It is unfortun-‘ ately true that a great many people have no sense of money value, and this is even more true of children, which is also unfortunate. Very young chilâ€" dren cannot be taught to estimate money properly, of course, but after a uo n k T child has reached school age and is studying enough arithmetic to enable him to compute sums and do addition wnd subtraction, he can be taught money values in both very important senses of the word. People are coming more and more to the idea of an allowance for the child who has no way of earning money. They are delegating certain purchases to the child himself, increasing these with his age and increase in allowance, and feel that when he does reach the age that he can become a real wageâ€" earner or own a farm or run a busiâ€" ness for himself, he will be much more eapable of the proper distribution and saving of his funds. h The reason a great many peoplel have no sense of money values is beâ€" | eause they never had money until they ; earned it themselves upon reaching | maturity. _ Childhood lessons make : much deeper impressions than those | that have to be learned later in life.| The child who must save his money to buy a coveted toy will also be more careful of the toy when he gets it, and he has a bigger notion of just what its value is. Though nothing seems so big as the first money he earns, he will have a more definite idea of what he can buy with it if he has learned « ey values.
