TEACHING BOYS TO SAVE
| A certain father has devised a rath-
er novel plan to develop resisting
| power in his boys. Knowing the value
jof self-control, especially in money
| matters, he gives each boy a weekly
lallowance, with the stipulation that
.it must be carried in the pocket dur-
{ing the week, and only half of it
spent. One boy receives 20 cents each
week. If he produces a dime at the
week-end, he gets another 20 cts; if
he does not he gets only a dime. The
other boy receives a dime and must
, produce a nickle to get another dime.
{There is thus a constant opportunity
(to spend, but a constant incentive to
‘save—to resist. It may be that the re-
ward spurs them on, but the fact re-
mains that this father is developing
resisting power in his boys that will
‘stand them in good stead in after
vears.
Think before yuu act 1s a good mot-
to, but a lot of people think and then
fail to act.
