CHILDREN AND MONEY.
How They Should Be Taught to APP
preciate Its Worth.

The only way to determine the size
of a penny is to handle it: and even
so its circumference will vary accord =
ing to the quality of each handlers
touch, just as the size of the rising
moon differs with different eyes.
There are parents who teach their
children to be economical by giving
them nothing to be economical with:
thus enlarging upon the necessity for
right appreciation of something
which to the child Is nothing. The
only way to teach the boy or girl the
size OF penny Is to give the child
one to spend, so that he or she may
discover Independently its worth i'm
marbles or stick peppermint candy. If
you buy him just the quantity of mar
bles or candy you think he ought to
have he will forever remain in ignor-
ance of the value of a penny; also the
amount his stomach will hold without
pain; two branches of elementary
knowledge most necessary to practical
economies.
There Is no doubt but American chill
dren are given too much money TO
spend; not because the handling of
money makes them extravagant.' but
because they are not judciously lin
tied to the actual requirements of
their juvenile pleasures and profit, and
at the same time required to render
an account of their expenditures. The
nature eXtravagant with money Is
more than likely to be extravagantly
generous and eXtravagantly kind; in
deed, unthinkingly free with his own.
