Many parents have adopted the practice of open
ing a small bank account for their children on their
first birthday, and thereafter depositing a certain
sum each birthday, also any gifts of money received
by the child. ■ - .
It is a splendid practice. By the time the child,is.
old enough to earn small sums the bank account is of
some moment; the habit of thrift is established and
the desire to accumulate is stimulated.
Such bank accounts build character as well as sup
ply financial aid in time of stress.
