Should the measures be enacted, big

"lf these bills become law" said tho
Senator. "there Will be no necessity

That means that about 100000 will

This fact is admitted by the Controller

"The excess IS tue to two blunders
Of the past. The first bluncer was the
act Of the Legislature in providing for
sinking fund contributions for the en-

might appear eXtravagant, but
with such training he is sure to
turn it into an earning power.
A boy reared in such sur
roundings must be thrifty. This
mother did not raise her boy to
be a loafer, spending his time in
the pool rooms, or on the streets
wasting time, and learning bad
habits; she helped him capitalize
his spare moments for substan-
tial results later on in life.
On the home training depends
largely weather or not the boy is
to be thrifty or spendthrifty; q

work, or a loafer struggling in

go by, and be disastrous. Every
parent owes a duty to the child
in training it first to earn largely
and then to spend wisely.
The Curtis Publishing Com
pany of Philadelphia employs
over $4,000 boys in selling their
publication in odd moments.
Such training inspires them with
the instinct of salesmanship to a
very creditable degree. The
company offers to secure good
positions for all those who show
marked ability. A boy in Pas
sale, N. j., is earning SIS a week
out of school hours, and has 500
in the bank. Such opportunities
are on every hand for the boy,
particularly, to proftably use his
spare time, which might other
wise be frittered away to a
Manageable degree.
The selling of papers, running
of errands for store, and work
of this order does not reflect on
the standing of the parents it is
simply good training and those
whose regard is worth having
will recognize this fact.
A certain mother in Staten
Island whose boy used his out of
school time in delivering pack
ages for a dyeing establishment
and earned 81 week, had the
right idea. She insisted that he
put a part of his earnings in the

he increased his savings. He

SHE DIDN'T RAISE HER
BOY TO BE A LOAFER

One of the most important les
sons that a child can learn is that
money is the representative of
labor; a reward for services rem
dered; compensation for doing
something, and not a gift to be
had for the asking. The penny
that is earned has a vastly diff
ferent aspect from the one that
is solicited. When the child
grows up he will find that the
world will not hand out money
for the asking, but only in return
for value. The growing boy or
girl can have no better lesson
than to be compelled to return
something for their spending
money. Even though the SER
vice rendered be trivial, such as
carrying wood, washing dishes,
dusting, etc., the value of the
lesson remains.
After earning money by labor,
it becomes necessary that it
should be we'll spent in order
that the benefit, both morally
and financially, be lasting. If
the child is merely taught to
earn in order to spend, he is
acquiring spendthrift habits
which will enlarge as the years
