POLITICS AND SCHOOL BOOKS.

The Sacramento Union favors the
election of Bolander for Superinten-
dent Of Schools of California and
assigns among other reasons the fol-
lowing:
The people ofthe country desire to
have the history of the nation read
and studied in the schools, and they
insist that the spirit of patriotism shall
not be smothered, that the germs of
loyalty shall not be allowed to rot in
soil hat should produce a thousand
fold. And to CRAFTY this desire, TO
carry out their wishes, they want no
more of Eitzgerald's domination OF
our schools.
We infer from this that the Union
wants 2 change made in the school
books used in that State, and that
this endorsement in advance of books
designed to teach Republican poll
ties to the children indicates the
disposition of Mr.. Bolander, if elect
ed, to use his office for that base
purpose. That the school books
adopted by the present ]Superinten-
dent of California are unexceptional
in tone and teaching is evident from
their recent adoption in the State of
Nevada, on the recommendation of
the present Radical State Superin-
tendent of Schools. There a be
no excuse for the change favored by
the Union other than those growing
out OF political prejudicas, or the
interests of spectators in school
books. The Union has had much to
say about taxation, but it seems that
it does not hesitate at the very be-
ginning Of the new lease Of power
of its friends to advocate an unnec-
essarv, sweeping taxation through
out every school district in the
State. The Union may indulge in
these denunclations Of an officer who
has performed his official duties so
well that even Mr.. Bolander gave it
his written endorsement, butparents
of children to be educated Will be
likely to take 4 note of the fact that
a change of Superintendent involves
more expense for new school books.
