I CHILDREN'S HEADING CIRCLE.
One of the greatest needs in the

ami girls should have an opportu
nity to become ii lelligenl readers.
Intcre-i in good luniks will open
upilie woild to boys mid jjirls in
f.ir reaching ways and will give
the in one ol the greatest resources
of life. Willi a school library at
hand, the teacher has a splendid
opportunity to arouse ihis interest
in good literature and leave her

the same kind. The value of this
annul be overestimated.
Realizing the importance of whole
some reading among children and
desiring to further encourage and
stimulate (heir desire for belter
books, we have continued the Pu
pils Heading Circle that was insti
luted in the county last year. Any
child, who read as many as six
books taken from a given list, and
satisfied the teacher thai such had
been done, was given a certificate
indicting such. A list of books
has been prepared that gives ihe
pupils an opportunity to continue
the course for three years.

Learning how to make money la
only half. It Is learning how to
spend wisely and save Judiciously that
counts.
Kren saving does not necessarily
mean wise spending, since the pres
ent dary offers so many equivalents for
our money. It is only by making a
careful, systematic study of the house
hold administration that a proper bal
ance may be found between the dif

on wtiicfe too much money is siu'tit
The fact must be faced that if too
much la spent on clothing, f . r In
stance, less must be spent for other
net esHltles of life.
Saving, however, fa the Item that
should be most emphasized. Poor
houses are full of people who did nut
have a saving Item on their budgets.
Unemployment, sickness, old age and
in any other demands necessitate a call
on the reserve fund, the lack of which
will result in buiT-miiih and want.
Kvory going enterprise Is conducted

HystsHnatlc household accounting will
inuke a home more cheerful and pros
perous. Household accounting alone,
however, will never return Us full ben
writ until it is backed by an Intelligent
family budget.
One must consider the problem of
whether it la wiser to pay runt or to
build a borne. In a targe measure this
depends on local conditions as well as
the site of the Income.
Amusement and iworeatlon are a
sential In family life. The child and
the adult should have an allowance
for this, though the total be very
small, averaging from 4 to ft per cent
ot the Income of the fa wily.
