Of Bradeys who know nothing Of rights
and duties as related to money. And
how should they know, never having
learned? Among the children of the
poor there usually develops rather
early in life keen appreciation Of the
value Of money. Whatever money
there is is quickly spent, and comes
to represent pretty definitely the neces-
sites and the Injuries of life. A nickel
means a loaf of bread and a penny
means a stick Of candy. Money is hard
to get and good to have, and without
IL there is privation and misery.
On the other hand, in the homes Of
the well to do and in the country
where comparatively little cash is
handled, the opportunity TO become ac-
quainted with the sources and proper
ties Of money are comparatively mar

they need, and no special effort or
hardship is associated with getting
these things. What is wanted is "or-

1--WE should have open-air schoois

dent Marks said 20 me The success
OF open-air classes has proved their
value for normal children, as well as
for those who are anamic'
wonder if you knew didn't--that
the experiment Of keeping the windows
open all winter was tried il nearly a
hundred classes in New York this year.
Several thousand children, warmly
dressed, breathed fresh air during the
months when children and teachers in
tho public schools are usually inhaling
chalk dust.
The teachers report that they found
the children both less restless and less
apathetic, and themselves less tired
and nervous.
Give years ago." said Mr.. Marks,

forum for children near Lakewood.
studied the records of more than a
thousand Of these children. They
gained an average Of over six pounds
in three months, and with two and a
half hours Of instruction a day they
progressed further in their studies
than did their classmates in New YORK
studying FIVE hours a day.
THAT is to say, with good conditions
Of living, Including proper food, we
found anemic children able to outdis-
lance normal children under poorer
conditions. In our open-air school the
children worked and played and slept
out Of doors.
81 am strongly in favor Of Superin-
tendent Wirt's system Of school or
sanitation, which includes out-of-doo'
activities for the children. I visited
Public School SO in Brooklyn the
other day. I have never seen a group
of teachers and pupils who looked
healthier or more alert.
"Dr. Writ agrees with me that the
health and happiness Of teachers and
pupils will be increased by more open
air classes and more out-ofdoor life.
~ am in favor not only of opening
the windows Of classrooms, but Of
building different type Of schoolhous'
open 10 the south. These school
bouses would be cheaper in construc
ton and more sanitary.
"By the way, regard as extrava
gance any saving of money which re
tards human advancement. 1t is ex

teachers, extravagant to fail to glv'

advantage of the early protection
against unwise purchases. Caution and
advice are to be given, of course; but
like many other good things, they
should be given in moderation.
Even in the matter Of learning to
save it is better to begin by spending.
By spending trifing amounts as fast
as they are obtained children come to
realize the limitations of a penny or
two. b. occasionally emitting an ex-
penditure and thus acquiring the power
TO purchase more satisfactory objects
the child may acquire sufficient ability
10 project himself into the future for
the purpose Of saving for more and
more valuable things. There is no
virtue in saving that comes from put
ting the pennies in the bank through
force Of habit formed under the COM
pulsion Of penalties imposed arbitra-
rilv from without. The child should
learn 10 save through the experience
of advantage gained by making sacri-
fees in the present for a prospective
return in the future.
In households that do not manifest
through their activities and converse
ton the methods by which the family
income is obtained children should be
explicitly informed on the subject. 1t

notes with other children, but it is a

which they secure all their necessities
