The greatest grievance that has
bofallen parents of school children
in past timos is the numberless
changes in text books, and the ne
cessity for buying a now outfit
whenever their children were sent
to a now school. Any plan that
will prevent this drain on the pa .
rental pocket"book is greatly to be
desired. Tho aim of tho public
school system is, while securing
uniformity Of education, also to So
cure uniformity of text books !; and
with Wow to tho latter, Tho Logis-
lature has authorized tho State
Board of Examiners to select q
series which shall be in use ovor tho
whole State for at loast five years.
