THE SCHOOL snoK QUESTION


The agents Of several school book
publishing houses are making a
mighty effort To secure a change in
the school regulations which w:l. IN
solve change in the text books now
in use in our public schools. OF
course the motive Is purely meree-
nary. Change is desired % that a mar.
ket may be made here for new series
OF books. The agents talk iiuently
and eloquently about advantages TO
be derived from the introduction OF
new books. but the fact il that these
advantages are purely imaginary. The
books with which the school children
OF this territory are nov provided
were compiled especially for use on
the Pacific coast, ard after long prac-
teal trial here, in Oregon, ia Cali
fornia, in Nevada and in Arizona
have been found in the main satisfac-
tory. We are not able to see that any
advantage could result from change,
excepting to various publishers who
have books to sell. The commotion
about school books comes, not from
the parents or teachers OF the terri
tory, but from persons interested
IN the publication and sale of books.
A complete change in the prescribed
series would at this time cost not less
than hundred thousand dollars. Ii
would be an entirely useless tax upon
the people.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1889-07-12

We are informed positively that Mr..
Dexter Horton has decided To cover
bis half block on the north side OF
Cherry street, between Second and
Third, with magnificent business
block. The work OF excavation for
the Third street half of the proposed
building is now in progress ard con-
straction will begin in a few
days. This part OF the
structure will be finished this fall, and
foundations will be laid for the other
half with the idca of building early
next year. The Posr-lSrELIIGEScER
has often before had occasion TO
commend our pioneer citizens
for their spirit in behalf
OF the city. II they are not always
ready to do just what somebody thinks
they ought TO do, il is not because
they lack enterprise or proper inter
est in the city bat on account OF rea-
sons wholly of their own concern. In
every emergency in which Seattle has
been placed, her pioneer citizens have
always been among those to lead the
way. Mr.. Horizons present enterprise
IS but the latest of many in which he
has engaged in years past not more
for his own interest than for the in
terest OF Seattle.
