塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 382
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
But masters can do more than this. They can actively aid their workmen in the formation of prudent habits, by establishing savings banks for men and women, and penny banks for boys and girls; by encouraging the formation of provident clubs and building societies, of provision and clothing clubs, and in many other ways. They might also distribute among them, without any officious interference, good counsel as to the manner in which they might make the best use of their wages. Many large employers have already accomplished much practical good, by encouraging the formation of provident institutions,--in which they have never failed to secure the respect, and generally the co-operation, of their workmen.

白话
雇主还能做得更多：为男女工人设储蓄银行，为孩子设零钱银行，鼓励成立互助会、建房会、食品和衣物互助组等。也可以在不指手画脚的前提下，给工人一些怎么用好工资的建议。很多大雇主已经通过鼓励建立节俭机构取得了实际好处，也赢得了工人的尊重和合作。关键在“不越界”：提供工具和渠道，而不是替人做主。今天的企业可以设自动储蓄、匹配储蓄、理财讲座、互助基金，但要把选择权留给员工，避免变成说教。

斯迈尔斯《节俭》中列举雇主推动工人储蓄的具体制度安排，体现19世纪自助与互助组织盛行的背景。
今日一问
如果让你设计一个帮助同事存钱的机制，你会提供什么工具，又怎样避免让人觉得被说教？
