Teach Your Children
The Habits of Thrift

and dressmakers, and grocers and
butchers. Many great career, many
great mans life is sacrificed to a
woman's having the bargain counter
habit.
All of these catastrophes could be
prevented by parents teaching their
children habits of thrift when they
are little. If every child was taught
TO save instead of spend; if it was
taught that a collection of nickels is
far more interesting than collec-
ton OF marbles or dolls, that one
Of the most exciting things in the
world is to watch bank account
grow, we should do away with nine
tenths of our failures and loafers,
and half of our divorces.
Nor is this as difficult a thing as
it seems. Foolish spending is simply
a bad habit. It's merely the graft
hcation of passing fancy.
Most of the things that children
waste money on they don't want
the second after they have gotten
them, as is proven by the clutter of
toys that every child posses that he
never plays with-useless toys that
often total up into the hundreds of
dollars.
If the child was taught to at least
put half of all the money given him
in bank, and shown how this money
grows, and how it represents some
big thing he wants, while the money
that he spent has gone forever, he
would soon become as interested in
saving as he is in wasting.
Every child should have savings
bank account started in his own
name. He should be permitted to go
personally to the bank with his little
deposits, and he will soon come to
feel that it's a far more interesting
experience than a visit to the candy
shop, and that the sense of pride in
having a real bank book to show the
other boys is a more exhilarating
feeling than exhibiting new bat or
ball.
| have seen the bank account ex-
pertinent tried on numerous small
boys and girls, and have never
seen a child yet that didn't respond
enthusiastically to it, nor one who
didn't get so interested in it that he
or she didn't soon begin to let mother
and father and uncles and aunts know
that check was the most accept
Bile of all presents on birthdays and
holidays.
You can get child interested in
saving for definite purpose BIZ
cycle, motor boat, a trip-anything
that is a big desire, and in so doing
you have taught him one of the great
lessons of life, to sacrifice the i'm
pulse of the moment for a greater
pleasure later on, to do without the
little things that he may have the
big things.

By DOROTHY DIX.

Are you raising your boy to be a
spcnder?
Are you teaching your girl to be
a waster?
Are you bringing up your children
to throw money away and to think
that the only use Of dollar is to
blow it in as quickly as possible'
Are you intoxicating in your chill
dren no idea of economy, and no habit
of thrift
If you are, you are blighting your
children's lives. You are handicapping
their future. y
You are raising up a man who will
be poor, and hard run, and in debt to
the end of his days. He will be one
of those men who, with plenty of
ability and energy, never arrive any
where, and who at last get discour-
aged and qualify as members Of the
Down and Out club.
You are raising up daughter who
will keep her husbands nose to the
grindstone as long as he lives, and
who will bar his way 10 success by
her mountains of bills.
The greatest fault in the American
character is extravaganza, and in
stead of trying to eradicate it in their
children, the average father and
mother cultivate it.
90 into any household that you
will and you will be shocked at the
way the children are taught to waste
money All day long there is never
ending appeal from Johnnie and Ma
ME and Susie for dimes for the
movies, nickels for ice cream and
soda water, and pennies for this or
that.
This is the case even among peo-
pie who have to toll hard for every
dollar they have, and who live al
ways on the, ragged edge of hard
times. They are bound that their
children shall be INDUCED. Father
Twill do without the warm coat that
he needs and mother will wear leaky
shoes that Johnnie and Mamie may
have some ridiculously expensive toy
upon which they have set their hearts.
1--WE want our children to be
happy. We don't want them to be
burdened when they are little by hav-
ing to think how far a dollar can be
made to go, as we do. They'll have
to worry about money soon enough.
say these parents, in self-excuse OF
their folly.
| To which one may reply that if
you begin teaching children thrift in
their cradles they will not have 70
stretch their dollars so far, nor will
they need to worry about money
when they come to their parents age.
| Nothing is more certain than this, that
if we take care Of Ctr money when
we are young, our money will take
care of US when we are old,
Any boy who grows up with the
belief that money was only made to
spend, and whose money burns in his
pocket until it burns hole through it,
is foredoomed to poverty. No matter
how much he makes, it all goes for
nothing.
He can never take advantage Of
opportunities that come his way, be-
cause opportunity has to be backed by
bank account. If he gets sick or
loses his job, he becomes burden on
other people, and in his old age he is
dependent on the charity of others.
He has got nothing to show for his
life's work just because he has never
learned to save when he was young.
The wickedest woman on earth is
no more of curse to her husband
than is the good woman who is
wasteful and extravagant. No man
can make Roadway against wife
with a spending mania.
She makes her husband a slave
