CHILDREN'S THRIFT


 It is always dangerous to praise children for saving their pennies lest the saving of pennies become the most important matter in their lives. Yet the good results from teaching chil- dren to save are so evident that the matter should not be avoided. But with that teaching should go instruc- ton as to the value of money not for it's own sake, and the greater value of characteristics other than saving.
 The children of the Northend school have shown themselves to be better savers than the pupils of any other. The Stanley street school chil- dren and those of the Osgood school are close behind. They, it seems, have been made to realize the value of their pennies in a tangible way. Quite probably they will grow up to realize the value of money more thoroughly than children of other schools who are not enrolled as "ssScrs" in as great numbers. either because they are not taught the value of money or because they have none, or very lit- tie, to save.
 Quite as the boy or girl whose par ents pay his or her way through col lege often fails to realize the value of education as thoroughly as do those who work their way through" so the little savers will appreciate the value of their cash to a greater extent than those to whom money is given comparatively freely and who are not taught to save. But there is a danger for both classes--the chi- dren taught to save every penny, and the children who are not taught to save at all. The little savers" may proper sort of instruction in the real relation of money to life--they may
 
 those who are not instructed as to the necessity for saving may be taught the things the others miss, but be tragically deficient in knowledge of the practical things of life such as the necessity for saving. As the boy just out of college has no idea of the difficulty in getting together T00 all at one time. by his own efforts, so the boy who is painfully aware of that difficulty may not realize at all how hard it is to acquire a mental out look on life that can forget it's prac- tical, tangible matters and give heed to the greater call it brings to those able to hear,
