ASIIEVIUE'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PROGRESSING IN SAVINGS MOVE Vv" ' High School Students Will Be Given Benefits of Thrift Training as Soon as Details Can Be Worked Out Miss Shotwell, In Charge of Work In State, Gives Story. Aahevllle's elementary schools are tnaklng excellent progress in the sav. lngs movement, according to a state ment made yestorday by Miss Mary O. Bhotwell, state director for North Carolina, of tho War Loan organlza tlon of the Fifth Federal Reserve district. It is the plan of those inter ested in the savings societies here to ;lve the high school pupils the bene (jt of .thrift training as soon as the details can e worked out. This will he, it .is understood, In a very short time About 10.000 children In North chairman of the board paused before Herbert and congratulated him upon doing something that no other boy there had done. Not only had he led his classes and been a fine all-round fellow, but ho had worked out of school hours and had saved $2,000. Numerous as the Individual mem bers of school savings societies are tho ways they take of earning money to invent in government securities. Ono llttlo girl, said Mis Shotwell, asked her if she wanted to see some thing very pretty, and led the way back of the houxo into a wood and over a wlro fence. "8ho said 'follow me,' and crawlod Poster Display Made by Children of Raleich Public Schools. Carolina schools are enrolled as mem- on hpr kneo8 mt0 n very small house bers of school savings societies, - related Miss Shotwell. "I did not fol cording to Miss Bhotwell. inis moans, Iow nor but WBte(j t0 aee what would Mid Miss Shotwell, that thousands of children are learning tho value of a dollar, the might of a cent, thrifty use of their time, the principles of good . citizenship, the elements of wise per sonal economy, and the habits of suc- ' cess. They - are learning to earn money and to place a proper value on it; and they are learning to Invest In the government's baby securities ' thrift stamps and war savings stamps, small enough for even the klnder gartners to have their share in the school societies. As evidence of the interest which ' ven, the younger members take in the savings clubs. Miss Bhotwell cites , the doings of tho flth grade in Wiley school, of Raleigh. The fifth grade so ciety boast of having a hundred per rent membership, which moans that overy pupil in the class has pledged to ' nave regularly In small amounts. There are forty-five or fifty youngsters In ' this particular savings society, which calls Itself the Franklin Thrift club, and they arrange programs and con duct their meetings all by themselves In most enterprising fashion. One such program recently was as fol lows: Roll call, answered by thrift flotations; (J) Allegiance to Flag Club; J) American Creed; (4) Thrift 8ong by boys of Club; (6) Thrift Hong by rirls of Club: (61 Reading ' Life of Benjamin Franklin; (7) Star Spangled Banner: (8) Club yell, Other pupils In the Raleigh schools recently held an exhibition of thrift posters, which : they themselves de : signed , and executed. - The exhibi tion was planned by Miss Nannie Smith, supervisor of drawing, who has taken an active interest in the nrnmo. tion of school savlnra clubs. i What habits of thrift learned : through the school savings societies may mean to older boys and girls Is Illustrated by the case of Herbert Kelly. When the graduating class of Kayetteville High 'School was receiv ing x its diplomas last summer, the happen next From the corner of the house appeared eleven of the pret tiest red Du roc-Jersey pigs I ever saw. Tho child had gotten the mother pig from the bonk, raised a family of lit tle pigs, and was going to pay back the bank with two of her little ones. She had already planned to keep the other nlnoi until they were old enough to sell, and Invest the proceeds in War Savings Stamps to be saved for her education." Other children are feeding chick ens, helping around the house, work ing in stores on Saturdays and car rying dinners. Their thrift socioties teach them that tho money they earn themselves is far more valuable than that which is merely extracted from indulgent parents. The permanent value of habits learned through tho school clubs Is shown in the remark able work done by many pupils last summer. Many boys and girls earned com fortable sums of money during thoir vacations, and when schools re-opened in the falf. Invested thoir earn ings through their thrift clubs In bonds and war savings stamps. Not one Bociety has saved less than 150. and some run up to four hundred dollar totals. All sorts of schemes for making money next summer are already on foot among the young sters. In connection with the work of the school savings societies, courses, of study In thrift are being given by teachers in this city and throughout ine state. unese courses are based on those prepared by the United States, treasury department for use in schools. Special emphasis is placed on five principles of personal thrift; learning how to keep healthy; learn ing how to work efficiently; learning how to save tfme, energy, money and materials; learning how to spend wisely; learning how to invest money Intelligently.
