The saving of the money is import- ant, of course; so is the habit of thrift established. It inspire the voung people with the de- sire to earn a little money with which to swell the savings account, But there is a more important con- sideration still. The boy or girl starts a saving account and continues it, whether through this method or any other proper auspices, be- eome a more efficient man or woman, more observant of the practical de- tails of life, more orderly, ful in all ways to self and munity. The importance of the financial side of the matter is sufficiently obvious Moreover that aspect will appeal to everyone who discusses the matter with the young. The financial side should be emphasized, of course. But there should be a proper reali- zation of the greater good that comes through thought of the practical af- fairssof life encouraged by participa- tion in this plan of saving. With the teaching of the wisdom of accumulat- ing money, there should not be for- gotten the necessity of instruction as to the responsibilities of possession of means and all the worth while things that may be aided by it. nearly and nearly note. deposit is important, too, to who will more to com- use- POLISH ORPHANS' HOME. The announcement of the fixing of the date, July Fourth, for the laying of the corner stone of the new Polist Orphans’ Home, brings satisfaction to all good citizens of New Britain ir- respective of race. Prospect of a hap- pler life to children has an immediate &ppeal. When those children are or- phans the appeal is irresistible. And the fact that orphaned children are to be cared for, in a new and beautiful home, by people best fitted, through blood, to understand them and sur- rounded by brothers and sisters of +their own race, softens the tragedy of their Joneliness. The date, July Fourth, our Ameri- can day of Indepcndence, is signifi- cant. Knowing something of the en- thusiasm of Rev. S. A. Iciek, editor of the Polish newspaper here, one be- comes convinced of the sincere de- stre of those'interested in this work to encourage not only good citizenship among the Poles of this city, but good, stalwart Americanism. The selection of this date for the placing of the cornerstone of the new building is a practical example of this desire's re- sult. Father Bojnowski's worthy dream 1s about to be realized. Men spell the word “Success’” in many ways. *Money,” ‘fame,” ‘“joy"—all have been used as synonyms by people of different ambitions. The man in whose lexicon the erection of a fine home for children left alone in the world means Success, as in the case!expression of Father Bojnowski, deserves the re- spect and esteem of all men, great and humble, and all the happiness that comes from the realization that, in la- boring for “the least of these,” he has labored successfully for Him | Saturday is to be “Tag Day" to as- sist in the building of this new home for Polish orphans.
