the poor there usually develops rather
early In life a keen appreciation Of
the value of money. Whatever money
there is is quickly spent, and comes
to represent pretty definitely the ne
cessities and the Injuries of life. A
nickel means a loaf of bread and
penny means q stick of candy. Money
is hard to get and good to have, and
without 1t there is privation and mis-
cry.
On the other hand, in the homes of
the well-to-do and in the country,
where comparatively little cash is
handled, the opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the sources and proper
ties of money are comparatively mar
row. Here people somehow have what
they need, and no special effort or
hardship is associated with getting
these things.
Money plays SO important role in
modern life that we are apt to take IL
for granted without thinking especially
of teaching children what they should
understand of the matter. Children
should learn these things definitely
ana practically. beginning as soon as
they are old enough to appreciate rela-
live values. A child can begin by buy
things for the household when he
able to distinguish the coins and
count up the amounts. The age for
this will, of course. vary with different
children.
In households that do not manifest
through their activities and conversa-
ton the methods by which the family
income is obtained children should be
explicitly Informed on the subject. It
is not only embarrassing to the child
to display his ignorance when compar-
ing notes with other children, but it is
necessary part of his understanding
of the world to know just how people
obtain the precious tokens by means
of which they secure all their necess,-
ties and luxuries-
