TEACHES THEM THRIFT
FATHER MAKING HIS CHILDREN
LEARN VALUE OF MONEY.
Each Has Some Of His Own for
Household Work, but Allowance
Is Reduced II His Savings
Fall Below Mark.

William Jones Ia a thrifty father
with q plan of his own for teaching
his four children the value Of money.
These children are Is, IL, 8 and
years old; the two eldest are girls,
and the two youngest are boys. Father
Jones is head Of a branch of his house
hold which he calls the thrift de-
partment"
To teach child to save, Jones be-
lieves, 1t is essential to let him handle
little money of his own, and always
to have some in his possession. Il be-
lieve," says Jones, that the boy who
can go through store full OF attrac-
tive things, spend small amount
thoughtfully, and come back with some
loose change in his pocket Is on the
road to thrift"
In carrying out his duties as general
Jones pays each child a certain amount
for work done about the house The
S-year-old boy earns twenty-five cents
a week In this way. He Is expected
to spend fifteen cents OF that amount
III any way he pleases, but to have at
least ten cents every Saturday night
for the small metal home bank
which is kept for him. If he brings
only eight cents, the next week his
allowance is cut to twenty-three cents.
and fifteen cents Of this is put into
the bank by General Manager Jones
before the boy can touch 1t.
The plan works. Nearly hundred

credit of the eldest girl; the other girl

daughter has become careful and
successful shopper, that she always
has money for whatever she wants
most. and that so far as she is con-
cerned his duty as overseer Is about
ended.
