Thrift Will Be Taught Pupils, Who Will Spread It to Homes I'Allndelphln, March 21. Through the government savings director of the Twelve Federal Reserve Dis tricts, the savings division of the United States Treasury department has called upon the superintendents and presidents of all normal schools, colleges, universities and public schools in the country to aid the gov ernment campaign to make thrift a happy habit. Donald J. Cowling, president of the merican Council on Education,, has endorsed the Idea and has urged the presidents of various Institutions of higher learning to appoint local institutional leaders of the W. S. movement. As a result of an appeal from the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Glass, to the National Educational Conven tion, held in Chicago on February 26. that thrift be made a part of the school curriculum, the association evolved a plan whereby the savings division and the Council of Educa tion will create thrift organizations in each of the normal schools, col leges. universities and public roads. I The basic principals of intelligent | saving—wise buying, sane spending, l safe investment and the avoidance of waste will he taught. Thrift Stamps and \V. S. S. Stamps will be featured as the ideal Investment for small savings.

Boucke, State College, gtate College, Pa.; Gay lord H. Patterson, Dickin son College, Carlisle, Fa.; Harry D. Daiiey, Muhlenberg College, Allen town, Pa.; L. J. lmer, Central State Normal School, Lock Haven, Pa.; Carter, Lincoln University, Chester county, Pa. A specially prepared set of text books will be used in the public schools. In the new arrangement of canged conditions the War Savings Division does not propose to have any so called spectacular drives or spasmodic campaigns. The move ment will be a steady persistent ed ucational campaign in order to pro mote thrift by wise spending and safe and sane investment. Rainbow Division Will Land at N. Y. Washington. March 21.
