of water-logging. 1t is barely
possible that you might have

Value Of A DoIIur
Taught To Youth
In Many Woys

Economic education for Amer
ica's youth much in the news these
days, has long history going back
deep into our country's past in one
of the great, fundamentals h. a t
everyone of all ages. should know
a knowledge of money and its
management.
The young have long received
lessons of this kind through ex-
perience with a job, through spend
ing and saving their own money,
in the environment of the home.
and more recently in the classroom
through an increasing number o
topics in the broad area of personal
economics. 1t is, of course, an edu-
cation that is long on the practical
and short on theory. 1t is the latter
that the Committee for Economic
Development is seeking to remedy
by its proposals for the introduc-
tion of courses in economic edu-
cation in secondary and elementary
schools based on the social science
approach.
Youths Earnings Story
At any event, it is a fact that
millions of teenagers, both girls
and boys, of this and preceding
generations have learned at first
hand something of the value of a
dollar by working for it and earn
ing it. The US. Labor Department
reports, for example, that over half
of all teenagers IA years old and
over worked at some time in 1860,
the majority of them part time. And
an analysis of recent income data
of the us. Bureau of the Census
indicates an aggregate money in
come for this group, IA to 19 years
old, of about $5 billions a year
leaving out parental allowances,
gifts, etc.
For years, too, millions of young
sters have been indoctrinated into
the practises and virtures of thrift
through life insurance and the
ownership of other savings, m r e
early preparation for the respon-
sibilities of later life and the obli
cations of citizenship in its broad
est sense In the case, of life in
surance, the figures for 1860 show
the purchase of 21a to 8 million
policies of ordinary insurance, with
a face amount of protection of at
least $5 billions, for the age group
