plastic. Their habits are In process of
formation, and so it is through them
largely that the greatest good, the
greatest results of the thrift campaign
are to be attained.
"I feel a sense of great responsibility

undertaken. Once this is accomplished
and the pupils are awakened to the real
ization of what a vital part they. can
take in the war against the Hun by
means of the purchase and sale of Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps, I am
sure that they will put over a barrage
fire of silver quarters that will make It
comparatively eaay going for the actual
fighting Americana la v France In their
advances on the Hun trenches."
