THE TOP OF THE MORNING

We knew twas the top of the morning, For the sun touched the top the hill. And oh-at the top of their voices All the bobolinks sang with will,
 E The bushes sparkling with cobweos, And the grasses bent with the dew, And even the squirrels seemed saying, The top of the morning to yod!"

TALKS ON THRIFT
A Sensible Parent

'.T1e capacity to endure and the ability to do without will forever remain the es- sential conditions of achievement"--T The Rev. Father John A. Ryan.
 How to teach children the value of money and Its proper use is one of the difficult but important tasks of the pa rent.
 One father in a western city has worked out his problem in a satisfactory manner as it relates to his 1l-year-old son. He tells of the plan fin this way:
 "Our home is in the suburbs where we can have good-sized garden. This sum mer I made an arrangement whereby he was to have half of all the money re- ceived from the sale of whatever vcs1- tables we raised beyond the needs of our own family.
 "At first I hesitated about turning the boy loose upon the neighbors to solicit their orders but when they began to telephone to us of their own accord for fresh peas. beans, etc, I made up my mind that we were really doing the people favor in supplying them with fresh vegetables at moderate price.
 
 in this way George got SS of that And there is a further understanding between us that he must save, half of all he earns The boy sticks faithfully to this plan, keeping the money in a little metal bank until there is enough to take to the savings bank.
 ''He can do what he likes with the other half of his share of the money. l am glad to say that he uses 1t for sensible ,ul, fr, h{- N to buy a bicycle, which in turn he uses to extend the scope of his opera tions as agent for the Saturday Evening Post and Ladies Home Journal.
 "It Is a more difficult proposition for a little girl to earn money. But I give my daughter an allowance and she must save half of that. She also can do anything she wants to do with the other half. But like, her brother, she usually saves it fol definite purpose. She has just bought little kodak with the aocumulations o several months. and any expense that vii aris. in the way of buying films, paying for the developing, printing, mounting etc. of the photographs will likewise come out of that half of her allowance
 "The result of this is that my children are learning to know the value of money and its earning power when properly used"
 Another parent who heard this stor, agreed that 1t was a good plan. bu thought that care should be taken not tt let the children get too mercenary, tha it would be mistake to let them thinl that they must be paid for every service they render And this Is right. Learning business principles is not incompatibl with the development of a kindly ant helpful spirit, and the child should b' made to realize 1t.
