Helping The Boys.

To help boys receive an education, the em

ployment bureau of the Spokane high school tries

to obtain jobs for lads who need financial assist

ance. The semi-annual report of J. O.' Ecker, head of the department, comments thus:

"The total earning capacity of these 185 boys

is $706 a week. The boys are employed at jobs

all the way from playing the piano, at dances to

clerking in hotels.

"One boy, a Japanese, has been employed dur

ing the winter months as a translator and has ti v,TiTcd $5 a week since the opening of school. Many of the boys are employed delivering papers and several clerk in Spokane stores on Saturdays and after school is dismissed. Eight of the boys work for their room and board and this is figured at $5 a week in making up the report." Pay-Up-Week. "Pay-Up-Week" which started at Waukon, Iowa, last year is now being taken up enthusiastically by cities throughout the country. So many inquiries come to Charles F. Pye, secretary of the Commercial club and a prime mover in the first "Pay-Up-Week" ever known that he has written a letter describing the plan. In part, it is as follows: ' : . "Pay Up Week as we carried it on was planned with two ideas mainly in view. First to remedy a bad case of credit accounts. Second to assist in building up a community habit of annual settlement. Incidentally it caused merchants and others to see the value of a community organization in such work. . "The method of procedure was very simple. The first move was to enlist the merchants themselves. If they are not dead in earnest any-effort will fall flat. Having secured their co-operation the next step was a census of the book accounts. The secretary of the club went to each merchant and asked him for the number of book accounts being carried.. Based upon these figures we had a little slip printed which was to be enclosed with the statement of account to each customer. Care

must be taken to prevent the Commercial organization from becoming a collection agency. - "The next move was an appeal through the newspapers to all debtors to settle. In ordered keep it on as high a plane as possible little was said about the prize feature of the week. The appeal was to honesty and square dealing. First, credit abuse is responsible for his prices, and to some extent for the differences in price between a catalogue house and the local merchant. It is unfair to growl about high prices when you owe every man in townl Second, abuse of credit is responsible for the lack of progress in affairs.

Put what is owed the merchants of any town into the course of trade and see what possibilities are

opened up. $50,000 in the hands of the business

men of a small town makes quite a difference in

their attitude toward all movements for the im

provement of the town. Third, every man should once a year at least get square with himself and his neighbors. Be able to look the whole world in the face and say T owe not any man At least to make a settlement. Other motives were ap

pealed to among which was 'you expect to pay

some time, why not now and perhaps win a prize.' "The window advertising was in the form of large cards calling particular attention to the $50

in prize money to be paid during the week to

those paying their accounts. On the first day of the pay-up-week we were very careful to have all merchants,. etc., settle with one another. The first move was to set the pace and when farmers and mechanics saw a general movement among

the merchants to settle with one another, they

realized that the movement was undertaken as a

settlement day and not a means of inveigling the farmer into some scheme. "On payment of an account in full, the cus

tomer was given a ticket which was made in duplicate so that each merchant held a duplicate of all tickets given out. This ticket was the chance

on the prize money. At the close of the week a drawing was held and the lucky individuals were mailed checks with the thanks and appreciation of the Commercial Club. "The week netted over $50,000 to the merchants immediately concerned and many .others paid as a matter of sentiment that we could get no clue of. It was a success because the merchants took hold of the matter earnestly and followed up the plan Those that did not, got small and slow returns. That our appeal was correctly directed was evidenced by the number of men

from long distances that would come o town, go

to the bank and draw out a large amount, go from merchant to merchant to settle and then straighten up and say as I heard one of them. 'There, I don't owe a dam'd .person in the world." The tickets are a great help and the worst offenders do the most good. Some men will have a whole handful of tickets and exhibit them proudly, saying that the big money is coming to him and remarks of the same kind."
