regarded as a kind of generous
and patriotic duty one owes to
mankind,
Second. the altruistic motive with
Industrial training of the young
can be awakened through the ideal
of learning to do some one thing
well and thus having promise of
popular approval for faithful per-
formance. Make service rather
than wages the early motive Of
your sons industry and the wages
will Increase the faster.
Altruism may be taught through
social experience. The tendency
of youth Is merely to indulge him
self sensually when he first sets
out to mix with the young crowd.
He is willing to take far more than
his share Of the good things" and
the good times" as he sees them.
Ask him TO stop and look about
and he will observe others of his
age likewise contending for their
rights" socially.
Thus, lead him to catch the
idea Sf there being such thing
as social justice. That is, others
also deserve social opportunity
and some one should accord It
to them. Finally, perhaps your
child, will see that social pleasure
is a general need Of all the young.
Religious altruism is the easiest
and perhaps the most essential
form to inculcate in behalf of your
growing child. In order to be fair
and just to the demands Of his un-
folding nature, and in order to
meet one Of the most urgent de-
mands of social and radical prog
ress, seek to have your child
habitually related to the church or
the religious society OF your
choice.
Through his active relation to
the religious group more than by
any other means. your child will
acquire tho language, the specific
conduct and the attitude Of mind
of true altruism, and will thus in
crease many fold his prospects for
a life Of extended and delightful
service Of God and mankind.

to learn some OF the details
u as to how a family OF small
means got the most out of the
fathers salary by systematically
planning.
The girl, about thirteen. told
me that they left the city as soon
as school closed and arranged to
rent a housekeeping tent for ten
weeks. This cost $50 and was
pitched at a city supervised beach
right on the ocean. The father
commuted to work every day.
The two boys Of the family ran
errands for neighbors. and the
older boy helped a vegetable dealer
on Saturday afternoons serve his
customers in return for a large
basket OF fresh vegetables. The
girl made as much as a dollar a
day taking kiddies in bathing.
She was very attentive and had a

NE UGH can be done to keep the
u spirit OF altruism alive in
your growing child until he
arrives at that age when the un-
selfish instinct will awaken with
active emotional desire. Keep this
tiny spark smoldering till 1t comes
TO it's day of a brighter glow.
The medium or average for the
genuine awakening Of the altruis-
tic instinct is twenty-five. And by
the time that age is reached many
q soul has been SO completely sub
merged with selfishness that he is
unable to founder to the level OF a
generous ideal of his own.
Your child's altruism can be kept
alive partly through his play. He
must learn to play not only with
others, but at times for others.
He can be taught to give others
their turn. to see that those small
sr than himself have their share
in the games, to do his part in pre-
pairing and in caring for the play
