To the Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
Noticing an article in yesterdays issue of
your paper sigaed Observer. in which he
undertakes to cri'icise my method of keep
ing accounts with appropriations for the
different departments of our city govern
ment, ask for spate in your columns to
make few comments on his statement.
When the city auditors books came into
my hands, I found among other things, an
unexpended balance of appropriation for
abatements in '92-'93 of S50.47. l allowed
that to stand on the credit side of the &C.
count where it belonged and when the city
council appropriated $50 fer abate-
ments in '93-'94 l added it to the un-
expended balance making SSO0.47. De-
duc,ing from this, $6.76 abatements re-
funded by city treasurer after the tax had
been paid, there remains net unexpended
balance of $193.7l to meet abatements
when same are reported to the auditor by
the board of assessors. | also found the
appropriation for discounts 92, '93, 0ter-
dra,rn S5S3.52 (evidently Observer dicn't
Try to find this item) this sum put on the
debit side of the discount account for 80,
'94, thereby reducing the unexperded bal
ance of appropriation for discounts for the
current municipal year just that amount.
The balances Of other accounts were treated
in the same way, thus taking up the
accounts with the different departments
just where my predecessor left them
and carrying on the work in the manner
which a competent accountant should,
This is the 'jugg!ery" to which Observer
refers. l.
Apparently the whole matter may be
summed up as follows: He has no adequate
conception of what the balance of an ac-
count means anyway. OF what should re
done with it afterit i. found. Perhaps he
,eoagd drop 1t altogether. He may think
long and ponderous record of transac,
ton copied into half dozen different
books, exhaustiDg the patience of every
body who tries to find out anything about 1t,
is good bookkeeping, but the msjority OF
people, believe, would prefer plain,
straightforward, coherent statement of the
fact that any person of average intelligence
can clearly understand.

TRAIN THE CHILD As IT SHOULD CD.
Every Child Should Have Art Portfolios. Tha,
the Worlds Fair Nay Live Forever in
Memory.

In these days the education OF most cl IL
dren is well under way before they enter
school.
School days do not begin as early as in
the last generation.
But the youthful mind from three to six
years of age is sharply bent on knowledge.
There is curiosity to know all about
every thing which must be satisfied.
This impelliag force directs them quite as
often towards the bad as towards the gool
And it is only by careful guidance that
impulses in the direction of the true and
be lutiful prevail.
And the little lives thus cleavs to the
better part and forsake the evil.
But it is always serious question how to
properly employ child's mind.
For employment it must and will have,
either for better or worse.
The youngster wants t, know all about
the outside world, and the first know ledge
in this regard must be furnished at home.
Nothing appeals to the eye and mind so
I
strongly as pictures.
They attract, interest, entertain aud (if
they be good p ctures) are full Of instruc-
tioa.
New, tha. the Worlds Fair is a subjec.
upon which children in every | ONE the
JouRSAL reaches viii require euHghten-
ment.
They have heard and viii continue to
hear about it until they are grown, and will
demand some definite Knowledge of the
great event.
The children who saw the Fair remember
it simply as great composite picture in
which few features like the krupp sun or
the Ferris wheel stood out prominently.
They were hurried along by parents or
attendants, or, if left to themselves, rushed
with feveYish haste here AID there, i'm
PEELED BY both excitement and curiosity
But now that it is all over they will have
continual desire to know rore atout the
actualities of the affair.
In the quiet of home life, either BY the
winter lamp or on summer outing, they
will be afforded ample opportunity to. 80

This is not only proper, but necessary,
as part of liberal education.
1t is for such purpose as this that the
Magic City Art Portfolios Of Exposition
views are altogeth4 invaluable.
Since they afford a complete pictorial
record and descriptive history of the Expo
sition which is at once artistic, interesting
and most instructive.
With the splendid series of 256 views in
possession, every inquiry of the youthful
mind will be abundantly satisfied regarding
an event of which everyone should be thor

And the cost of all this involves only to
bring two coupons and 10 cents for each
