STLtoday - News - Education: "The man in pinstripes held a piggy bank up for the fifth-graders.

The right slot is for savings, he said to the students. The next will hold cash to spend; the left, money to invest. And another slot, he showed them, was marked 'donate.'

The students soaked in the lesson. But one theme kept reappearing: donations."
