The State Board of Education met yes
terday morning at the Office OF the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, Pro-
fessor Welcker, in the Capitol, all the men,
bers present except Professor More.
Taking up the matter of the new text
books, Professor Allen intimated that he
would introduce a resolution providing
that an entire book be furnished the mem
bers of the Board for revision, instead OF
20 or % pages, expressing his belief that 1t
would not cost much more, and the reyis-
ing could be done more thoroughly and
conveniently. The proposition was aban-
doned, however, on its being explained
that the supply of type in the printing
Office was not sufficiently large to admit OF
so much matter being Kept standing pend
ing the revision.
Superintendent Welcker reported that on
the 9th inst. 152 pages of the Third Reader
had been electrotyped, 112 pages were in
pamphlet form for criticism, 20 additional
pages for copy had been made ready, and
$50 definitions prepared. For the Second
Reader the copy has not yet been sent in
by the donor. The First Reader has been
all printed in pamphlet form, and is wait
ing for illustrations from the artist and en-
grayer. Fifteen pages of the Speller have
been electrotyped, and so additional pages
are in pamphlet form for revision, while
about 100 pages of additional copy have
been prepared. Two hundred pages will
be the limit The Professor stated that the
artists are getting along well with the Illus
trations, and have considerable work ahead
of them.
At the afternoon session Professor More,
who had been detained in consequence of
the trains not connecting in the morning,
was present.
The Board took up the case of Gano
Kennedy, whose certificate has been re-
voked by the Yolo county Board of Educa-
ton for alleged immortality. The Board
went into executive session, and resolved
TO revoke Kennedys life diploma, butte
admit him again to such diploma after he
should have received a certificate from a
county or city Board and had proved
worthy.
The subject of textbooks was then taken
up and sundry bills allowed The basis on
which the cost of text books should be fixed
was then considered and discussed until
time for adjournment, but without definite
action.
