It will surprise most people to
learn that the school children of
Pittsburg have upwards ot $90,
000 on deposit In bank. It
true, however, and the plan o
savings for children, which was
onlv started a few years ago, 1
proving so much of a succes
that more schools are adopting it
each year and now the bank is
collecting the childish savings
each week from thirty schools
The school savings bank scheme
is in operation most successfully
in Long Island City, one of the
boroughs of the Greater New
York, where it was introduced
by J. H. Thiry, who copyrighted
it. W. J. Jones, of the Pittsburg
Bank for Savings, became inter
estod in the idea, aud when In
visited New York went across t(
Long Island City and iuvestigat
ed it, and coming home introduc
ed it here. Speaking of the plan
yesterday Mr. Jones said:
"We have now about thirty of
the public schools of Pittsburg
besides a number of the parochial
schools and the plan is growing
in popularity every month. A
young man from our bank goes
to the school at a certain time
each week and collects the money
from the children. Each child
has a book made out in his or her
name, and is allowed 4 per cent.
on the depo'it, the same as other
depositors. The money can be
drawn out only when the book is
signed by the parents or guar
dians and the principal of the
school for identification. As
business man I favor this plan,
as it trains the child to habits of
saving and tends to curtail the
cigarette and candy habits. As
no one but the child and the par
ents know how much or how lit
tle is deposited, there can be no
comparisons to wound the feel
ing of those who, by their circum
stances, are unable to save any
thing. And I may stiy that the
little hoards prove almost a god
send sometimes to families over
taken by some unforeseen mis
fortune. . In other cases the child
amasses a neat little sum to have
on hand when life is run outside
the schools." E'ittsburg Dis

Ex Governor Stone, Pit-is burg-,
advocates the division of Pennsyl
vania Into two states, with the
Susquehanna river as the divid
ing line. Mr. Stone has written
a letter on this subject to the Pit
tsburg Leader in which he ex
Jains the advantage of such a
division on both sides of the line.
"Owing to the fact that the
great centre of population is in
hiladelphia aud itssurroumliogs
in the extreme western end of
the state," he says, "there neces
sarily arises frequent unrest aud
irritation in the country districts
over the Philadelphia methods.
No man appreciated this better
than did Senator Quay, who had
been the practical political leader
in Pennsylvania sluco Mm Civil
War. He was always atle to hold
the balanceof power and moderate
the modern politics of Philadel
phia;
"But to day Philadelphia leads
