Pupils Attention:

we call attention to the an- nounceemnt of very considerable importance in this issue, that should be of intense interest to the pupils of all schools throughout the Province. An Essay Contest on the subject: “Life Insurance-Its Ser- vice to the Home and Value to the World." This Contest is being sponsored by Hyndman dz Co. Lim- ited. the Oldest Insurance Agency in Prince Eldward Island, and the Provincial Managers of the Great- West Life Assurance Company. Hyndman and Co. Limited, put on a similar contest in the. year 1920, which proved a great success, when pupils from schools in all sections of the Province participated and many excellent essays were submit- ted, In the present contest valuable cash prizes are offcrcd for the six bcst cssrrvs. which are to be judg- cci by thrcc independent well known citizens. This seems a most op- portune time to endeavor to instll in the minds of the young. the value of thrift. uftor the very sev- ere lessons learned by yrumerous citizens in Canada and throughout most of the world during the pres- ent depression. The great import- ance uf adopting in early life a de- finite objective for safe and system- atic savings has been impressed on the minds of men and women as never before and most parents are anxious that their children should be taught to safeguard themselves against similar economic catastro- phes that may occur in the future. Life Insurance is the greatest single business agency for selling the thrift idea to the people. The as- sets of the Insurance Companies represent the fortunes or estates of most of our people. The statement

is generally accepted as correct that the larger part of ‘all property left by persons dying in any one year consists of the proceeds of Lllc Insurance policies. Life Insur- ance funds accumulated as a result of the thrift developed in this way among our people are also a pow- erful factor making for the stabzl- lty of the Country and its Institu- tions. because they are used for the uplguilding of the great public and private works which are essential to our community life and our commerce. This Essay Contest Should prove of great educational “B1119. and Hyfldman and Company, Provincial Managers of -thc‘ Great. West Life, are to be commended m; their initiative and enterprise. Dur- 111g the Teachers’ Convention it Would be well for those attending to call at the ofllces of Hyndmap and Co. Limited, on Lower Queen Street, and obtain any further Particulars desired in connection with this contest.
