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

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. .
