Sec. S. When any change is recommended
by the Board as herein provided, it shall be
only gradual change, not involving any
extra expense to the pupils>of the schools Of
the State, and the direction given by the
Board shall be, that new books hereafter
purchased, as new classes are formed, shall
be those by them selected and prescribed.
Sec. 8. Whenever an exchange of books
shall be made, under the provisions of this
act, it shall be upon conditions with the
publishers of any new book adopted, that
they shall receive all the books in the hands
of book dealers in this State, in good condi-
ton, discontinued by the Board of Education,
and shall allow to the dealers the full trade
value therefor, and shall receive all the books
in the hands of families or scholars in this
State, discontinued by the Board of Educa-
ton, in exchange for the new books ordered
of the same class, allowing therefor the true
value of the same, according as they have OF
have not been used.
1t will thus be seen that the change if
gradual, although we think it will be for the
interest of education in the schools to have
it made as rapidly as possible.

Educational.

A friend has kindly sent US some account
of the meeting of the Board of Education at
Waterbury last week. We print below a
part of his interesting communication, the
remainder being substantially given in anoth
er place Speaking of the law providing for
the selection of textbooks, he says
g This naturally opened question of great
Importance to the cause of education in the
State, but one of still higher Importance to
the makers and vendors of books outside the

efforts to obtain the favor of members of the
Board The contest has been pending three
months, and it has been surprising-not to
stronger term-to see with what eager
ness and tenacity it has been conducted.
have never seen political canvass carried on
with such jealousy and spirit. Members OF
the Board have been waited on at their resi-
dences hailed in the streets and followed to
their places of business, by those in the in
terest of various publishers. In some cases,
they have been approached with significant
suggestions as to the cost of introducing such
and such books.
You will notice on reflection that tn stake
is a grand one-rivaling, well nigh, the
% Crosby Opera House Scheme The pres
ent is the golden moment, and will not re-
peat itself for five years at least | believe
that there are nearly ninety thousand school
children in the State; but suppose there are
eighty thousand. And suppose that it takes
two dollars worth of books per wear for each
child, or ten dollars worth in the five years
Then the books for the eighty thousand chill
dren will cost eight hundred thousand dollars
And granting in this immense trade profit of
twenty-five per cent, you have the snug little
sum Of two hundred thousand dollars
The Board assembled at Waterbury on
Monday of last week, and remained in daily
session until Friday, finishing the responsible
work to which they were appointed. With
- malice toward none and charity for all, =

adoption, and their decision, | doubt not ,
