THE BOY AND THE DOLLAR.

That the boy with the unearned dollar

CURED by sift, by earning, or by flnd-.

teen hundred children
The result OF the Inquiry was that
children obtaining money most easily
spend it With much prodigality, Whit,
those who earn money. whether by en-
pigment or by doing service for par

discovered also that children put dol
lars to better use than smaller amounts.
Here. then. is an important lesson for
