LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
A Plea for Volunteer Firemen

In forming an estimate OF the value
of volunteer fire department, one Is
impressed by the fact that east of the
Alleghanies cities of considerable size
depend upon such systems at the pres
ent time. Only a short time ago Read
ing. Pa, city of about 100000 pop
ulation. decided by an overwhelming
vote not to change from volunteer to
paid tiremen. Moreover. 1t has been
said by those who know. that speak
ing generally, Reading and other
large places which still depend upon
volunteer firemen get about as low
insurance rates as like cities which
have paid systems.
West of the Alleghanies towns of
5000 and less population seem to
look upon volunteer department as
IA temporary expedient to be abolished
as soon as the salaries of three or four
regular men can be afforded. The
underwriters apparently take the
same view.
There is apt to come a time when
the volunteers are neglected and get
small encouragement especially by
the city couneiD for the particular
town feels itself becoming a city. and
is ashamed of its old protectors.
though it may not have total popu-
lation equal to that of single ward
in such place as Reading. but is re-
CARDS so-called paid system" as an
evidence of metropolitan growth.
There is, of course. truth in this idea,
but it does not justify sighting good
volunteer system for the sake of es-
tablishing paid department so small
and weak as TO be unable to cope with
the usual fire.
Ii would no doubt be highly desir-
able if volunteer firemen were differ
ent in nature and disposition from
the rest of humanity, but they are not
1t is unreasonable to expect them to
be anything but ordinary mortals, for
during something like 80 per cent of
their time they live and occupy them
selves like anyone else. Being just
plain folks, they have an idea that If
they volunteer to do work that others
do not want to do, certain amount
of appreciation and support is due
them.

in extravagant terms by the orator of

TEACHING BOYS no SAVE

THERE is, it seems, generally
i among boys, a growing habit to
spend all the money given them, says
the Portland Livestock Reporter. This
habit does not make for a saving man
when the boy gets old enough to earn
money for himself
To overcome the spending habit, a
certain father has devised a rather
novel plan to develop resisting power
in his boys. Knowing the value OF
self-control, especially in money mat
ters, he gives each boy weekly al
lowance, with the stipulation that it
must be carried in the pocket during
the week. and only half of it spent.
One boy receives 20 cents each
week. If he produces dime at the
week end he gets another 20 cents; if
he doesn't he gets only dime.
The other boy receives a dime, and
must produce a nickel to get another
dime.
There is thus a constant opportun-
ity to spend, but a constant incentive
to save-to resist.
1t may be that the reward spurs
them on, but the fact remains that
this father is developing resisting
power in the boys that will stand
them in good stead in after years.
