itself did not create any wealth. The
dollar bill was merelythe medium of
exchange of value. It did:, not in-
crease its value in any sense. It was
till a one -dollar bill. The twenty-
seven dollars were created by the
twenty-seven men. And just, so,

wealth, this would be a poor world

childhood from six to twelve, and the
adolescent period from twelve .years
to' manhood. The trying time in the

stage -the 'street\ gang' stage. This
relaxation is not intentional on the
part of the parents, it is only that the

go with him. In k way the gang spirit
is legitimate, but the father should
in spirit go With, the bey and the
