WANTS THINGS FOR HIS OWN
Desire to Possess Property ls Inherent
in All Mankind-Boy Desires No
Partnership Affair.

The average boy believes firmly in
the principle of the private ownership
of personal property, writes Thomas
w. Lloyd in the Mothers Magazine.
He would rather be the sole possessor
of broken handled knife with no
blades than pearl handled, four blad-
ed affair in partnership.
In fact, the desire to own something
to possess property-is inherent in
all mankind. And mothers should en-
deavor to foster this desire. 1t will
not only increase the boys happiness,
but will teach him the value of acquisi-
ton within proper limits. He should
have his own playthings, his own tools,
his own books, his own clothes and a
place of his own in which to keep
them.
A boy who Is permitted to do this
will take better care of things than
if owned in partnership, and he will
learn eagerly to have a place for his
things and to keep them in their place.
And this Is valuable lesson. Do not
make a younger boy wear his older

outgrown, if it can be avoided. OF
course in some families, where every
cent counts, this cannot be helped. Ev-
cry boy, and we speak from expert
ence, hates to wear another's clothes.
He wants his own.
Give him his own bureau drawer and
at least a portion of a closet and teach
him habits of orderliness and system
in the care of his possessions. These
habits are easily learned when young
and their value to the man of business
Is incalculable.
