The New York Anti Monopoly League
advises the people to support the
newspapers which advocate their in
terests, and to leave those severely
alone which are run in the interests of
monopolists and offlce-holders. This
is sensible advice which the people
will be benefited by needing.

Mr.. RosENBERGER,
Dear Editor: l have just been
reading Mr.. Moore's articles on Pen.
manship,in the Educational Column"
of the r. f. JOURNAL.
am glad that this subject is being
brought to the notice of the teachers
of our common schools, for it is one
of the branches that has been sadly
neglected in the child's education.
Since "'Written Exercises began to
prevail In our schools, the child is
taught writing almost as soon as 1t
has learned the alphabet; that is, they
are taught the form of the letters,
simply, and the manner of combining
them into words, without any refer
ence to the principles that make up
their formation or the proper position
of the pen and hand, the body, or the
material upon which they are formed,
so as to execute them with ease,
and at the proper angle. Then
they are crowded with exercises to be
written out in the shortest time posi-
BILE, without paying any regard what
ever to the execution; the result is a
scrawly, scraggly chirograph, If
they possess an artistic eye md
taste for the beautiful, they are allow
ed to pick up letter here and anoth-
er there, as suits their fancy, from
different styles of penmanship. which
they attempt to combine and which
usually make a conglomerous mass.
void of any regularity, or system.
1t is not my intention to write an
article upon Penmanship. as that has
been so ably treated by Mr.. Moore, but
| wish to bring to notice its colleague,
Bookkeeping, branch of study even
more neglected than penmanship.
While it is not supposed that every
child who attends district school, will
become a professional book-keeper it
is nevertheless true that every person,
as he passes through lie, Will nave
some business transactions that he
will find it necessary, or at least great
ly advantageous, to record; and also
of great Importance that such record
should be made Systematically and in
diligently. Bookkeeping is system
attic record of business transactions.
How many long and expensive law
suits would be prevented if the par
ties had been taught, in their school
days, to make clear, concise record
of their transactions in business!
