Thrift
"The inclination to earn and to
save is so important that it should
be established in the minds of the
youth at an early age," said Mrs.
Spray in her discussion on "Thrift."
“livery child should be taught thrifty
habits from the time it is able to
understand the spoken word, not so
much for the financial saving to the
l.imily, though in some cases even
hit might he considerable, but for
he elements of character-building
such discipline includes, namely, hon
esty, Industriousness, judgment, self
i straint and self-reliance.
Mrs. Spray pointed out that the
young child can be taught thrift by
.bject lessons that present them
■elves In daily life. With the older
i hildren money necessarily enters
more and more into the matter of
thrift, the relation of income to out
go. and also how to obtain an in
come.
Earn Money
"Already a number of boys an 1
girls in Juneau have discovered that
their talents or industriousness have
financial value, and have earned
hundreds of dollars. There are many
ways open to children for earning
money which need not interfere with
•heir helping at home. There is the
Mme-honored job for boys, of spllt
'Ing kindling anil wood. At the pres
ent season there are many people in
l mean who wish snow shoveled
iv. h- and ice chopped from walks
and hteps,' said .Mrs. Spray.
In summer. Mrs. Spray said, there
ire berries and flowers to be sold,
gardens to he tended, and the chil l
with a little Initiative, might raise
his own vegetables for sale, Girls
night find many avenues open for
•lie disposal of fine needlework,
ikes and other goodies.
She pointed out that some of the
' nowlodge gained in the manual
raining and domestic science classes
could, under the advice of parents
ind teachers, be turned to good ac
count.
Vocational Bureau
The solving of the problem of the
young tieople finding the wants to he
filled Is through the Parent-Teacher
Association, Mrs. Spray said. This
irganization might become a sort of
clearing house for such industry. A
Students' Vocational Bureau might be
organized in it a school employ
ment agency, to bring together sup
ply and demand.
Throughout her discussion Mrs.
Spray emphasized the importance of
not allowing the chil i to get the im
rression th it thrift leaves no room
for generosity.
"Ci nerosity is necessary to the ex
pression of love." she said, "and
thrift enlarges the capacity to give
mate ,al expression to that love.”
