miscellaneous notes (2012)

Everyone has a childhood. It may be joyful, unforgettable, or miserable.

"It is very necessary that children should learn, when young, the value and the use of money; they should be taught to spend it, as well as to save it."
"Pocket Money," Godey's Lady's Book (25, April 1879): 98
"O Children! Money-making for the Lord, in the right way, is the most honorable business we possibly do. Now, then, are you willing to try? Hands up, from Maine to California!"
Mrs. O. W. Scott, "Our Mission Band," Heathen Children's Friend (2, August 1891): 94

From Karen Li Miller's 'The white child's burden: managing the self and money in nineteenth-century children's missionary periodicals,' American Periodicals, Vol. 22 No. 2 (2012): 140-57.
