Before l give a definite answer to your

the Boston maiden said, in calm, even
tones Il must know what your convic-
lions are in reference to our duty toward
the English sparrow"
Miss Howjames," replied the young
man, my position as regards that per
secuted but interesting bird is identical
with that of Thoreau."
Rather than confess that she could not
at the moment remember anything Tho
reau had ever written concerning the Eng

maiden slowly yielded.
''The Child's Idea of Money" was the
subject of a paper read recently by Mrs
Robert H. Dodd at the Brooklyn Institute
or Arts end Sciences. In order to be-
come better acquainted with the ideas of
many children regarding money. Mrs
Dodd had distributed in the various pubic
schools 800 sets of ques tions says the New
YORK Times These were answered by
children of different degrees of wealth.
The questions asked were:
Are you given money? How much?"
DO you earn money? How much?
What do you do with it?"
Have you ever found money? What
did you do with it,"
If you had a dollar to spend. what
would you buy?"
Mrs Dodd said that she found from
reading the answers that every child of
the 500 was given money by its parents in
sums ranging from 1 cent to 60 cants
week number of the replies were read
to the audience. a little girl s years old
whose Sgrthdfarther was a multi-mllion-
aire, said she earned a cent a day for
making her little sisters bed; that she
was given cents a week by her parents.
and If she had dollar she would buy two
dolls and picture book and go TO Vas
sar 70 see her cousin. A boy of IA said
that he earned money shoveling snow. saw
ed some and spent the rest for skates and
books
There were only ten of the entire num-
Der of children who had not found money
One lad of 10 said when he found money
he pitched it up" If ii came heads
he saved it and if tails" he spent it.
Another said he saved found money, as
it brought good luck. A large number
said they would buy skates if they had a
dollar TO spend, and others would buy
books, candy or fruit A little girl of 9
said she got cents a week from her pa
| rents and spent it for shoes and stockings
and hats
In beginning the lecture Mrs Dodd said
that children had no idea of the value of
money, and that in early life they should
be taught TO earn il and spend it discreet
ly. She thought 1t a good plan to teach
child to spend half and save half She
thought children ought to have a stated
sum every week. She did not think it
wise to pay a child for doing it's duty. nor
did she favor the plan of making regular
allowances.
She told of a father who would not al
low his children to borrow money except
when they had some saved, and then thew
could borrow as much as they had in the
bank. This father said that it was bus
mess to do this, and he believed in teach
ing the child business principles She
ended by saying a child should never he
made to give away any money it had
earned, but that in other ways discreet
giving should be encouraged.
An informal discussion followed the pa
per, and ali the mothers taking part be-
lieved that the small boy or girl should
be allowed to exercise its own Judgment
in disposing of its money, but suggestions
as to the best way to use it should be
made by the parents.
