tions imposed upon us by the war
abroad and thriftlessness at home.
The pathetic aspect of the situation
lies in the fact that those who are
least responsible suffer most. Today
the admission is generally made that
extravagant living is one of the be-
setting sins of American life. The
average American home wastes ex-
cessively. Statisticians tell us that
we waste eight billion dollars yearly
in this country. Experts in such
matters have figured out that 10 per
cent of our food stuffs is wasted by
the housekeepers in this country.
Thrift consists, to a great extent, in
the saving of little things. Benjamin
Franklin said, THE art of getting
rich consists very much in thrift. All
men are not equally qualified for get
ting money, but it is in the power of
every one to practice this virtue"

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

and Summer, might add two hundred
million dollars to the national wealth
each year.
An instance of the value of thrift
in little things is furnished by the
Interborough Rapid Transit COM
pany, of New York, which secures an
income of more than $4,000 year
from the sale of old newspapers left
on the seats by subway passengers
One of our great railroad corpora
tions requires that every nut and bolt
be repaired and used again and the
cotton waste used in wiping engines
is cleansed and used again for pack
ing Journals.
Thrift of time is just as essential
as thrift in money, and saving the
seconds is just as valuable as saving
pennies. 1t would be a good idea il
people would form the habit of keep
ing strict account of what they do
every minute of every day. They
would soon be amazed at the amount
of time they waste. 1t would be a
good idea, merely as an enlightening
experiment, if for no other reason, If
everyone would provide himself with
a time account book and keep rec
ord of every minute with the same
accuracy that many persons keep a
record of each cent spent.
Many years ago some very excel
lent advice on the subject of thrift
was given by Sir Walter Raleigh,
which we can we'll take to heart at
this time. He said, "Use thy youth
so that thou mayst have comfort to
remember when It hath forsaken thee,
and not sigh and grieve at the ac-
count thereof; use It as the spring
time that soon aeparteth and wherein
thou oughtst to plan and sow all pro-
vision for 1aag and haaaE LIE

Mind Development
On observing the head of baby our
attention is attracted by its size,
symmetrical and plumpness, but as we
watch the growth of the child we OBJ
serve the head shrinks away to some
extent. The frontal loses its fuliness.
The whole head loses its symmetry Ger
tain places failing to develop as much
as others leave the head of the adult
covered with bumps and hollows in
stead of being plump,eyen and symmet-
rieal as at birth. 1t is safe to affirm
that if any human being is given per
feet intellectual training from birth
to maturity-but such perfect train
ing facilities are as yet not even work
ed out--they would retain the same
plump symmetrical head with which
they were born.
There are two ways in which brain
capacity is acquired After the skull
has become thoroughly ossified, and
the brain can no longer grow in bulk,
then its capacity to retain knowledge
and gain that power is further enhanc-
ed by the increase of the depth of the
convolutions or folds of the brain,
This second means of mental devel-

Many books have been written on
methods for training infant, kindergar-
ten, youth and adult. But thousands
more will be written through thousands
of years of future study before this
greatest of all sciences will come any
where near being worked into a per
feet system.
The above statement gives the im-
preston we are the victims of much
wasted mental effort. Such is beyond
doubt the ease. A very small portion
Of the energy expended for mental de
velopment, even by those anxious for
such results, is utilized in increasing
intelligence and thought power Just
