Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... PART II LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT Herewith are presented a number of Little Talks on Thrift. These have appeared from time to time in the newspapers of the United States as a part of the educational campaign of the American Society for Thrift. The Author desires to take advantage of this opportunity in acknowledging, on behalf of the Thrift Society, his appreciation of the splendid cooperation which has been accorded by the press of the country in this work. Money-making And Money-saving An eminent European financier whose family for many generations has been a power in international banking affairs once said that it required a good deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune, and that when you got it, it required ten times greater wit to keep it. There is a distinct difference between the power of making money and the power of saving money. Making money is largely a knack--a special gift. Financiers, like poets, are born, not made. But thrift is just as essential to the money-maker as it is to the money-saver. No matter how shrewd a man may be nor how keenly developed his instincts for acquiring wealth, he will never be successful unless an element of thrift is woven into all his activities. The so-called plunger--the meteoric financier--may, at times, seem able to defy prudent practices and the principles of thrift. However, such success is seldom permanent. Wealth gained by a sort of legerdemain rather than through the working out of sound business practices nearly always proves transitory. The majority of men who have built up great fortunes, though they have, in many instances, risen rapidly, owe their success primarily to thrift. It was this that gave them the start they needed, and it was the development of...
Book Synopsis Franklin's Thrift by : David Blankenhorn
Download or read book Franklin's Thrift written by David Blankenhorn and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans today often think of thrift as a negative value—a miserly hoarding of resources and a denial of pleasure. Even more telling, many Americans don't even think of thrift at all anymore. Franklin’s Thrift challenges this state of mind by recovering the rich history of thrift as a quintessentially American virtue. The contributors to this volume trace how, from the eighteenth century on, the idea and practice of thrift has been a robust part of the American vision of economic freedom and social abundance. For Benjamin Franklin, who personified and promoted the idea, thrift meant working productively, consuming wisely, saving proportionally, and giving generously. Franklin's thrift became the cornerstone of a new kind of secular faith in the ordinary person's capacity to shape his lot and fortune in life. Later chapters document how in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thrift moved into new domains. It became the animating idea behind social movements to promote children's school savings, create mutual savings banks and credit unions for working men and women, establish a federal savings bond program, and galvanize the nation to conserve resources during two world wars. Historians, enthusiasts of Americana or traditional American virtues, and anyone interested in resolving our society's current financial woes will find much to treasure in this diverse collection, with topics ranging from the inspirational lessons we can learn from the film It’s a Wonderful Life to a history of the roles played by mutual savings banks, credit unions, and thrift stores in America’s national thrift movement. It also includes actual policy recommendations for our present situation.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thrift, Movement in America Here and there a man has dared assert the righteousness Of thrift and to practice its doctrine. NO man in our century has done so much toward bringing the people to a realizing sense Of the crime Of wastefulness, and Of the absolute necessity for the proper practice of economy, as has the author Of the present book. A member of a large family, and with a father who had to make his own way in the world, he early absorbed lessons Of honesty, Of industry, of tenacity of purpose, Of economy; Of making the best use of what is available, and of shaping conditions to meet future needs, such as has made him careful for himself not only, but concerned for the welfare of others. With thrift as precept and practice entering into the very warp and woof Of the commercial, the moral, the spiritual life of the man - endowed by nature as wise and far-seeing, with an inherent de sire to serve - there early came to Simon W. Straus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

XIII RIGHT GIVING Howard Briggs, who sold newspapers at the corner of Market and Main streets in Millville every day after school, had met with an accident. One of the boys was excitedly telling his teacher, Miss Mayberry, about it the next morning. He was run down by an automobile and his right leg broken, and to the boys of the school this seemed almost the greatest misfortune that could come to a vigorous thirteen-year-old boy. "Now, if it had been his arm," suggested one sympathizer, "he could have that done up in a sling and come to school just the same." "Yes," said another, "and perhaps he could even have sold papers with his good hand." "My, won't he be disappointed not to get promoted next spring!" exclaimed one of the girls. Miss Mayberry, who had been listening but had said little, now spoke. "I must attend a teachers' meeting this afternoon, so I can't call on Howard, but I suggest that you appoint a committee of three to give him our sympathy and find out if there is anything we can do to help him." The pupils agreed to this eagerly, and the next morning directly after the opening exercises Miss Mayberry asked for a report from the visitors. Edwin Foster was made the spokesman. "Why, Miss Mayberry," Edwin began eagerly, "Howard is the pluckiest boy you ever saw. He looked pretty white and smelled like an apothecary shop, but he said he wanted his schoolbooks sent home so that he could keep up in all his studies. I told him we'd help by letting him know just how fast we were going." "Yes," said Miss Mayberry, "and if the doctor -assures us that he is able to do this work, perhaps we can make some arrangement for him to send the regular written work to me to correct. But I have another suggestion to make if you have finished, ...

Book Synopsis American Religious History [3 volumes] by : Gary Scott Smith
Download or read book American Religious History [3 volumes] written by Gary Scott Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 1243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mix of thematic essays, reference entries, and primary source documents covering the role of religion in American history and life from the colonial era to the present. Often controversial, religion has been an important force in shaping American culture. Religious convictions strongly influenced colonial and state governments as well as the United States as a new republic. Religious teachings, values, and practices deeply affected political structures and policies, economic ideology and practice, educational institutions and instruction, social norms and customs, marriage, and family life. By analyzing religion's interaction with American culture and prominent religious leaders and ideologies, this reference helps readers to better understand many fascinating, often controversial, religious leaders, ideas, events, and topics. The work is organized in three volumes devoted to particular periods. Volume one includes a chronology highlighting key events related to religion in American history and an introduction that overviews religion in America during the period covered by the volume, and roughly 10 essays that explore significant themes. These essays are followed by approximately 120 alphabetically arranged reference entries providing objective, fundamental information about topics related to religion in America. Each volume presents nearly 50 primary source documents, each introduced by a contextualizing headnote. A selected, general bibliography closes volume three.
Download or read book Thrifty Science written by Simon Werrett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the twentieth century saw the rise of “Big Science,” then the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were surely an age of thrift. As Simon Werrett’s new history shows, frugal early modern experimenters transformed their homes into laboratories as they recycled, repurposed, repaired, and reused their material possessions to learn about the natural world. Thrifty Science explores this distinctive culture of experiment and demonstrates how the values of the household helped to shape an array of experimental inquiries, ranging from esoteric investigations of glowworms and sour beer to famous experiments such as Benjamin Franklin’s use of a kite to show lightning was electrical and Isaac Newton’s investigations of color using prisms. Tracing the diverse ways that men and women put their material possessions into the service of experiment, Werrett offers a history of practices of recycling and repurposing that are often assumed to be more recent in origin. This thriving domestic culture of inquiry was eclipsed by new forms of experimental culture in the nineteenth century, however, culminating in the resource-hungry science of the twentieth. Could thrifty science be making a comeback today, as scientists grapple with the need to make their research more environmentally sustainable?
