Education in Economy #249838

Does it not seem strange that the house wife, in whose care the earnings or income has been placed, knows so little about the meaning of economy? Although she will deny and inconvenience herself by doing without many things which appeal to her personally, in order that it might be possible to have the things which the bread winner and family enjoy. This theory of economy is practiced in the home of the banker, the bookkeeper on a per month salary, the clerk in some department store, and so on down to the poor fellow that earns his wage by manual labor. The smaller the wage the greater the sacrifice on the part of the manager of the home.
