Bradford, VI, Aug. 7th, 1875

Bradford, w., Aug. 7th, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR 81 noticed an ar.
ticle in your last paper on text
books signed w. II. s. As it con.
tanned nothing but misrepresenta-
tons, I think you will allow me a
place in your paper to reply. In
the first place, our citizens are not
generally surprised at the action of
the text book committee in intro.
ducing the Appleton readers.
Those who have examined them are
generally well pleased with them,
The statement that the Franklin
readers were introduced by Supt.
Norcross a few months since, is un.
true. The text book committee con.
sidered the Appleton reader far
superior to the Franklin, and
thought they were enough che aper,
to more than make up the cost Of
the few Franklin readers, now in
our schools.
The assertion that the County
Convention unanimously adopted
the Franklin readers is also untrue,
as every one knows who was pres
ant at that Convention. A major
ty of the Convention voted for the
Appleton readers, until the very
asst, and many had left, when they
lad majority of two or three, for
he Franklin readers. Neither is it
|, fact that the leading towns have
dopted the Franklin readers. The
ext book committee took great
,ains in the examination of the diff
erent text books, and where they
lid not have them, sent to the pub
ishers for them.
II W. Fl. s. will learn to have
some regard for the correctness of
his statements, he will then perhaps
not be ashamed to sign his full
name to his articles. He seems to
be one of the kind who are "Wllling |
10 wound and yet afraid to strike"
