Teaching Thrift

The father of young family has
this plan of training the children in
thrifty habits of saving. On each
birthday he gives the birthday child
as many dollars as the child is years
old The child is allowed to handle the
money and keep it in possession for
awhile, for the pleasure of 1t, Then
a bank kept for the purpose is pro-
duced, the money is dropped in, and
afterward, father takes it for de-
post, in the real bank. says the
Mothers Magazine. He explains why
it is a good thing to have bank ac-
count and to put away money for
time of need. He promises when, in
course of time, the birthday money
reaches the sum of 500, that he will
buy a bond, which will bring in in
terest that may be spent by the
owner, while the principal is kept
intact. This prospect Is so slim
ulating, and the whole plan so APP
pealing. that no birthday child
wishes to divert the anniversary gift
from its destination.
Along with this training in thrift,
the father sees to ii that systematic
and regular giving becomes a fixed
habit, by arranging that each child
shall not only give in Sunday school,
as well as a certain monthly sum at
the mission band meeting, but he
also sees that church envelopes are
provided, so that each may do his
own share in maintaining the Sab
bath offerings of the whole congrega-
ton.
