Value Os Dollar Taught To Youth ; hi Various Ways Personal Economics Is Introduced In Some Classrooms In Re cent Years Economic education for Amer ica’s youth, much in the news these days, has a long history going back into our country’s past in one of the great funda mentals that 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 spending and saving their own money, in the environment 'ol the home, and more recently in the classroom through an in creasing number of topics in the broadarea of personal econom ics. R is, of course, an educa tion that is long on the practi cal and short on theory. It is the latter that the Committee for Economic Development is seeking to remedy by its pro posals for the introduction of courses in economic education in secondary and elementary schools based on the social sci ence approach. Youth’s Earnings Story At any event, it is a fact that millions of teen-agers, 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 earning it. The U. S. Labor De partment reports, for example, that over half of all teen-agers 14 years old and over worked at some time in 1960, the majority of them part time. And an analysis of recent income data of the U. S. Bureau of the Census indicates an aggregate money in come for this group, 14 to 19 years old, of about $5 billions a year leaving out parental allow ances, gifts, etc. For years, too, millions of youngsters have been indoctri nated into the practices and vir tues of thrift through life in surance and the ownership of other savings, more early prep aration for the responsibilities of later life and the obligations of citizenship in its broadest sense. In the case of life insurance, the figures for i 960 show the pur chase of 2% to 3 million poli cies of ordinary insurance, with a face amount of protection of at least $5 billions, for the age group under 20 years old. It is estimated likewise that a total of more than SSO billions of life insurance protection in the ag gregate is currently outstanding on teen-agers and younger chil dren, representing more than a tenth of all individual life in surance in force.

S. Savings Stamps. Both have a long history, the former dating back to the Seventies of the last century and the latter to the World War I period more than 40 years ago. As to their success, some $2 billions of Sav ings Stamps and Bonds were sold to youngsters during the 1 World War n school program ilone. As to the educational field, an increasing number of personal economies topics have been in troduced into the classroom in recent years covering such areas as insurance, banking, and mon management. Along with this is a growth in Summer workshop programs for teachers in these fields. Prominent among these is the one sponsored by the Na tional Committee for Education in Family Finance with the fi nancial support of the Institute of Life Insurance and its mem oer companies. Now in its 15th year, the National Committee conducts 18 regional university teacher training and curriculum development centers and has provided some 12,000 educators with a background in family fi nance to pass on to their stu ients. 20 YEARS AGO Continued from Page 1, Section 1 general election was the light est in many years, with only 341 ballots cast in the six precincts. The Rev. Lewis F. Schenck. rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church of Windsor, accented a call to serve as rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church to suc ceed the Rev. C. A. Ashley, who had resigned and moved to St. Augustine. Fla. Mrs. E. N. Elliott was named chairman of Chowan County wo men in a campaign all over the state to sell war bonds. Nineteen students at Rocky Hock Central School made the honor roll for the second month of school. Miss Lena Jonas was appoint ed a supervisor in the Red Cross surgical dressing project. Harvesting of peanuts was fur ther delayed due to heavy rains which considerably damaged ihe crop. Percy L. Smith, living in the Rocky Hock section, was grow ing a Victory pig, which tipped the scales at 1,055 pounds. He expected to add even more weight before it was sold. According to J. G. Campen. chairman of the War Savings staff, reported that Chowan bounty far exceeded the war jond quota for October with -ales amouning to $22,925 and the quota being $15,700. Since trifles make the sum of human beings, and half our mis ery from our foibles springs. —Hannah Moore. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, WORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1962.
