There is but one time in the year when di-
rcctors can adopt new series Of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time Of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section %, Act OF May |, 1854, saws:
That Immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and beferc the opening Of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be u meeting of the
directors or controllers and teachers OF each
district; ut which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon series of school
books, in the different branches to be taught
during the ensuing school year; which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period"
Such is the law, with this exception, that
books cannot now be changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
