you keep up, and you
reduce it one-fourth more if you
keep ahead.
We are training our three chill
dren to prepare their lessons two
days in advance Of assignments.
They study Mondays lessons on
Saturday and never study Sun
days.
Our children are also learning
to keep their home work we'll adj
vanced. There is never any
urgency or pressure necessary to
induce them 90 keep matters thus
in hand. They find both pleasure
and interest in doing things well
and on time.
We use practically the same
methods in teaching the use of
money. The children earn little
and are paid accordingly, buI
they never permit themselves to
become broke" You will always
find them in possession of a small
anoHnt of ready change.
Being behind time is simply
bad habit, usually acquired in
childhood and usually lingering
for a life time. 1t is easy 10
teach the habit of forehandedness
and such a habit sticks more
persistently than the bad ore.
1t is not difficult to teach chill
dren to keep small amount of
money about them. After brief
practice they become very atten-
tive to the matter and watch the
expenditure of every penny.

trembled with a vague fear, her
great blue eyes regarded him
with an extraordinary brave stead

like the coward he was, Hedden
might not easily have mastered
his sudden passion. A moment
they stood thus. Then the color
went out of the mans face, and

Forgive me. Silver" he said
"And unless it should please

I have said. We shall
talk no more of my love-you

twisting gesture with his right
hand-"I lock the secret in my
heart, whence it issued for
moment, only to find that it had
lain hidden too long, too long.
And yet would have leashed my
winged soul and given it into
your keeping. For You I would
