Some of these communications have been naue

however exorbitant, beyond the control OF either
town or State.
It is said that old books be sold. So can old
clothes, rags, umbrellas and broken ware Old
books will not bring the price even Of old rags
The fact that almost every house in the State has
its cupboards closets, shelves and garrets more or
less filled with old books would scem to indicate
that they are not very marketable. The strong
opposition to this comes partly from honest
opinion but mostly from book outside Of the
State.
In brief then advocate State uniformity Of text
books for the following reasons:
LIST. Attempts at town uniformity have failed ~
. State measure.
I'd. State uniformity has not failed. Maryland
abandoned it for extraneous cause.
3d. The best educators agreed as to its desi'a-
6i!ny.
4th. The people and teachers Of Maine, the gen.
erai press. s. S. Committee and Board Of Education
demand it Only two or three cities really oppose
it.
5th. Other States are moving in this direction.
9Th The saving thereby to tho scholar in time,
and to the teacher in efficiency will be 1t least one

friend to education. He did not propose to
defend himself as far as this went, but would
refer to his record in his own town, He was
friend to education and he knew that if this
resolve is passed that there are many petitions
in the pockets of various gentlemen in this
House which would be presented tomorrow
and he did not hesitate to say that every one
of them has as good cause as Wilton Acad-
envy or Pittsfcld.
Mr.. BAKER argued in favor of the resolve.
A high school is needed in that section, and
the Normal school at Pennington does not
accomplish this purpose because it is for the
education of teachers. There is a space be.
tween the Normal school and the common
schools, and he understood this class of insti.
tutions TO fill that space. They claim small
appropriation to enable them to lift mortgage
from their property, and if it passes under the
mortgage the whole institution must 60 down
and that county looses benefits. He called
the attention of the House to the fact that it il
a Constitutional duty to endOw these institu.
tons just as much as to pay any officer of the
State. Surprising the appropriations referred
to by the gentleman from Cherryfield are
granted, Houlton 1000, Wilton 5000 and the
one already granted with one or two others
which is all that will be asked for this session.
as far as we know This amounts to $l4,.
600 to be drawn from the Treasury this year
The gentleman from Cherryfeld tells us tina,
the great State of Maine is not able to do this
He had reasons for believing that the valua-
ton of this year will be not less that two
hundred and fifty millions. This would make
the tax for this $l4 800, small indeed, and he
could not understand why complaint should
be made.
The gentleman from Cherryfeld says, wal
until we are out Of debt. The debt is eight
millions, and our annual expenses are a mil
lion and a quarter. Does the gentleman pro-
pose to lapse back into barbarism and STOP
the wheels of education until this debt is al
paid? He asked when the gentleman pro
posed resuming this great constitutional duty
after laying it aside.
