Free Text Books.

The average annual cost of text books for each
pupil OF Central District is more than s.. In this
estimate no allowance is made for changes which
may occur to increase the cost, and no account is
made of writing or drawing books. states, pencils
and paper Individual cases might be cited where
the cost is nearly double the amount above named.
We have previously shown that the average cost
per pupil need not exceed one dollar, which would
make an annual saving to the district of from S900
to $1,000: and while taxes press as heavily as they
now do, this is no insignificant sum to save
The amount saved WILL Of course depend upon
the average attendance, and the manner in which
the changes made. 1t the present condition
OF our schools is as ourshing as generally report
ed, the text books now III use ought to be giving
pretty good satisfaction and the continued use of
majority of them, to be considered desirable.
If this supposlton is correct free text books can
be supplied to the district at a cost Of from 1900 to
800
1t can be done in this way At the beginning
of the school year. all pupils who have been rcgu-
lar attendants are promoted to higher classes, and
will need new books Let them understand that
If they will give their old books to the district
that the district will in return, furnish them the
free of text books for their advanced positions
The books OF the higher classes thus becoming the
property of the district, will be handed down to
be us-d by the classes Of their grade until worn
out, instead of being packed away in closets and
garrets, as so much waste paper. Many poor pa
rents who can i'll afford to meet the annual ex-
penses of text books prefer to let their children
remain out Of school rather than incur this OK
pense Our truant classes are thus quite as large
as some of our schools. Under the free text book
system this need not be. We hope that this sys,
tenn will be thoroughly discussed at the district
meeting. and that efficient truant off Ger will
be appointed.

Judge Tourgee has trenchant article

cries OF the So-caled civil service reform

do not agree with him must, at least. re-
Spect HIM. In the present instance he

You'd the pale of responsibility from the

But the public will probably look at the
matter differently. Every one familiar
with the work in the departments at Wash
ington knows that this civil service re-
form scheme, whatever it may be in the
DRY, does not answer in practice Two
of its features the one to prohibit pub
lie officers from any participation in pc
litical matters, except to vote, and the
other to create a life tenure-are con
demned by Judge Tourgee as equally OBJ
jectionable and un-American. The peo-
pie Of the country will not consent to the
creation of an office holding class, nor
that freedom of political action should
be forbidden to those holding office.
They expect and should exact, however,

The Republicans secured the organza-
ton of the United States Senate by
a slender majority deciding vote of
the Vice President being necessary to
turn the scale. There is reason to be-
lieve, however, that the public business
will proceed smoothly for all that. There
is courtesy and dignity existent in the
Senate, found in no other legislative body
in this country, and which is averse to
mere factious opposition. Such men as
Senator Hill of Georgia, are an exception
to the rule, and are not sustained by
their own party.

The reception to eX Senator Hamlln
by the citizens of Bangor on Thursday
evening last was a notable occasion, as
will be seen by the details we publish
elsewhere. This spontaneous and gener-
Gus welcome from his fellow citizens must
naturally have been most gratifying to
the recipient, and all will agree that it
was worthily bestowed. Having now re-
tired from public life after Il service Of
more than two score years, during which
he has attained high honors and lived a
life free from stain or even a breath of
scandal, those who have politically OPP
posed Mr.. Hamlin in the past are free to
testify their respect for the worth and
ability of the man. and have done so. In
politics Mr.. Hamlin has been a stalwart,

he has been, under all circumstances. a

the interests, and prompt to defend, his
