Ex-Vayo- '.\i r.ntcly Believes Certain Acts ol ; ,id ..ocncif. of Which he Disclaims Responsibility, to be Illegal Editor County Record: I a the last issae of joor paper I notice you have manifested much anxiety in reference to the receipts and expenditures ef the past adniiniit. at ion. The books are, and have alway been, open to the public. Messrs. M. F. Helkr and John T, NcIsod compose the members of the street committee and contracted for and had the workdorc and expended every dollar; not one paper of any importance was approved by me as inlendanl. The money was paid out by M. K. Levin, treasurer, on order of M. F. Heller and John T. Nelson, and net one cent has ever passed through my hands. If the funds were not judiciously expended, then you must appeal to Messrs, M. F. Heiler and John T. Nelson lor an explanation, I asiotendant having been ignored by the street committee in signing orders on lhe treasurer for the work done,! etc., and I believe tbe money nairi out on the order of the street! committee without the intendant'i approval is illegal, null and void, and that the town by action of the courts conld recover every dime so expended. Now, Mr. Editor, is your opportunity to exercise voyr patriotism a little further ao4 proceed in the matter. The intendaat is powerless to do anything, as he only votes when there is a tie en a question. 80 far as formulating the license fees, the intendant has never been called on to give a casting vote, and all licenses and taxes were approved and endorsed by the council. It (here was a dissenting \ oioe it 1* the first for me. The resolution to borrow $200* was presented by M. F. Heller, and voted lor by J. T. Nelson, M. F. Heller and J. E. Porter. There were members of the out going council who had licenses and did work tor the town and had accounts made out in other parlies' names, and I made an effort to collect the license from the parties whose names appeared on bills presented and discovered they were mere figure heads; when the law distinctly declares it a misdemeanor, with severe penalties, for a sworn officer of a town to accept a job, contract or do any work fur the corporation. n. Review the records and the names can be found. Will yon do it? W. H. Kennedy. CITIZcNS* AID ASKED. To Make the Ensuing tiraded School Sessioa Successful. To the Citizens of Kingsiree: The graded school has begun the session for the coming year, and the teachers ask the people of town to aid them in making this a most successful term. First, we ask that you send your children to school. It is your1 duty to them and to your neighbora. fc?end them the first day and every day daring the session Find out how many minutes are required lor the walk and start them in time to be present at 9 >'clork?not much before, and aone after. Provide books lor them; they cannot work without them. Sometimes the failure ol a child to have a single book makes him lose a year's work and causes him much chagrin and loss; of ambition. Encourage the children. Ask j olten what they are doing and i how they do it. Express vour gratification at any advance they make, and whenever an opportunity presents uselt shov them the i.se of knowlelce of things taught in school. A great many children think a determining motive in having them attend school is to get rid of them during the morning hours. Make all necessary complaints to the principal before making lliem to your neighbor. In dealing with a cla3s sometimes the rights of Ibe individual pupil are 1 over'ooked. and sometimes a teacher misinterprets while in tending to do right. If your rhil< is graded too high, too low, at tempting to do too much or to< W?Me, t,%o comV'ned judgment ? |the ? -el -.rd ^locip^' wil ".v?i : ?ou rr * :.o. t'are full; jexn' ?hr- inont'iiy reporto. I thev a.< t, commend the child ;it bad cor .it the teacher an? ; find a remedy. The teachers will render faith ful and conscientious service Di^oiDline will originate in givini the pupils a proper knowledge o the mutual relations of confidence and respect between teacher an( taught. We cultivate friendliness hut forbid familiarfty. We antic ipate no discourtesy on the par of any one. However, we stan< ready to punish any contempt o authority, in each case, suitiug th< penalty *o the individual. Barents may be confident * ha no poisonous doctrine nor putric prejudice will be tolerated ir school. Children will be taugh to "look through nature unt< nature's God,'' to see the harmony and peace in the right doing o things, and to govern themselve! accordingly. This is our idea ol truth. Wm. W.
