children in the ways of morality, but
not in the ways of thrift.
Two men met on the street car in

and one asked the other how he in
tended to give his boy start in
life.
The father answered that he and
the boys mother were going to see
that their son received an education,
that his health remained good, that
he attended church and made the
proper kind of friends.
But" he was asked, how are YOU
going to teach your boy thrift and

The father had given the subject
no thought, but said that with the
equipment the boy would have as a
result of his education and good as

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. sTRAUs
Prsidsnf Am<yira~ Soney 70, 7A,j9

His friend approved But" said
he. what practical lessons in thrift
are you giving him, so that he, in
turn, will be able to take care Of a
| family7 How are you teaching him
the value of money! Above every
thing else teach him early the bene-
fits to be derived from saving and
from earning money himself. \ He
will thank you for it some day" /,
The father was impressed by the
idea and agreed to do as his friend
suggested !.
However, not all fathers have such
foresighted friends. Thus. teaching
children thrift is one essential thing
in our education that should be taker,
UP in our schools.
The lessons of thrift, like other
lessons, are best learned when youno.
when the. mind is receptive. The
Germans understand this, and out Of
their necessity at the present time,
their schools how to c6pe viii, the
necessity of the future. They are
being taught scientifically how and
what to eat; to cat meat substitutes
which are easier to get and cheaper;
to masticate the food thoroughly, be-
cause when one chews food thor
oughly, less is required; not to eat
between meals and in every way to
practice thrift. The other coun-
tries at war are doing much tho
same thing.
Thrift is necessity in times of
war which only goes to show its adj
vantage in times of peace. But
above all things else let us remember,
that if We would have the nation
OF tomorrow thrifty we must teach
thrift to the child Of today.
