Excerpt from The Teaching of Thrift: A Manual of Plans and Teaching Outlines Arranged by Grades
Under the provisions of a law placed upon the Ohio statute books some time ago, instruction is to be given in thrift in all grades in our public school system, both elementary and high, to the extent of at least thirty minutes each week. As an aid to the individual teacher, upon whose efforts the success of this thrift teaching depends, we have undertaken in this manual to present a number of suggestions and lesson outlines which it is hoped may prove serviceable.
It is trite to comment upon America's wastefulness as contrasted with the frugality of the European countries, but it is really a serious question how many more generations we can continue this prodigality. Thrift is a habit; thrift is also an attitude of mind and an ideal. Practice and precept may combine to advantage in instructional method in the subject.
Thrift is Often defined briefly as saving, but it is broader than sav ing. Thrift is saving by using wisely and saving to use wisely. Thrift is not parsimony, not miserliness. Thrift is not an end but a means to an end; it connotes the ability to dispense with an immediate pleasure for the sake of future benefits. Thrift should be interpreted broadly as the conservation of time, material and money, and it is so regarded in this outlined course.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, replete with lesson plans and teacher resources, gives educators ample support in inculcating thrift and conservation as part of everyday lessons. The author, an assistant director at Ohio's Department of Education at the time of writing, was intimately involved in shaping the state's 1920 legislation which made thrift education a requirement in the state's public schools. These lesson plans aid teachers in carrying out the intent of the law, providing ample opportunity to incorporate practical applications along with theoretical concepts in the subjects of arithmetic, social studies, geography, and more. Realizing that thriftiness could not be taught in a vacuum, the author also provides lessons on time management, health, and avoiding waste, thus situating money management within the broader concept of resource management. This book will prove most valuable in the hands of those teachers tasked with teaching thrift with practicality and relevance in mind.
