A CONFESSION. The President has
sent message TO Congress on the
decay of American shipping. lie
calls attention to the fact that our
shipping, which, before the war, was
almost equal to that of England, is
now one.third less, and is constantly
diminishing. His facts and figures
are not encouraging. Bat then what
can be expected while Grant and his
Satraps continue to tariff, tax and
harass the people and dcvour the

nearly all the County Supervisors who have
canvassed the whole State, and thoroughly
understand and comprehend the condition of
things in this particular is that the State
should take this step. The annual cost en-
tailed upon the people of Maine for furnish
ing needless school books should no longer
be allowed to continue.
DIR. Sturgis of Standish favored uniformity,
and said it is desirable that we decide upon
the matter now, not put it off, as many towns
are waiting to see what may be the action of
the Legislature before moving for themselves.
of Mr.. johnson.
Senator Nealley of York county, fully
agreed with Mr.. johnson. The present con-
dition of the school book question is crying
evil which the State may and should remedy.
Uniformity of text books in our schools is not
only desirable from financial but from an
educational point of view.
Hon. Nelson Dingley of Lewiston, said
that ever since as teacher in rural school,
he had observed the confusion and extraor-
tAPeHsS Va sShooA ooohSf hS htu uSSH
satisfied that State uniformity ought to be
had. Cities are able to preserve town uni
formity, but the great body of the small towns
are not. Generally speaking there is not
great difference in the ext-books; and there
is no reason why there should be such d.
versity in towns of the State, when that diver
sity entails so much expense on the public,
generally, and especially on families remov-
ing from one place to another. Let the State
invite the various publishers to compete for
the trade of the whole State for five years,
and he did not doubt that tens of thousands of
dollars could be saved to the people, and the
confusion now existing be avoided. Traders
would find it immensely to their advantage
not to be obliged to keep on hand such d.
versity of books.
Several other gentlemen favored uniform
ity. The cry is coming up from the people
all over the State for legislative aid to save
them from the annual tax for unnecessary
school books, and law for uniformity for a
term of years, will be received with much
satisfaction.
Another hearing upon the question will be
had this (Tuesday) evening, and as it is a
public hearing the committee cordially invite
all interested to attend. ON.

UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS.

At the last hearing before the Committee on
Education, the discussion upon the question
of State uniformity of school text books was
continued, and strong arguments were brought
forward in favor of the plan by the friends of
the measure.
Mr.. johnson, State Superintendent of
Schools, reviewed the arguments, positions,
&C., of the speakers against uniformity at the
previous hearing, showing that they were all
interested parties and therefore not competent
to give correct opinion or know or express
the wishes or needs Of the people in the mat
ter. Those of them who were not book
agents or interested in the sale or publication
of some work, were employed as counsel by
the opponents of the measure. He showed
plainly by letters, reports Of committees,
teachers, &c., that those who thought they
represented the educational interests Of their
towns in opposing uniformity before the COM
mittee, were mistaken in the public feeling
upon the matter.
He then presented an outline of his plan to
secure uniformity of school books throughout
TIC Ctdtcsf nc PioPoecS thos q SohiiliSoioh Va
seven be appointed by the Governor and
Council to receive proposals from book pub
fishers, for furnishing their series of readers,
arithmetics, Biographies, &C., to the schools
of the State for five years; and that such COM
mission, taking into consideration the terms
offered and quality, decide upon the book to
be used, and make contracts with the several
publishers to furnish the same at wholesale
for such term of five years to the various
dealers, &c., at fixed rates, which he says will
be at least 40 per cent. under present whole
sale rates. Towns, however, that have adopt
ed any series of books within FIVE years, are
not required to change; only when they do
change they must adopt the uniform series.
Superintendent johnson made lengthy ar
gument in support of State uniformity, saying
that school books cost the people of the State
at least 8l35, 900 year, and that more than
3d., 900 of this amount could be saved in ex-
pense of books by State uniformity, and that
Vermont saved more than that proportion.
In addition, the large expense for new books
which is now entailed upon families removing
from one town to another, would be abolished.
Town uniformity can be generally secured
only by State uniformity. The experience of
