hardly expect thrift to become a national characteristic unless it
first becomes a personal habit.

Are you a capitalist? If so, explain in what way.

What forms does the capital take with which your father does
business?

What capital does an Eskimo have? the American Indians when the
country was first settled?

Do you belong to a thrift club? Would it be desirable to organize
one in your school? Confer with your teacher and principal about
it. Write to the Savings Division, U.S. Treasury Department,
Washington, D.C., for literature regarding organization.

Is there a credit union, or a savings association, or other
organization to promote thrift in your community? If so, find out
how it operates.

Write a story on the subject, "What my five dollars may accomplish
after I put it in the savings bank, before it comes back to me
with interest."

Why are people willing to accept a lower rate of interest from a
postal savings bank than from an ordinary savings bank?
