es.AAp SAVINGS

A multitude of young people are
starting out for business education
in these days, and a, lot Of them are
spending considerable time and mon
ey on it. Many Of them think that if
they learn stenogfaphy or book keep
ing or other useful branches, they
have solved the heart, of the prob
lem. But these details are not the
essential thing in commercial life.
Business means the gathering and
accumulation of capital, and success
is never achieved unless the income
has exceeded the outgo and there is
a balance left for. growth and devel-
opment. The pupil who has not
learned to earn and save money, has
missed the Fundamental thing.
The young person who comes TO a
school with money which he has ac-
cumulated by his own toll and saved
through his own self denial, has ac-
complished more than amy. teacher in
the school can impart to him. He

cause he has had TO make mis- own

ing. But the fellow whose father pays
all the bills, who has never developed
and tried out his power to earn and
save, will get less out of the school

damental element in business.
That boy is an experiment., because
he may have the accumulative power
even though he may stand high in
his studies. The boy who has paid
his own way, has demonstrated his
grasp OF the fundamentals, and he is
more likely to win the attention of
busines msen who are looking for the
qualities that he possesses.
Business education should start on
the day that the child begins to earn
his own money Some part OF the
first earned should go. to the penny

PAYING OUR BILLS

Nothing will assist more in bring
ing about a return to normal busi-
moss conditions than the prompt pay
ment OF bills.
This has started already with the
farmer, who is liquidating his crops
and settling his accounts with the re-
tail merchants. Tho next step in the
process is for, the retailer to settle
his. outstanding accounts. This will
enable the vendors who sell 10 the
retailers to settle their accounts In
turn, and will thus put money into ac'
tive circulation and start the wheels
OF industry and commerce turning

Everyone should lend their hand In
this situation and do their part to-

Thrift does not mean the tying up
OF meney or Withholding what would

machine necessarily reflecting defects
that occur within it's component parts.

THE BUSINESS GIRLS DRESS

Many people feel that young women

unfavorable comment, Her course is
defended by many girls who feel that
only In that way can a young woman
set attention. II she is dowdy and
dulIsA%IaA ldrab. she does not succeed
either socially or in business. Also
most girls feel that the only way to
compel the attention OF men and a
good marriage, is to dress stylishly.
There is something In both points
OF view and the bright girl will choose
the golden mean The unattractive
woman is handicapped. There Is
something in good clothes that does
win respect and create interest.
But many girls carry style 80 far
that their employers consider them
sxtravagant, and hence think them
unht for business responsibility.
They are more apt to obtain the at

worth while that this calling will take
the cream of our educated talent. 1t
will make a tremendous difference in
the kind of work the schools accom-

Better pay for teachers is one way
TO do that But most cities have ad-
vsnced the salaries OF teachers. and
do not feel they can afford to increase
them further.
Another way to make teaching at
tractive, Is to see that teachers are
specially honored in the community,
and that the life of the towns where
they work is made attractive to them,
The majority of them are away from
their homes and they often find it
