PROPER SCHOOL. BOOKS.

DEAR SIR Your letter. informing me
that An arithmetic not included in the
books adopted by the Board OF Educa-
ton was being used in schools Of your
district, has been received. l have
thought the subject Of sufficient import
ance to warrant a personal examination
into tho matter; hence the delay in an
swering your letter.
l have examined the books your
teachers wish to use, and am OF the
opinion tina, it is your duty to exclude
them from tho schools under section SO.
subdivision Cd.
The Board Of Education having
adopted series Of text books. the
books so adopted cannot be displaced
by any other books except by the Board
of Education or higher authority.
Books once adopted must be used and
followed until change is ordered by
proper authority. rs much as the law
itself. Teachers might as we'll attempt
TO introduce tho law of some other Ter
ritory or State for their government in
school matters as attempt to adopt and
use some book not adopted by the Board
Of Education. An order once made,
adopting q series Of books and estab-
fishing q certain course OF study, is as
binding upon superintendents and di-
rectors as the law itself The former.
under section 10. subdivision 4th, and
the latter under section 50. are specifi-
cally enjoined by law to enforce the
course of study adopted by the Board
Of Education. To permit teachers to
uso and select such books as their fancy
may dictate will put us back where We
started from before any books were Off.
cially adopted. The result soon would
DO that wo would find every other
teacher requiring children to purchase
some other kind Of book, to the annoy
ance and expense Of parents. II the
books adopted by the Board of Educa-
ton do not cover the ground fully, let
teachers aud superintendent make the
fact known to the Board of Education,
and the matter will receive prompt at
tention. One great object in adopting
these arithmetics was that in two books
was presented nearly the same matter
found elsewhere in from tour to six
books. This was one reason assigned
ms great recommendation Ct the books
by the teachers aud superintendent in
convention assembled at Olympia, on
whose recommendation the Board OF
Education acted in adopting the book.
II directors desire other and higher
branches taught. they can So order, and
for this purpose they may authorize the
use Of such books az to them seems best
but tina. is the only instance where school
officers or teachers have any discretion
in the matter Of selecting books.
This power having been delegated 10y
the Legislature TO tho BOARD Of Educa.
ton. and the Board of Education having
exercised its judgment by selecting a
series II books. no other books can be
used until the order of the Board is re-
vokei Icy competent authority.

With mucn difficulty they drew the
boat up stream for several hundred
yards. and then, embarking, 1oated
down with the blocks of ice, rowing to-
ward the opposite shore whenever they
could slip through and avoid a collision
with cakes of a particularly dangerous
appearance, and so at last they reached
Gallipolis.
Young Allen fastened at once to
Gates Tavern, near the river, and, while
he was taking the hearty meal which
had been prepared for him after the
landlord heard of the extent of his
Journey. he saw fine looking man in
an adjoining room blacking his own
boots. Shortly afterward he was in
formed that the gentleman so engaged
was the Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, who
had recently been elected to congress.
and who was regarded as the great man
of that part of the state. The boy
looked at him with mingled feeling of
curiosity and awe, never for moment
imagining that he would live to serve
with Mr.. Vinton in congress, and to be
his rival at tn bar of Ohio. Such, how
ever. was the fortune which fate had in
store for him.
Leaving Gallipolis, thoroughly rested
and refreshed, the young traveller con-
tlnued on his Journey through Jackson
county. All went well with him for sew
eral days, but on what proved to be the
last night of his wanderings he became
very lame from over exertion. His feet,

when suddenly young man, two or
three years older than himself, came
out of a wood into the road in front of
him, and said, with rather startling ab-
ruptness:
Hello, stranger, where be you
goin'?
"I I'm trying to get to Chillieothe,"
replied the young traveller, "but I've
fallen lame and am not getting on very
fast"
If that is so," said the other. with
the rough and ready hospitality of the
time and country, you had better go
home and stay the night out with our
folks. They don't often see strangers
and they'll like to hear you talk"

as readily accepted-the people of
Ohio were not SO suspicious of each
other in those days as they have be-
come since-and in a few minutes the
foot-sore wanderer was safely housed
in rude but well-warmed log cabin,
containing two rooms, and giving
shelter to man and mis- wife, two
daughters and four sons. All the boys
subsequently became Aliens warm
political supporters. That night they
gave him the best supper they could
and in the outer room
shared their heap of straw with him.
In the inside apartment the father and
mother and their two daughters also
spent the night upon heaps OF straw.
Ii will be remembered this was before
Ohio claimed to be "the political center
of the republic"
In the morning after breakfast, the
good people who had befriended Allen
still further aided him by the loan of
horse, upon which, without further ad-
venture he rode into Chilicothe.

Washing George Washington.
Philadelphia Record, July 9.

George Washington has stood for
many years in solemn silence in front
of Independence Hall, keeping watch
over Benjamin Franklin's novel print
ing press and other choice relics safely
garnered within the walls of the sacred
building where the old bell first rang
out the peals which proclaimed liberty
to the New World. Through summers
neat and winters cold and pelting
storms and bowling blasts the faithful
sentinel has remained in dogged silence
at his post, never once complaining or
seeking shelter from the inclemency of
the weather. Like many another vet
eran who, however, has endured less
exposure in the, discharge of duty,
George was beginning to present wO-
ful appearance from the accumulation
of dust and dirt which had been ground
into his hair and eyes and the folds of
his garments during the years of his
faithful service. and SO Commissioner
of City Property Dixey, in the goodness
of his soul. concluded last week that he
would treat the venerable soldier to
sponge bath, SO as to make becoming
appearance on the Fourth of July.
Accordingly, the services of an ablu-
ZIONIST were secured, and with brush
soap and water the renovatOr Of the
immortal hero began to fulfill his con-
tract. AS the dirt disappeared, and the
original form and features Of the Father
Of his country reappeared, the stains
which had been occasioned through the
effects of the weather, also stood out in
bolder prominence. This fact was OBJ
served by patriotic soul, who imme-
diately rushed up into the mayors
Office, demanding that that officer
should exercise bis high and mighty
prerogative and put stop to it. See
ing the yellow stains on the figure, the
man had concluded it was the work of
acids which the manipulation of the
scrubbing brush had resorted to, and so
made the demand for official interfer-
ence. Receiving no satisfaction from
the mayor, the enthusiastic and mis-
guided patriot threatened all sorts OF
exposures and denunciations through
the newspapers, Of the heartless beings
who were thus deliberately disfguring
the country's savior. But Mr.. DiXey
says there have been no acids used in
cleaning the figure since it was erected.
The stains on it c3-e only such as have
been produced by the action Of the at
mosphere and the effects of drifting
DUST The Commissioner has contract
ed with a n1arbleman for cleaning the

is delicate piece of work, and requires
rare skill. The workmen who will give
George new nose, and carve out for
him a fresh ear are employed constant
ly in cleaning statuary In cemeteries,
and many of these pieces are far more
finely wrought than that in front o In
dependence Hall. 1t will quire about
weeks time fer these two artists to
chisel the dirt and stains from the form
Of the venerated hero, and then he sill
once more be the whitest man in town.
