by former mode of life,
statistics cited In the report show,
about three-fourths of the average
male prison population is better fitted
for out-door labor than for shop work.
In practice, when all considerations
are taken Into account, it has been
found that from twenty-five to fifty
per cent, of the male Inmates of pris
ons are available for road work.
