Wasting a Sheet Of Paper.

In the practice of economy there must
be reason and due regard to relative
values, for in the saving of little there
may be the wasting of much. For in
stance, a certain bank president draw
ing n goodly salary spends a great deal
of time cutting envelopes for use as
scratch paper. He is wasting his time,
for If he is worthy Of being president of
a bank his brain value is of so much
greater worth than the paper value he
is trying to save, that he is penny wise
and pound foolish. He should be think
ing out the problems of his bank. not
trying to save it a few sheets of paper
on the other hand. it would be good
economy for a large department store,
burning hundreds of lights daily. to pay
man ten dollars a week to watch for
needless waste of light and turn out
those not in use.
\ certain man dropped a nickel at
railroad station. In his endeavor to find

missed a business engagement that
held up four men, and caused confusion
all round, and had to spend quarter
for telegram to hold the engagement
for his late arrival. That was poor
economy.
The point to be emphasized in all
such endeavors is to impress upon the
individual who wastes that if all were
to do as he does, the loss would be
enormous: and if all were to do as he
should the saving would be great. We
are both careless and thoughtless. We

landlord has probably figured that out

light. or let the water run to waste.
A certain school teacher. wide awake
to impress these things upon her pu-
pills, got her chance one day. A little
girl made a few figures on a sheet of
paper and threw it away. The teacher
asked why she wasted that sheet of
paper. and the pupil replied that lit
was only a sheet Of paper. and besides
it was furnished by the Board of Edu-
cation free" Calling the class to or
der. she asked them TO take out their
pads and count the number of sheets.
Then she told them what the pad cost
and ask ed. them to calculate the cost
OF one sheet fraction of a fraction
of cent. She then told them how
many pupils attended the schools of
the city on an average of $50 days a
year and asked them to figure the cost
