Lessons of Thrift.
An admirable work is being done by school savings banks in encouraging the rising generation to take care of the pence. These institutions are run on a copper basis, but substantial sums are accumulated, nevertheless. At the last meeting of the Canterbury School Committee's Association, for instance, it was stated that the bank at the Opawa School had eighty depositors, and a total saved of £322, after about eight years. At Woolston a bank was started a year ago, and there are now eighty depositors and £47 13/3 accumulated. It was decided to urge the Education Board to afford all possible facilities for the establishment of such banks. JI Jl
