Thrift

Children must learn to save money
so that when they are responsible adults
they will use mo.ey intellagently. Out
Of their allowance they must set aside
a little every week. But that saving
must have a purpose. an immediate
purpose. If the child is under the age
Of adolescence. Saving for a far-of
good is not possible for the younger
children. To them the immediate
pleasure is all they can understand. If
We can stretch that beyond day and
then 10 three and then to a week. a
month. We are doing well.
But you can't honestly ask the usual
10 l2-year-old child to save for a
college education or for next Winters

coat are purely adult conceptions. They
must be provided for by the adults in

II is the material provided for an edu-
cation in thrift.
