Best Of all, this dream may be
fulfilled. II rests entirely with the
father and mother to give the new
baby the right start in life. The
start is everything. Set the lit o
baby's feet on the rigAtFead, guide
him gently with a fsKfasnd, and
when he can walk alone, he will not
disappoint you.
The best start a boy or girl can
possibly have is a savings account.
You may have wealth now, but by
the time the child is ready for col
lege or business, your money may
have taken wings. Then your boy
or girl will lose this chance. Begin
right now and put SIS in the bank
every month for the baby. That is
only SIPS a week, and no matter
how small your salary, you can spare
that much for baby's sake. Keep
this up steadily until the child is
n years old, and he will have more
$l, 700 in the bank, to make his first
real start in life for himself.
II may seem impossible for you to
do this just now, withs 50 many extra
expenses, but try it for q few weeks,
and you will find it quite easy. IF,
however, you cannot save $5 every
month, save so, or even 81. II.

the amount, the one thing essential
is the bank account itself. BY saving
81 a month, Carnegie, when a boy,
got his start in life, and can now
spend millions.

he is old enough 10 understand, and
you will find him ready to further
your efforts and to add to his bank
account whenever the opportunity
offers itself.

they have not been saving them
