Sounds familar? To be sure. Broadcast the conversations of any " gverafge family and you'll find them punctuated. with requests for cash-- _anything from a penny on up. Of course it's hard on the. parental pocketbook because most of the re- quests are answered according to the mood of the minute rather than the worth of the request. That's not saying thal the money is wasted--it may or it; may not be; but it is asserting that the money is spent without regard to the family income and needs as a whole and that is very bad business, both for the pocketbook and the child.

They'll have te some day; why not learn how to. do it now? Of course I went with them at first, standing politely at one side while) they did the purchasing.

The 'art of spending money has be- come one of our most important.con- siderations. is so valuable, but'because it is our tool for getting ail the material things of life and as such ¢ommands our careful thought. Now our children do learn. some- thing about money in their schools. Thanks to the viewpoint the war gave to us, the theory of spending is being taught in many schools to-day.' But the theory is not enough. Would you care to trust the sewing for your fam- ily into the care of a woman who had read. fashion magazines but had never cut or fitted? Or the cooking to one who had read cookbooks but never been in a kitchen or cooked a meal? RIGHT TRAINING IN SPENDING. Theory . needs to be supplemented with plenty of practice. And by the very nature of it, prattice in spending, money can be supplied only: by the parents. Schools have no funds or authority for such laboratory werk. _ "That sounds well on' paper," says sorieone, "but how does a person begin and how is it"all to be shanaged?" One begins at the heginning--the first time a child asks for a)penny to -- spend. That request shows that he has the idea that with a coin he can get something he otherwise would not have. That's the time to begin his "financial training. The first allowance should be very small, as one wants to insure though ful spending; it had better be paid in coppers because five coppers are more fun to keep track of and much more fun to count and spend than is any nickel, however new and shining. With the giving of thé allowance there should also be an assignment of obligations. At first these will doubt- less be for giving, for saving and for fun. With three lines of spending "open and five coins to spend, there will have to be a balancing of desires, and that is what one 'does this for-- to encourage the child to see what he wants most. We started our children when they with-an allowance ecl. A piece of 'scratch paper ton each was tacked to the wall in the corner .of their room 'and we ruled this" paper into three Not that money in itself | or in some situations there is so little cash available that it is next to impos-| sible to manage regular allowances in this way. For instance, a fairly suc-! cessful" farmer sometimes had very | little cash for family use. How about children's allowances then? Pay allowances just the same; only | the method will be worked out differ- | ently. One very interesting family I, know pays the children two calves each year. The children care for their possessions and sell them or raise them whichever they decide best. The chil-! dren bear all expense, if there is any, and keep all profits. This not only, serves the purpose of giving them an allowance, but gives them business training In other lines us well, Another, family assigng a sertain/ quantity of ground and time to work it, with thé "profits belonging to the' child... Chickens, orchards and berry patches all suggest ways of paying an! allowance if cash is not feasible. | But if possible, pay at least a part! of the allowance in cash. Many a girl; who really likes. the farm or. small] town dreams of getting away, not be-| cause she doesn't appreciate her home, but because she wants independence. | Try giving her an allowance, Five dollars & months isn't much, but give {hat freely 'and see what h P| pens. Let her make her own mistakes and enjoy her Successes, the thrill of being "on your own" ean be happily; enjoyed at-home if you-give her al chance. Of course you will want to encour- | age the children to save money; that | is a most important part of their fin- ancial training. One of the best ways| to begin is to let them save for de- I | ferréd spending. That means saving for a bicycle or a radio or a party dress or a trip--anything that they want but cannot hope to bity without building up a fund for the purchase.' As the children leasn to save, let them begin to learn the pleasure of investment. Probably they will begin with the savings bank. When interest day comes round, suggest that they go to the bank and actually receive in| cash' the earnings on their tiny capi-| tal. They will then realize that, money: can be made to earn money---a 'vaiu-' able idea to get hold of, as we all' know, T"1¢t sounds like a lot of work!" sigh- ed a friend of mine, when we talked this all over one day.
