The Superintendent of Public
Schools in one of the liveliest cities
in The far West writes thus OF the
textbook nuisance:
One of the crying evils of the day is
the horde of textbooks, succeeding each
other like the Goths and Vandals; series
Of biographies, grsmmars and arithme-
tics, six deep p" and graded until grada-
| ton is a misnomer. We are no advocate
of the so called "oral system" and be-
lieve thoroughly in good textbooks in
the hands Of good teachers; but the
schools of the whole land are now at the
mercy of publishers, whose interest re-
quires the most books at the highest
price for the least number Of children.
Perhaps it was this annoyance
which caused our Superintendent
to endeavor to do away with text
books altogether. There is just
about as much sense in the one plan
as the other. Use textbooks "six
days." change them twice a year,
give each publisher a chance at
your treasury, and you will do
about as well for the children as
when you endeavor to teach by the
oral system. The one plan is got
ten up in the interest of book pub
fishers and book agents the other
to advance the interest of a class
of blab-mouthed impostorS, who
would talk all your children to
death for seventy five dollars a
month, and make you believe it is
the only true method of teaching
The mean between these two ex-
tremes is the system we must adopt
if we would educate our children,

over their road from the opening Of naviea-

being grain and -four. There was not over
1000 tons Of grain left over from last year,
