SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH MONEY.
Ono Pupil In New York Acted az the
Family Bank.

Where do school children get all
the money they take to SCHOOL," was
asked New York teacher who was
worrying over the frequent thefts
from the pupils In her room.
Il don't know" she said. 1.-THE situ-
alton is puzzling. 1t is fact that
almost every child brings money to
school. Many OF them have only q
cent to buy doughnut or a stick OF
candy, but others carry surprisingly
large sums. Not long ago the charges
Of theft were so frequent In my room
that l tried to stop this universal
carrying Of money, asked the moth
ers not to give their children money
during school hours. except In cases
where 1t was really needed to buy
luncheon. Many Of them promised I'd
cut off the allowance, but the small
coins continued to circulate just the
same. A few mothers declared tina,
they gave the children money for SAT,
keeping / learned that one girl In
my class came to school day after day
with from $40 to $50 pinned In hei
clothes. The father spent everything
he could lay his hantis on, and as the
little girls garments were the only
place where he could never find tho
money she was converted into the
family bank"

While playing soldier a Brooklyn youngster placed a brown earthen- ware jar. such as Is used ill baking beans, on his head for helmet, then found. to his modification and hor- TOT. that he could not remove it. Even more mortified and more terri fled was his mother, who in despera- ton, hurried the sobbing little sol- dier out of the house and boarded a car, bent on taking him to a physi- elan. The child could not even wipe his tear-flled eyes, for the rim of the jar rested on the bridge of his nose. Flushing furiously his moth- CT tried to appear unconcerned in the face of the staring passengers, but finally one woman grew so curi- ous that she asked:
 "Why does your little boy wear a bean pot?''
 Because he cannot get it off, re- piled the mother, stifliy.
 Why don't you break it with a hammer:" someone suggested.
 This proved to be a happy thought and as there was no hammer avail able the motorman was called to the
  rescue. He broke the jar with his controller. The little boy gulped with relief and his mother took him home.
