Children and Money
What bitter lessons children
must learn when they begin to
handle money and do business
on their own account.
A boy of seven was at our
house last night, waiting to go
to a movie with my son. He
had ten pennies and a nickel.
He said he liked pennies and
nickels better than dimes. He
once was refused admission to
a movie because his dime was
from the Canadian mint.
“ Now I always turn dimes
over,” he said.
I mentioned this to a group of
people, and a woman of forty
told of going into a candy shop
when she was eight, and making
a nickel purchase. She present­
ed a beautiful half dollar, a
birthday present. The clerk
gave her change for only a
quarter, and could not be con­
vinced that the child had given
her fifty cents.
A man of fifty recalled going
to an opening ball game when
he was nine years old. He and
his friend stood in the line be­
fore the ticket window, hearing
the band and the shouting in­
side. Their turn came and they
asked for two twenty-five cent
seats.
“ No seats less than fifty cents
today, boys. Move along.”
