TALKS ON THRIFT
your Rows Chance in fine World

"The dazzling attractions of luxury loving age constitute the greatest pos sible danger to American education.'-- President Faunee of Brown university. It's a fine Sunday afternoon. Proud and happy father is giving baby boy an airing and getting lot of good from the exercise himself The youngsters asleep now, so we'll just join daddy and have quiet talk with him about his son's future.
 What are you going to do to give that boy of yours a start in life?" we ask
 "why, we're going to feed him. clothe
 him and try to keep him we'll" says the fond parent. Well send him to public
 school and Sunday school. He will have good books to read, good playthings and good playmates'
 "That's fine." we reply, "but how.is he going to learn thrift and the value of money?"
 "Well, my theory is,' replies the
 young father, that if my child is given
 all those things I have mentioned he
 will be pretty well able to take care of
 himself when the time comes. Of course.
 I'm carrying some life insurance for
 the benefit of my family" | That's all right" we reply, "but do
 you realize that learning the value of
 money by beginning to earn it and save l 1t in his boyhood will do more to in- sure your boys success than almost any other one thing? It will create in him
 a habit which will be of lifelong ben eft. And if you open savings bank account in his name and keep it up l faithfully, eventually, with his assis- l tance, you can accumulate a really worth while fund from money which you otherwise might waste" By George, there's a good deal of | truth in that, I never looked at it like that before," says the young father,
 just as the baby wakes up and begins to say Dad, dad"
 I'll start that savings account to-
 morrow" is his parting remark as we
 take leave of him.
 l Now just a word to parents of older boys. Your boy is busy every day lay | ing the foundation for his career. Ills daily practices are becoming his fixed
 habits. If an "easy spender'' now he will l have much to undo before he finds him. self"
 l A savings account at the bank will | help your boy to gain boise as well as
 capital. Its effect upon his life will de- pend upon the attention he gives to It. Will you help and encourage him in
 this direction? T. D. MacGREGOR.

l It is in the spring of the year when everybody's heart and mind turn toward the soil; planting, planning arranging and digging, puttering about here and there, if they be amateurs, and getting down to rock bottom if they be pro- fessionals, and the "city beautifuln idea at once becomes the chief topic of con- versatiom
 l With the first glimpse of daffodils and wicker furniture, the we'll clipped hedge, the pergola in the garden, the flower beds and the pretty walks about 1 the premises appeal to the average woman as few other things do-and also to many men.
 Immediately she begins to plan her flower garden.
 i If she happens, however, to live next to an unkempt, unattractive vacant lot she turns instinctively to the "city beautiful" plan of making things more attractive about her home, and there fore needs the advice of a professional to tell her what to do.
 No one can make even a casual exam ination of the parks" in Birmingham, and the vacant lots and backyards with out realizing that there are great pos- abilities in the situation.
 When small town becomes what it's citizens call metropolitan" the off cials who watch over its destinies seek to give it that "city lock- the first thing they want to do is to improve the parks and cultivate the trees and add every accessory to the beautifying of the streets in the residence sections
 Later it develops that the trees and the shrubbery and the grass really are the signs by which a city is judged.
 Birmingham has been fortunate in not being in the predicament for many years of being small town"
 Always the city officials of Birming- ham have sought to preserve the beauty and symetry of it's trees and foliage and natural beauties and not only have their efforts been directed toward con- serving the trees, but they have gen erously given much time and money and thought to the care of its adornment and added to it's natural beauty.
 It was not, however, until within the last few years that the "city beautiful' idea was really launched successfully.

MODEL PENSION
BILL PROMISED
Bruere, Criticising Old
Method, Working on
New Measure.

A model teachers pension bill, 70 be
introduced at the next session of the
Legislature. is promised by City
Chamberlain Bruere, vice-chairman
and secretary Of the Commission on
Pensions, in a report on the present
condition Of the New York Teachers
Retirement Fund made public last
night.
Mr.. Bruere criticises the admins
tration Of the fund up to the present
and says that from the beginning it
has been destined to insolvency"
that "the present crisis has been de-
ferred only because payments of re-
funds TO teachers assessed for alb
sences have been postponed" and that
there is no money in sight to meet
the prospective deficit Of s20S,o26.4s
for 1918.
As temporary expedients, Mr.. Bruere
proposes these alternatives:
A pro rata reduction IN existing pen
sions. estimated at about AZ per cent,
for the remaining five monthly pay
rolls for the year.
Restoration 10 active service Of the
least exacting character of teachers
retired since 1912, but still able 70 give
service.
Voluntary contributions by teachers
Of such additional sums as are suf-
fcient TO provide for its maintenance
until the end of the year, which con
tribution might in part be refunded by
the city in the event Of the establish
ment Of a new fund during 1916. 1t is
estimated that an additional contribu-
ton of per cent Of salaries during
the remaining four months Of the year
would be all that would be necessary.
These alternatives all assume that
no more refunds for excused absences
will be made during the present year.
The investigators, Mr.. Bruere says,
looked into the records Of teachers re-
tired for disability and found that no
independent medical examination had
been made By the Board Of Education
before q certificate Of disability was
granted, but that the report Of the
teachers private physician had been
accepted as sufficient proof Several
able-bodied teachers were permitted
20 retire, according 70 Mr.. Bruere, and
the total retirements in 1918 were 179,
as compared with thirty-eight in 1908.
To tide the fund over the prospec-
tive dehcit this year, Mr.. Bruere says
the Controller will have TO advance
anticipated excise money and trust to
future adjustment 10 make good this
advance. He adds, with the cooper
alton Of the Board Of Education and
the Legislature, he expects 70 have
the fund in satisfactory shape next
wear
