of things, or as new things were made

served us their model.

All this was splendid training In

object and ut the same time 1t was suf-
ficicntly varied work not to become
monotonous. 1t also developed skill
in the use of the hands. Mother. who
was Just ms enthusiastic ms the chill
dren would occasionally suggest some
thing of which they had not thought,
and sometimes, In their walks. they
would stop ut shop windows to play a
new game which this occupation had
suggested, finding treasures for the
doll house"
The children were allowed to ask the
shop clerks for the material, and some
times they paid for 1t with their own
money, for mother knew that, like
'grown-ups," they would prize things
more IL they bought them with money
of their own than If the things were
given to them. In this way the boy
learned to count, and both realized, to
n slight degree at least, the relation
between value and price: also that
they could buy only what they could
afford.
For example. one day they planned
to buy paint brush with five pennies
they had saved together. When they
reached the store they noticed first
was ten cents. There were smaller
five-cent brushes, but 1t would take
more than they had TO get one for
each. Little daughter wanted mother
to give them the extra flve cents need
ed, and son wished her to lend II 10
them. but both these suggestions were
finally ruled out, with lncaiculaDie
value to both children. Ihere was
quite long debate ana hard strug-
