<p>PARENT OP CHILD — PRESERVATION OP ASSETS— INVESTMENT.</p> <p>1. A father, though he be not tutor of his children, has the right, if they have no tutor, to take the necessary steps for the preservation of their property. Though he be not authorized to receive moneys belonging to them, he may cause said moneys to be brought into court, and provoke their investment in real estate, or the loan of them on a mortgage to be made by order of court rendered on the advice of a family meeting held in presence of the under-tutor.
