During the the chilren in the Berlin schools t war savings stamps, and in way saved a great deal of money, owing the signing of the armistice sale on wAr savings stamps de- Fased all over the couptry and the hal children were no lénger greatly epested in purchasing the stamps.

The'children were urged put their spare coins in the bank, son at the home of ! if 1t was only one cent at a time. Consequently the children in ong month have saved $211.65. This is considered to be an excellent show- ing. The tollowing is a report of the amount saved in each of the schools: Hubbard, $27.50; Selden, $13.4 Worthington, $17.89; Bouth, $33.71; Ledge, $8.80; Percival $13. Kens- ington GKrammar, $33.98 and the Junior High school, $62.85. Exolusive of the amount saved in the Junior High school, the primary girls have $157.35 to their credit. In- asmuch as it is harder for the young- | er children to wecure their pennies and put them {n the dbank rather than buy candy, special oredit should be given them for saving so much. The South school carries the hon- ors in saving the most for a single room, with $33.71.

In talking over the situation this morning, Mr. Showalter said that the showing was very creditable, and the children were taking a hold of the proposition nicely. Over one-half of those having school accounts have de- posit books in the DBerlin Savings bank. The parents of the town have taken an ipterest in the system and are urging their children to put their pennies wisely into the bank and not spend them for candy and other fool- ish items.
