A Suggestion Concerning School Books To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The articles recently published in regard to the new school speller brings up the ques tion is our system of selecting and changing school text books the best?
 Each of the 1e7 towns in the State elects g board of school visitors and each board se- lects and adopts the text books tor the schools of the town so that there may be so many kinds of school books used in the State as there are towns, provided there are as many publishers.
 These books are changed at the pleasure of the school visitors. Families moving from one town to another often have to lay aside several sets of nearly new books and purchase those used in the schools of their new residence. For instance, family with four school chiI- dren moving from New Haven to West Ha- ven would have to pay from eight to fifteen dollars for new school books to fit their chill dren for schools which, to poor man, is 8 great, and partly at least, unnecessary bur den. Would it not be be better to have uni form textbooks for all the towns. selected by a competent State Board, and not changeable oftener than once in five to ten years? s.

THE BOARD OF EnUGATI0N.

The meeting of the Board of Education last evening was very interesting one, and made more apparent than ever the necessity for decided change in the Board. The proposed new rule forbidding the assessment for political purposes of those connected with the school system was not adopted. Five members of the Board did not hesitate to vote against the proposed rule. Thy were Messrs. Zunder, Peck, Strong, Harrison and Plunkett. Three voted for it-Messrs Graves, Bennett and O'Brien. We call the special attention of our readers to this rec ord. It ought to be and will be remembered.
 There was considerable loose talk by sev- eral members of the Board which indicat ed that they are growing restive under the criticism which is bestowed upon them This is a good sign. Perhaps by and by they will pay some attention to what the public want. Of course it is presumptuous for any of the newspapers to say anything calculated to disturb their lofty peace and serene satisfaction with themselves, but this is a presumptuOus age.

III WE KNEW.

II we know tho woe aud heartaohe,
Waiting for US down the road,
II our lips could taste tho NORWOOD
II our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste to-day In wishing
For time that ne'or could beY
Would We wait In such impatienee
For our ships TO come from scar
II We know the baby fingers
Pressed against tho window pane,
Would be stiff aud cold tomorrow,
Noyor trouble us AGAIN
Would tho bright Dyes OF our DARING
Catch the frown upon our brow
Would tho print OF rosy fingers
vex US then M they do nowf
Strange wo never prize tho music,
Till the swoet-yoiced bird has flown,
Strange that We should slight tho Niolets'
Till the lovely flowers are gonei
Strange that sunny skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair,
Az when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down IN the air.
Let US gather up tho sunbeams,
Lying all along our path.
Let us keep the wheat aud roses,
Casting out tho thorns and chah,
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of today,
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way,
