"The situation U puzzling. It Is s fact that almost every child brings money to school. Many of them have only s cent to buy a doughnut or s stick ol candy, but others carry surprisingly large lutne. Not long ago the chargee of theft were so frequent In my room that I tried to stop this universal carrying of money. I asked the mothers not to give their children money during school hours, except In easel where it was really needed to buy luncheon. Many of them promised t cut off the allowance, but the small colni continued to circulate Just th same. A few mothers declared thal they gave the children money for zaf keeping. I learned that one girl la my class came to school day after day with from 20 to 30 pinned la he) clothes.
