An order was passed Monday night by the city
council authorizing the School Committee to
change the Biographies now in use in our schools,
for such other as in their judgment they think
best for the interests of the scholars. The book
now in use is "Onr World" which. while II has
some good qualities, is not suitable for teaching
geography to the grades of scholars in our com
mon schools. A petition to the committee signed
by large number ofteachers and parents, asking
for a change of books, was the cause of this ac-
ton.
The order passed last month TO change the
