How John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Trains His Children in Order That
in Time They May Manage Their Inheritance of Many Millions
By EDWARD M. THIERRY.

NEW YORK. July 10.—John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., regards bringing up
his children as one of his most en
grossing and important tasks.
"I regret the passing of the old
fashioned woodpile,” he says. “I
| have failed to find a, modern equiva
j lent of the woodpile 1 of my father's
: boyhood.”
Thus began the first interview Mr.
Rockefeller has ever given cn this
human subject. He discussed for
NEA Service his ideas on family
j finance and the problem of children.
! He did not pretend to be telling what
j other people should do with their
children; he simply agreed, at my re
quest, to discuss some of the prin
ciples he felt he was duty-bound to
put into effect in training his own
children.
Too Much Hurts
“Wealth,” he said, "hurts children
when they get too much of it. Just
because a man can afford to hire peo
ple to wait on his children is no rea
son why he should do it. I don't.

ENTERTAINMENT
NOT UNDER RULE
OF COUNGILMEN
City Attorney Holds Body Has
No Power to Prohibit Park
Amusement.
RULE MAY SAVE THEATERS
Vote on Open Air Shows Runs
About 95 Per Cent in
Favor.
The city council hcs no power to
prohibit any kind of entertainment
in public parks unless it is immoral,
and so it cannot touch the municipal
open-air theaters, Corporation Counsel
Taylor E. Groninger has ruled, Mayor
Shank said today.
This ruling may be the means of
saving the theaters.
The mayor said he would veto the
ordinance prohibiting expenditure of
public money on professional theatri
cals in parks and go right ahead with
the theaters whether the council over
rides the veto or not.
Ballots published in newspapers on
which citizens may vote for or against
the retention of the theaters are pour
ing into the mayor’s office. No com
plete tabulation has been made, but
it was said the vote runs about 95
per cent in favor of the theaters.

| policeman drew a gun on “someone

the mayor to make the statement, he
said.
“It is my intention to see that both
parties to the strike receive the full
benefit of the law,” the mayor said.
Twenty More Walk Out
j Twenty more men walked out In a
body from the Beech Grove shops and j
attended the strikers' meeting at
Machinists’ Hall in their overalls,
carrying lunch pails, L. V. Hart,
strike leader, said.
Rollins Stock Dangerous
Hart said strikers continue to re
ceive reports from engineers and flre
! men that rolling stock is in such con
j dltion they fear to ride on It and they
! had asked union officials to call on

I think many modern children are

mastery that are essential in the so

Woodpile Helped Father
"That's what I mean about the
woodpile. My father had to chop
wood and do the milking. He proba
bly didn’t Jike doing the chores any
better than most boys, but he ac
quired the habit of doing things he
didn’t like to do; his will was trained,
and it helped him cope with other dif
ficulties.”
Mr. Rockefeller has six children,
five of them boys. In age they are
from 6 to 18. They are being taught
thrift and the value of money.
“Everybody knows that one of the
things which is wrong with the world
is extravagance,” he says. “Extrava
gance hurts character. It is a man’s
duty to civilization to be thrifty.
Whether a man can afford lavish
spending isn't the point; it is wrong
not to spend wisely whatever is spent,
whether a man can spare the money
or not.”
Should Keep Accounts
, Families and individuals—chij
dren, too—should keep accounts of
I the money they receive and spend,

"At seven or eight my children each

Allowances Limited
These allowances never exceed a
dollar or two dollars a week at the
most, until the age of 15. By then,
Mr. Rockefeller considers, a child
that has been properly trained ought
to be able to handle his own finances.
So the allowance is increased to cover
all expenses outside. of keep, educa

clothes, fares, if traveling alone, en

Five Cents An Hour
Mr. Rockefeller smiled over an ex
periment he tried.
"I was brought up to do things that
needed to be done, whether I liked
them or not.” he sail. “At seven
years of age I began playing the
violin, and I used to get five cents an
hour for practicing. But that sort of
thing doesn’t work these days—or at
least the standards are Even
with children. Five cents an hour
isn’t an inducement any more!
"But I do pay wages for errands
and chores. If a child honestly works,
he earns such pay. It stimulates the
desire to work. I used to get 15 cents
an hour for sawing wood. But these
days it's different. Down in the
country we have wood hauled to the
house. My boys and I load and un
load it, and I pay them for the job.
Yes. the scale is higher than 15 cents!”
Schools Fail to Teach
Schools do not taaoh thrift and
