SCHOOL PUPILS BUY WAR BONDS

SPLENDID SHOWING MADE BY THE RENSSELAER CITY SCHOOLS, The pupils of the public schools are showing considerable interest in the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Government Bonds. While there has not been any special campaign for their sale, the different teachers have been keeping the matter before them and urging such purchase, as a lesson in Thrift. —-Each month the pupils who have deposits in the School Savings Bank, have had an opportunity to draw out ,a portion of their deposits and purchase stamps. Other pupils who do not have deposits, buy stamps on those days. Tnrift clubs are being organized in different rooms and by the close of the school year it is expected that a larg eper cent of the pupils will be owners of stamps and bonds.
