ally we have got to stop wasting, but
even more so have we got to stop the
wastefulness of our personal habits.
The paramount challenge to educa.
ton in America today calls for the
effective teaching of personal eco
nomics-for education in the manage.
ment of personal incomes SO that they
will give every individual good liv.
ing during his productive years and
provide certain security for the non
productive years of his old age.
Forty-four. million people, two-fifths
Of our population. are gainfully en-
ployed in the United States, earning
more than $4,000, 100000 annually.
The management of the expenditure
Of this 100000, 100000 annual pay
check is the biggest and most impor-
tant business in America. It has been
estimated that upwards of 100000.
100000 of this personal income Is
wasted annually. More than billion.
It is estimated, disappears in foolish
speculation in fake schemes.
The spirit Of waste in America 10
heritage Of the past, but today the
country has more than one hundred
and fourteen million people to support
and no nations resources can with
stand extravaganza indefinitely. An
increase in population will mean a re-
duced average of personal wealth un.
less intelligent management main
tains progressively more economic
utilization of the national income.
To teach our people this is the task
of education and 1t can not begin to
meet the task moment too soon. The
advance Of civilization makes mans
existence more and more serious
business. Human responsibilities and
duties increase each year. II progress
has made life more abundant it has
also made 1t more expensive. It Is
impossible for most men to increase
their real wages. Therefore they
must meet their added responsibilities
out Of more economic employment OF
what they get.
The schools must teach our young
people so to manage their own per
sonal affairs as to insure that they
will lead lives that have an economic
worth to society and to themselves
Business must provide plans for its
workers to enable them not only to
earn but also to save so. that the
teaching Of the schools will not prove
an illusion in practice. Do these
things and we will have no pauperism
in America Neglect to do them and
we will ultimately develop pau
perism,--a nations worst social crime

man who is said to be largely respon-

Made Work in Kitchen
Easier and Quicker

Have you heard how happy Mrs.
Smith is? Her experience is typical of
others, according to Mrs. Marion @.
Bell, specialist in home management
at the State College of Agriculture,
New Brunswick. Mrs. Smith says that
no one ever called her attention to the
height of her sink and her work table
until the local home management lead
er spent a morning with her in her
nome. Then, to her surprise, she dis
covered she was leaning over her sink
and work table In a very uncomfOrt
able position and had been doing so for
the ten years of her married life, says
the New York Evening Telegram and
Mail.
Instead of saying, 'Tll change that
some day." she went to work at once.
By means of good ball-beafing rollers
purchased for 40 cents the table was
raised and thereby made not only
comfortable work center but a more
useful one, as it can now easily be
moved close to the stove, window, din
ing room door, or sink, as needed. She
says it has already saved her many
steps and much fatigue and that her
next improvement will be the raising
Of the kitchen sink.

National headquarters of the Amer

issue officially signed credentials in
Instances where solicitation is to be
done in the interests of the Legion,
raising welfare funds, money for club

it is pointed out, to protect them

legitimate enterprises from fraudulent
persons using the Legion for a cloak
