SHOULD THERE BE AN ACTUAL INVESTMENT ? 



Then, what if anything should be done in the 

 ordinary farm home by way of providing an invest- 

 ment for the growing daughter so that she may daily 

 have some practice in business affairs, as well as an 

 income for use in meeting her personal expenses ? 

 Before attempting to answer this question, let us 

 be certain that we have the correct point of view of 

 the growing daughter's ideal relation to the prac- 

 tical affairs in the rural home. It seems to the 

 author that there is only one safe rule of pro- 

 cedure here and that is, whatever the investment, 

 if there be any at all, it must be understood that 

 the ideal is one of developing the girl into a beautiful 

 womanhood and not one of making the investment 

 pay in the mere money sense of the term. In other 

 words, the business of the farm and the farm home 

 must serve directly the highest interests of the mem- 

 bers of the household, even though money accumula- 

 tions cannot, as a result, go on quite so fast. Or, as 

 we have put it several times before : The farm and 

 the live stock and all that pertains thereto must be so 

 managed as to contribute directly to the development 

 of the high aspects of character in the boys and girls, 

 and not as materials which the growing boys and girls 

 are to help build up and multiply.
