SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS.

EDS. RECORD UNION Your evening con-
temporary has an editorial upon the PROPOSE
ton to change textbooks in the city schools,
but does not tell all the truth. No doubt
agents of parties interested in not making
changes are here, as well as those who wish
to make change, and both have the same
object in view, viz: money. To accomplish
their ends, both will use money il the same
manner as in days gone by. Is the Bee OPP
posed to a change because it is in favor of
the text books now in use and because Of
their superiority over all others, or simply
because any change will cost money? Why
not call upon tie gentlemen from the First,
Second and Third Wards, as well as from
the Fourth Especially ask the hold-overs
to state how they stand upon =" this all-inl-
portaRt question" PARENT.
