the late John Wentworth. One that has

Mr.. T. II Randall the popular manager
OF the Portland poor farm was in the citv
Saturday in charge of patient for the In
sane Asylum. While here he made a visit
to our poor farm. 10 conversation with
Journal reporter he expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Wsldron was Obliged to work alto
gether too hard and that she should be fur.
nished with competent assistant. Both
myself and wife have assistant. at Portland.
be said Indeed We should not be able to
get along without them Mrs Waldron is
splendid woman but the amount Of work
she is doing in addition to the duties of over
seeing the various departments
OF so large an establishment is
too much for any woman. think
If the attention of your oyerseers were called
TO this. they would see that a competent as
si,tant was proyided-one thoroughly capable
of taking charge Of the establis hment in case
Mrs Waldron should be called away for a
few hours. It's useless to look for such an
assistant among the inmates. My experience
has taught me that inmate help is neither
satisfactory nor profitable, and in such a
responsible position as that of assistant they !
would never 10 in the world. They change |
TOO often and hen their relations with the |
other inmates makes it impossible for them |
to have any authority whatever
with their associates" Mr. Randall is a gem
teman OF long experience in the manage
ment of poor farm. and has been very sue
cessful in it. His opinion on this little mat
ter was expressed in the course OF long
and with no idea that it would |
be published. His opinion, however, gives
emphasis to that entertained by many visitors
at our poor farm. We certainly consider |
that the institution is fortunate in such man
agers as Mr.. and Mrs Waldron, and that the |
ma,ron of so large an establishment with its
many and varied cares, should not be left |
without a competent assistant.
