Nov, 14.—Washington educators yesterday expressed themselves as in complete sympathy with a thrift campaign in schools and colleges as that proposed by a committee of the National Education Association, who conferred on Friday with a representative of the American Bankers' Association and Treasury officials. However, some of the Washington educators denied that there was any tendency of extravagance among the students in Washington schools and colleges.
While Mr. Abram Simon, president of the board of education, said that he had not observed any marked extravagance among pupils of the Washington schools, he declared that it would be only natural for the children to partake of the general atmosphere of the nation.
