"J. C. Anderson, a mémber of the board of educa- tion, has been greatly interested in establishing a penny bank here and has given the subject much thought and consideration, his con- clasion being thatthe system is well worth trial. 2 Addresses Pupils The pupils and teachers of Cen- je Street School assembled this morning to hear Mr. J. R. Little~ proud explain the system of School savings as it is to be operated in the Public Schools of the city, start- ing next Tuesday, October 7. Mr. Littleproud, who is himself, a won derful teacher, "and understands children perfectly, told in attrac- tive story form the advantages that the sayer has over the spepd- ' thrift. fe ' "Taking the 'word "thrift" as the key note of hls; Specch drew around it, p hsteath the three things implied" by the word "thrift." These are hag say. regularly ane nding wisely Jetting the ch n think for A feline and 'answer orally' the| LF qgiestions he would ask, in the familiar class-room style, the benefit they would derive from thriftiness was' strongly impressed. upon their minds. The children sebmed delighted with the idea of possessing bank accounts of their own and each resolved that he would start a Penny Bank account oft Tuesday next. 'School savings is one of the fiew- ep educational projects, which like manual trainng, lousehold. séfence and technical education has found its way into the activities of the class-room because of a change in education viewpoint. The old view- point is entirely academic. The new ig that of citizenship, and the tests of a school's efficiency is the type of citizenship that the gradu- ates of tHe sghool show ten, twenty and thirty years. after leaving school. Mr, Littleproud = states "Phat where this viewpoint obtains the teaching of such virtues as honesty, courtesy and self-control and such practices as industry res- ularity and thrift are subjected to Osh as'much stress as the academic sub- jepts such as.literature, grammar and history. Mr. Littleproud explained that tHe Penny Bank is purely a service nization, philanthropic in ita ontlook, and educational in its ac- tifities. The Directors of the Pen- n¥ 'Bank are men who are promin- in the educational, the legal financial world.
