BOOK REVIEWS 



'T'HRIFT AXD CONSERVATION, by 

 J. F. Chamberlain. J. B. Lippincott, 

 Philadelphia. Price, $1.40. 



\'ery aptly is the President quoted in 

 this little book, just from the Lippincott 

 presses — "To practice thrift in peace times 

 is a virtue and brings great benefit to the 

 individual at all times." During the last 

 few years, and especially since the begin- 

 ning of the war, the term "thrift" has been 

 much more in the public mind and on the 

 public tongue than heretofore. Men and 

 women are talking thrift and economy; 

 children are writing essays on thrift and 

 are earning and saving as never before. 

 There are lectures and published plans and 

 outlines telling how to earn and invest and 

 save, and the authors have set forth in this 

 book the needs for this teaching of thrift, 

 together with many practical applications 

 of the thrift principles to the life of the 

 people as made possible through such teach- 

 ing. The causes leading up to the spend 

 thrift practices of our people are set forth 

 and the necessity for rational habits in 

 proper saving and economy are made plain. 

 And the distinction between true and false 

 economy is carefully pointed out all 

 through the book, i. c. thrift does not con- 

 sist in hoarding or in miserly practices. 

 One does not save in order to have simply 

 but in order to have that he may use 

 wisely. He saves against the time of 

 emergency, in his own life and those de- 

 pendent upon him, and that he may do his 

 part in community or state through the 

 channnels of public or private service. So 

 changed is the attitude of the public mind 

 that where formerly a man of thrift and 

 .saving tendencies was looked upon with 

 something of contempt and pity, now the 

 man who is not reasonably thrifty or eco- 

 nomical is the object of more or less ad- 

 verse criticism. It has at last becoine dig- 

 nified to conserve instead of waste — to 

 practice thrift rather than spend foolishly 

 and we predict that this book by the Cham- 

 berlains will point the way for many who 

 wish sincerely and intelligently to establish 

 the habits nf thrift.
