The Republican journal., 1870-02-10
a NFFDEp REFORM.

We see that a bill is before the Legislature
which provides for an uniform system of
school books throughout the State. The
idea is an excellent one and such q law should
be at once passed. The present method OF
supplying school books is little less than
swindle on parents, and bears especially
hard upon those with many children and
small means The business of making and
selling school books is very profitable-sutfi-
GENTLY so to enable houses engaged in the
business to retain active, energetic and some
times INSCRIPTIONS men, to push out the
books of rivals and push in their own. They
bore the teachers, humbug or bride commit
tees, and make themselves nuisance to all
having anything to do with the management
of schools A town or district, for instance,
adopts a certain series of text books, and
after much trouble and expense the pupils,
OF the school are brought into uniformity
In ayear or 50, those who adopted that series
90 out of office. and some smooth-tongued
agent of another publisher, prevails on the
new committee 10 make a change. The
| DOCKS are dS gOOQ rs new, anu "ottl't Wv SCI
vice for another generation, while those that
are to dispace them are no better But
there is 10 othef alternative than to take
children from school, or eXpend another sum
that can be lily spared, and comply with the
new rules And then there is no assurance
that another year may not bring another
change.
A law can be framed which shall leave the
selection IF the best books with 4 committee
of able and honest mon, whose decision shall
be for ali the public schools Of the Stale. Let
the competition and discussion Of merits be
before them. And when the selection is
made let that be the end Of the matter for Il
reasonable time. This method would proba-
bly, divert some thousands Of dollars in
profits from the purses of publishers, but
it would keep the money in the pockets Of
the people, where ii belongs. 1t is in behalf
of parents, who half suffered long in this
matter, that we speak.
