Germany A Thrifty Nation.
United Press Service.
Berlin, June 19.—“America
can learn much from Europe, es
pecially from Germany, in the
matter of thrift and economy,”
said Simon W. Strauss, the Chi
cago banker and president of
the American Society for thrift.
Mr- Strauss has about completed
a tour of France, Italy Austria
and Germany during whi^ch he
ihas made a thorough study of
| European thrift and will make a
: report to his society and to the
| United States government of the
results of his observations and
I investigations.
“My investigations in Ger
many have impressed me with
the need for extending the ac
itivities of the American Society
, for Thrift and making it interna
tional,” said Mr. Strauss to the
United Press. “We have become
prodigal in the United States
and I am here to learn the ways
of thrift, but I find that the
j German nation is more thrifty
than the German individual.
, Thrift is an anomaly. In Ameri
ca we have taken up the sys
tematic education of the peo
ple to greater individual thrift,
knowing that without that our
municipal, state and national af
fairs will not be run on thrift
lines. One of the purposes of
our society was to learn from in
quiry in foreign countries, and I
have observed and learned
much which I hope may be na
tionally useful in America. The
physical condition of the men,
the longer and more special
ized school system, and the co
operative buying and selling,
are aspects of German thrift
which will repay our study. A
definite and systematic effort
must be made in America to
teach the benefits of the house
I hold garden, as well as how to
make one, and in doing this,
iearn handicraft, which other
wise city boys do not learn. The
urban population must get
back to the land, and this is the
best and quickest way to bring
about the change ”
