NOTE: In connection with this lesson it would be a 

 valuable supplementary exercise to establish a school 

 bank. The pupils of the school should elect a president, 

 board of directors, cashier, and clerk. The teacher 

 should provide a suitable receptacle for money deposits 

 and the proper bank books, checks, etc. Encourage the 

 pupils to make deposits, keep bank books, and draw out 

 money only with properly signed checks. Our boys and 

 girls should become familiar with these simple business 

 proceedings.
