To inculcate habits of provi- dence and thrift, by supplying facilities for little savings. It is not a Savings Bank, and aims to do what savings banks do not do-invite savings of small sums less than one dol- lar, from adults as well as children. Deposits of one cent and upward are receipted for by stamps attached to a Stamp Card given to each depositor, somewhat similar to the plan of the Postal Savings system of England. When a sufficient sum has thus been saved, depositors will be en- couraged to open an account in some Savings Bank where interest can be earned. Money can be deposited in more than 140 local Stamp Stations (many of which are open daily, except Sundays and holidays), but can be withdrawn only at the Station where it was deposited. Since its in- ception in 1888, over 40,000 persons have become depositors
