A great philosopher has said: "No
boy ever became great as man who
did not in his youth learn to save. p"
1t is not to be universally expected
that those who have spent the early
years of their lives utterly disregarding
economy and saving will become thrifty
and frugal when they have grown up.
Therefore thrift should be taught the
children early in their lives, thus laying a
solid foundation for future national thrift.
Our public schools were originally
founded for what we call the development
of manhood and womanhood. Children
must be prepared in the schools for the
duties of citizenship, and subjects pertain
ing to the government and civic life must
occupy larger and more important place
in the educational department each year.
We have begun to realize that every one
must be given the fundamental principles
which he may apply later in some form
pflabor to help the community.
The thrifty citizen is the best citizen
and it is the appreciation of thrift, incul-
Eated in our children, that will make them

In California. In It's early days. be-
fore its production of grair was equal

were high, but az production increased

of wages. A farmer employed an In

the rate of fifty dollars month land

mending. At the end Of the term he
said TO his mani: II can't afford to pay

Mooney of the Commercial Appeal
obtained part of his newspaper
education on The Graphic. Read it,
you fathers, and take the injunctiols
to- heart:
DO not neglect your boy. Do not
lose his confidence. Make him your
friend. Become his confidant, Let
him come to you without fear in his
heart, and confess his indiscretions
and weaknesses. Let him tell you
OF his troubles and as man to man,
advise him what is best. This is the
way to lear useful and helpful citi-
zens.
More than one boy who sincerely
desired to confide in his father has
refrained from doing this because OF
fear of reproof or punishment

the suggestion that he is running his
boy by neglect; that his absorption
in business will result in the un-
doing of his own son. 1t is The
easiest thing in the world to forfeit
boys confidence. 1t will take onl.
a little snubbing, little scorning, q
little Indifference, a little ridicnle,
little unkind criticism, little nag
ging and little unreasonableness
on the fathers part, to shut Off for
ever any intimacy and real und
standing between himself and his
son.
One of the bitterest things in many
a mans life has been the discovery
after h. has made his money. that he
has lost his hold on his boy He
would give large part of his for
tune to re-establsh the confident re-
lationship that existed before he be-
gan to neglect his boy for business.
1t is an unfortunate thing FOR a

to dread to meet him because he all
ways expects criticisms or scoldlng.

t-sn when they are really deserving
of praise and "ncoT agement. This
is the surest way to destroy conf
dence and breed Indifference.
Boys are needless and mischiey-
Gus. They must be punished. Who
ever heard of the perfect boy? He
would not be a creditable representa-
tive of his sex if he did not do things
for which he must be punished. But
the boy is not necessarily bad. Pun

praise him when he has perfornao

youth. Boys thrive on praise. That
is why most boys think more of their
mothers than they do of thei.
fathers. Mothers are more consid-
crate and more sympathetic and

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
Pyr5iaent american Society to, Thrift

the best citizens of the future.
The habits of childhood influence the
child's entire life. Why not devote =
h half hour each day to the study OF thr1ff
in our schoolsi
believe if the question were taken up
t by all the state ,superintendents OF our
public schools and national propa-
ganda made of it, the national thrift
which we all are longing for would be
we'll on the way to realization. For we
can never have national thrift until we
have individual thrift and we can never
have individual thrift unless we begin with
our children. If campaign of this KIND
in all our schools were begun am sure
lasting benefit to posterity would result.
We are guided great deal by our
sympathies and our antipathies; it is
most natural for child to follow in the
footsteps of its father and mother and If
the child does not see thrift practiced at
home, the benefits which he may derive
through the teaching of the rudiments OF
thrift learned in the public schools will,
in great measure, be offset by his lack
of training at home.
Parents, therefore, should cooperate
with the schools in teaching girls and
boys to appreciate the value of money,
the wisdom of thrift and economy.
Germany, France and Belgium have .,een
educating their young for years how to
save and conserve their resources and
have found that it has mean, great addi-
lions to the national wealth.
1t should be kept in mind that thrift
does not mean tight 6stedness nor misery
habits. 1t does mean the conservation
of our every resource. Money saved by
thrift does not 60 out of circulation
but simply is diverted into more con-
structive channels.
