With the registration running considerably over the 600 mark, I hi! seventh annual Economic con ference closed its three-tlay ses sion last night. From every point of view the 11)3(1 conference has excelled all of the six preceding ones, according to tho counly ugrl. cultural ugi-nt, Harry' a. 'Avery. The attendance at the conference during each of the three' days wus hltsh. and the people who tamo represented all the. sections of thu county practically. The program was practical in every respect. Vesterday afternoon was one or Ihe most important gatherings Of Ihe there days. In the division of home economies, Miss A. Grace Johnson, professor ill the depart ment of home-manusement at the college nnd Mrs. Vera Hiondon. an Instructor in the same department gave the lust of their series 01 mi dru.HSi'S having to do with very vital problems. .Mrs. Hrandon talked oh the, foedinf?' of children,.

Kuth ilHrrituan's classes in ho:lse. hold science, lieclarins that the use of money was three-fold, to spend, to give nnil to save. Miss Johnson plead for some definite thing In the child's early training III this regard. She urged the giving or an allowance very early, a very i small amount at first, from which ' some necessaries must, be purchas- ' ed. nnd increasing that amount gradually. "Do not tell the child how to spend his money, but core- j fully train hlin to make his own decisions." If bis decision was 1111- , wise, he must make the best, of It. j and gnl her his lesson from his ex- pcricncc. The Ideal way of iiinn- ' aging the finances of the .home Is by the budget system. Miss John son argues and in ithe carrying out of that plan the child should be allowed to sit 111 rallllly coneil, to know the family's Income as well as outgo and should assist in keep ing the records. Many oT Miss .lohimon's points of argument were to a great extent the result of her experiences with college' students who have been hand icnpped by aj wrong Idea, of the value or money, the Inability to spend wisely, or olhers lack in (ruining which have become apparent and have result ed disastrously when thrown on their own responsibility. . , Miss Alice Marqunrdl, the county nurse, closed the nrternoon pro gram with tt discussion of the sub- (Continued on Pago Five) BIG BLOW TO VISIT EAGLES AERIE FRIDAY Fdward W.
