One of the most irritating things

One of the most irritating things
connected with the management
of our school affairs is the frequen-
cy of the changes made in the text
book. AS most of the changes are
totally unnecessary, and uncalled
for, the natural deduction Is that
there is usually a job in the thing.
Those changes are not only confu-
sing to both teachers and pupils,
but impose serious and unwar-
ranted tax upon the parents of
the children. The fact that Mr..
Nicholson Is q citizen of this State
and Messrs. IIansell & Co. run a
-prlntlng shop Heresss-g,sen as a
valid excuse for placing the whole
community under contribution
SIMPLY to reward them for honor
Ing us with a residence here. This
text book changing business has
grown to be more than a nuisance.
In some cases it operates as
bar to the poorer classes of chill
dren attending school at all. They
must either buy the school-ring's
books or stay at home. What a
farce they contriye to make of SO
called "free education 70 Ifthey
the members of the school board,
were honest, they would abolish
such superhuous appendages as the
fancy High schools, and lop off a
lot of useless dead-head ornamental
officials, and apply the money that
IS at present squandered upon them
toward advancing the cause of pop
ular education. And one of the
surest means of accomplishing that
desired end would be to make our
public schools free IN fact as well
as In name by furnishing text books
and all other necessary school par
aphernalla free to the pupils. Ev-
en- If there could still be jobs in the
thing, the tax would be more even
ly distributed amongst the whole
community, aud not as 1t is now,
solely upon the shoulders of par
