Guardianship of an Estate. 
( Concluded, from pane 1S56.) 
other lawyer was appointed and there is 
no account of one in the final settlement. 
All the heirs entitled to share in the 
distribution of the estate must be cited, 
and if any of these are minors, there 
must be a special guardian appointed for 
them. The surrogate generally appoints 
a lawyer to be special guardian because 
he can better understand the matter of 
settling the estate and can therefore look 
after the interests of the child better in 
a legal way than can its parents. The 
interest of the minor is to be guarded in 
all events. The name of the minor by 
her special guardian should appear in 
the final settlement. 
PROBLEMS OF LIFE. 
A Boy’s Bank Account. 
I have a son 13 years old. We are 
partners in the poultry. lie is saving 
his money. To the present I have been 
his bank, but I do not care to do so any 
longer. I would like to have him put 
his money where it is safe and had 
thought of a savings bank. Are such 
banks perfectly safe or is there something 
botter v I should like to place it so that 
it could not be drawn without my con¬ 
sent if this could be done. My reason for 
not keeping his money are these. I did 
the same for an older son. He took a 
short course at an agricultural college. 
My capital was not sufficient to farm as 
he wished when he returned, and he lost 
all interest. He progressed beyond the 
farm to an automobile, and Xvants his 
money when it is not convenient for me. 
PARENT. 
In this case we should open a joint 
account with the boy in some good sav¬ 
ings bank. Have it arranged so that 
while the account is in the boy’s name 
he cannot draw it, until of age, without 
your signature or agreement. When the 
account is large enough it might be well 
to get the boy to agree to buy a good 
municipal bond or some other standard 
security, or if there is a sound building 
and loan association near by that will 
make a good investment for such a fund. I

Care of the Old Folks. 
A short time ago you mentioned re¬ 
ceiving many letters from people wishing 
to learn how to get rid of caring for the 
old folks. I would like to read some 
of those letters. Home-making to my 
mind includes just such things as that. 
I cannot imagine people who made the 
right kind of home for their children ever 
being turned out to die. I saw the ad¬ 
vertisement of the man with two children. 
I should like to investigate that case. If 
when my present charges have passed on, 
I have sufficient energy left. I mean to 
indulge an old maid’s fancy that she has 
it in her to make a home in which a 
child who will not turn her out to die 
can be reared. farmer’s sister. 
Here you touch a very raw spot in 
life. Yes, we have many letters asking 
if there is any legal way of avoiding the 
care of pa rents. Generally there are sev¬ 
eral children—some richer than others— 
and the poorer oues seek to shift their 
share of the burden. On the other hand 
the thousands of brave and patient daugh¬ 
ters and sisters who give up their lives 
to making the loved ones happy never 
ask questions about their duty or their 
legal rights. We could take you into 
thousands of homes where this womanly 
devotion has become a beautiful thing. 
Interesting a Boy. 
Can you advise me how to start a 
little fellow we have taken from a coun¬ 
ty home for future life? The boy is not 
a farm boy—but I think has a good head 
and be is simply wrapped up in astron¬ 
omy—a thing that seems a bit unusual 
for a boy of bis age. Is there any op¬ 
portunity for him to make a living' that 
way if I encourage it. or would we better 
try to turn his mind toward something 
else for a living, and use that as recrea¬ 
tion or a side study? mrs. w. e. 
It is not likely that such a boy could 
make a practical living at astronomy, 
lie evidently has “a head for mathema-

tics” and studies in that line might be 
encouraged now. We think he will, as 
he grows older, take up some other line 
of thought. We should encourage a fair 
interest in the study but not let him neg¬ 
lect other things for it. Study the boy. 
He will sooner or latter, give evidence 
of some inclination for practical things. 
Then encourage them.
