YOUTHS FINANCIAL INDEPEND-
ENCE

taught to obey, and family disci
pline has become very weak. Among
the many reasons that could be cit
ed for this change, is the fact tina
children become financially indie
pendent at an earlier age.
Years ago children found it diff
ficult to earn money, and hence hat
to depend wholly upon their par.
ents. Today many boys and girls
feel that if the parents do not like
their conduct, they could quit
school or college, and easily find
jobs and earn their own self sup
port. Many are already earning
good wages at an early age. This
makes them feel very Independent.
They become able to hire or own
or borrow automobiles, go on ex-
cursions and tours, train around
with their own friends without any
parental supervision. Many of them
have far too much money for their
own good.
In the days when the only means
of transportation was the family
horse, which was locked into the
barn, with the key in fathers pock-
ct, youth had to stay at home. To-
day youth has money, and often
spends it unwisely,
1t is impossible to return to the
ways of those times. The modern
family must depend upon persua-
sion to influence its young people.
It must learn how to give the
young crowd such a good time in
ways, that they will not
look for the risky and undesirable
ones.
The young people are not going
to be controlled by repression, but
by giving them such pleasant ac-
tivities that their thought will be
occupied, and diverted from harm
full pursuits. The parents will have
to enter into the sports of the
children to a greater extent, or the
will have their own
sports not so good in character.

STIMULATING ENTERPRISE
Enterprise is a great factor in
BUSINESS. People may be faithful
ind accurate up to a certain point,
ind yet may so lack enterprise that
hey produce no prosperity for
and those who depend
N them.
Unless a community has enter
rising retail stores, catering to

ressive way, the service of those
torres is likely to be mediocre.
The success of an enterprising
ealer, however, depends on how
IT the people will take an inter-
