considerable thought to the subject of a reduction of waste and indiscriminate spending, and the opinion is quite unanimous that we must depend on a proper education of the grow

ing youth into the ways of thrift and frugality to offset the increasing tendency for extravagance now t r-otice-able on every side. "For the purpose of directing public thought to the subject of individual

thrift and the necessity of its prac-i

tice for our national good, a day has been set aside, February 3, for annual observance to be known as THRIFT DAY. v "Your co-operation in making the event important by discussing the subject from various angles with your scholars, will undoubtedly be of great

influence and in line with the generally accepted idea of teaching the young how to be thrifty. "Yours very truly, S. W. GAAR, President.

Become Financially Independent

The United States, trie largest country in population of the five countries shown in the scaleof -savings - per - head to right, is very much the lowest in actual savings per head of population. Little Switzerland,fourth in population, is highest in savings. Diminutive Denmark, smaller in population, has 700 more savings per head of population than the relatively gigantic United States This should not be so. Our country in material resources is richer than England, France, Switzerland and Denmark put together. Our wages, salaries and profits are far above-those earned in those four countries. Yet our savings are woefully lower the lowest. Why? Because Americans as a rule have failed to develop the savings habit. Life has been with us too much a case of "come easy, go easy." Consequently lots of money and wealth that would have stayed in this country if we had been- thriftier went abroad to. the thrifty Europeans as interest on sums advanced to finance our industrial growth. Today, However, Is Cur Golden Opportunity. Europe is no longer saving. She is spending all she can earn in the present and all she has saved in the past on war. Her securities representing the investment of past savings are today for sale to almost the lowest bidder. A great portion of her share in the markets of the world is ours for the taking.

But to purchase Europe's securities and take over her foreign trade we must have greater savings. It takes money to buy opportunity.

Thrift Day is set aside so prominently in order to direct your attention to the rewards of saving. Thje saver is always comfortably tided over periods of unemployment or poor business. The saver eventually becomes the investor and learns how to make money grow and not to fear poverty.
