THERE is trouble in Indiana over the
school-book question, the business hav-
ing gotten into the hands of trust. So
much aggravation has ensued that 1t is
proposed to close the schools until the
state can furnish its own books. The
New Hampshire legislature, now in
session, is considering the question of
free textbooks in the public schools.
That plan. OF the furnishing of the
books by the state at nominal rate, is
growing in favor in the country. The
state requires the parents to send their
children to school, and it is insisted
that it should equip them for service as
it does the conscript in the army. The
experience seems to be that the books
are procured by the state at much less
expense than by the individual. Re-
strictions are imposed, as in the case of
books taken from public Libraries, and
small losses ensue.
