AFTER ALL, WHAT IS WEALTH?
Does Not Guarantee Possessor Happi.
Tess Or Immunity From
Unrest of Mind.

But after all, what is wealth? My
noble and severe parent had it in
goodly quantity, but it cannot be said
that it made him happy. He was far
from being a happy man. l suppose
that when he was the husband of one
wife he thought he would be happy
with two; but when the second was
there, it appeared his idea of happi.
ness called for another. | am glad
that it did-but this has nothing to
do with the argument-for that third
and lesser wife was my W good and
mild mother, who scolded only when
it was absolutely necessary, and who
raised a son to my father who has
been able by his own exertions to lift
himself above all the other children,
and at the same time put rice in their
pockets and hams over their shoul.
ders, i. e., to assist to wealth and
office.
And so it is with many people. l
remember when | was a youth at Lou
Chow that riches and promotions
seemed as very gifts Of the celestial
regions. But 1 have found that neith-
er great wealth nor distinguished
decorations, nor both put together,
will guarantee a man against unrest
of mind or turmoil of soul How great
and honorable is the peacock's feath-
or of the throne, yet how much easier
rests the head on goose feathers!-

Monday is banking day. All oe'

system is a unique one. The children
in each class arise alphabetically ana

the teacher sits with a cash memo

post is entered in the bank DOOR,
which is returned to the depos1tor.
The teacher acting as receiving teller
credits the deposit on the cash memo

money and compares it with the bal

than it does to put it in. To begin

must sign the check for withdrawal

Fruauf explained, prevents the with

the heart of children. 1t will be easily
seen that his methods, p~raiseworthy
as they are, have made him by no

When any depositor has accumulat-

and thereafter Is a bona ide depositor
in the larger institution, save that he
is still not allowed to draw his money
without authorization from his pa

rang, the organ rlayed, the church
was crowded, and everything went off
as the young man wanted it. When
the ceremony was rel the young
couple waited instead of leaving the
chancel. So held out my hand,
shook hands with the bride and then
held out my hand to the bridegroom.
He had his hand deep in his trousers
pocket, and as l stood with my hand
out he said, somewhat impatiently,
and in a tone that could be heard all
over the church:

ANEW YORK.-YOu remember y.
Henry's story of the little shop
girl who worked for SIS a week
In the big department store selling
the wonderful finery she herself never
could hope to own, but who. because
the strong face Of Lord Kitchener,
looking down from the colored print
on the wall of her hall room, had
stirred some innate warning too deep
for her to understand, had refused to
go out" with the fashy young man
who took all the other girls to dinner
evenings? 0. Henry called 1t the
Unfinished Story" He explained
that the face of Lord Kitchener might
not always be looking down from the
wall, and you can draw your own
conclusions.
1t is to prevent just that sort of
thing-the finishing of those tragic
stories, so many of which find their
ending daily in a big city, that John
l.. Fruauf has created as unique an
organization as car be found any
where in the country. 1t is a school
savings bank-a bank for school chill
dren to drop their pennies and dimes
into as insurance against the bondage
that shadows those many girls who
work for S. weekly in the big shops
of New York.
Started by Principal.
John Fruauf is principal of Public
School No. IA, at No. 225 East Tween
ty-seventh street. Briefly, he has es-
tablished his work on this theory: A
girl with a trade that will earn her a
good living is less apt to 60 wrong
than a girl whose wages are INSULT
cient to feed, let alone clothe and
house her. This latter type of girl he
points to as generally being the shop
girl.
"a girl who graduates from public
school," he says, has two courses
to go to work at unskilled labor In a
store for what she can get, generally
SO to SIS a week, or to enter a trade
school, from which she will be grad
uated with the ability to earn a good
living wage. The school savings bank
we have established Is intended to
give children of the poor a chance to
save enough money to learn a trade
and thus to prevent them from meet
ing the fate of the girl in the 'Unfin'
ished Story"
