Hi story of school savingsWhen A . P . G i ann in i laid the
groundwork i n 1 9 1 1 for the schoolsavi ngs program whi ch was to set
the pattern for such programs i nCali forn i a, he adapted an i deawhi ch ori ginated nearly a centuryearli er i n France.
The first true school bank wasopened in a small commun i tyschool i n Le M ans, France, on May4, 1 834 . Mon sieur Dulac, whofounded thi s program , encouragedhi s students to save small amoun tsat the school unti l '
they had accu
nn ive rsa ry obse rvedmulated one franc. Thi s sum wasthen redeposi ted i n the local bank .The system operated successfully
i n Le Mans unti l i t was i nterruptedi n 1 870 by the Franco - Prussi anWar . It was resumed there i n 1 874by a Belgi an professor, Francoi sLaurent, who wen t f rom school toschool, i nstructing the teachers i nthe meri ts of the program .
Sch'o' ol savi ngs was first tried inthe Un i ted States i n 1 882,
whenSereno Taylor Merri ll, a formerschool superi n tenden t, set up aprogram for the schools i n Belo i t,Wi sconsin , through hi s Beloi t Savings Bank . Although the programwas abandoned five years later, the
'
exper i m en t attracted atten tion .Concurren tly, Jean Henri Thi ry, aBelg i an immi gran t, started schoolsavi ngs i n Long Island Ci ty, N ewYork .The movement caught the i magi
nation of M rs. Sara Lou i sa Oberholtzer , a crusader from Pennsylvan i a, who took up the cause at the1 890 conven ti on of the N ationalCoun ci l of Women of the Un i tedStates i n Wa sh i n g t on . L a rgelythrough her efforts, school savi ngshad been i ntroduced in 27 statesby 1 905 .
