of the signal down to a radius of IL

EARN OWN WAY

The economic system requires
the boys TO pay board and room
buy his own clothing, candy and
luxuries with money he can
earn by regular work.
The money" is aluminium tok-
ems. Each boy is assigned num-
Der which is stamped on his tok-
ems so that only he can spend
them. This prevents gambling and
limits trade 10 barter.
Pay is based on effort. One boy,
working his best, may do less than
a brighter. stronger boy who IS
loafing along but he will be paid
more. A boy who shirks loses pay
and cannot pay his bill. If he runs
$50" in debt he is declared a
pauper and the Republic is re-
quired 10 pay for him. The other
citizens. having 10 donate for the
