ACTION In TWO COUNTIES
Greene County Trustees Decide bya Tie
Vote Not to Patronize Becktold.
Superintendent Moss Thinks He Will Bring
Them Around by Mandate-Pike County
Wants Great Supply of Textbooks.

A kindly old gentleman. with counte-
nance as placid as his manner was slow and
uncertain. went into the Office of the SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction yester-
day to inquire about Becktold's, or the In
diana Educational Series The old gentle
man IS trustee in remote township. In

in regard to supplying children with the
new books, but when asked how many he
thought would be necessary for the pupils

piled, II think / will order about 500"

Becktold's Indiana Company of jobbers,
and wants to sustain it ut the expense of
the people. He would have the pupils buy
a double set of the inferior books SO pros

ton day before yesterday to consider the
question CT patronizing Becktold. They
practically decided that they did not want

osition to adopt them was a
tie after warm discussion and several
ballots. The trustees adjourned leaving
the question unsettled. Perhaps this was
brought about by the remarks of DR.. n. X;
I.owder, president of the Bloomfield school
board. He told the trustees that "a geog-
rophy which teaches that White river
starts little north of Spencer Ought not to

An Expensive Experiment.

Kokomo Gazette-Tribune.
The recent school enumeration showed
1856 children and youths of school age in
Howard county. 1t Is fairly probable that
nearly all of these are partially or wholly
supplied with textbooks, and those now in
use are rated on all hands as the very best.
Even the Democratic politicians who seek
to fOist upon the public the new books do
not question the superior merits of the
books now in use. They content them
selves with their oft-iterated asseveration
that these books are expensive. and their
clamor is for cheaper books. Let lis see
how much 1T is likely to cost the patrons of
the public schools of Howard county to
sacrifice the excellent books they now own
and purchase the inferior ones forced upon
them by the new law. Accepting, for the
benefit of this calculation, the estimate
that these books are expensive, 1T Will
probably he fair to assume that the books
now owned by the children and youths in
this county are worth 81 per capita, or ST.,
696. Assuming that the new OUTFIT Will
cost One-half that sum, we have an Ell
forced expenditure of $3,s4 These sums
aggregate 81 ,5+i as the amount of money
sacrificed on the old books and spent for
the new books. This estimate is low, and
probably falls far short of the real cost to
the people of the experiment about to be
practiced upon them.
This unwelcOme and, as we believe, UNI
profitable experience is one that will be
forced upon the people OF this city and
county. While the law exists it must be
enforced at any cost. Let it have fair trial
and give the people, through practical
test of it, All opportunity of passing judy
ment upon 1T whether it shall be continued
or repealed. Their experience the coming
school year will be more valuable in ascer-
tanning the worth of this law than the in

who impugn the motives and assaii the in
tegrity of every man and every paper that
stops to question and consider the matter.
One word of advice the Gazette Tribune
would offer the people, and that is, do not
sacrifice the books now owned at the ride
ulously and ruinOusly low allowance Of
fered for them in exchange. Keep them.
They are worth much more than that to
you. Do not allow the Indiana School
book Company to realize enormously on
them by obtaining your books fer practi-
cally nothing and selling them to second
hand dealers for good round prices.

A POINTED APPEAL

Among the museum freaks of the day is q
man who eats pocket knives. pieces of glass
and carpet tacks. What boon such man
would be in house about house-cleaning
time, eating all the carpet tacks that lie
around loose. There would be none left for
pater familias to pick up with his bare feet.
although it is contended that a man with
bare feet can find more carpet tacks in a
perfectly dark room than the best eyesight
can discover In the glare of daylight. We
keep no tack eating freaks, but we do keep
careful workmen who SO understand the
business of carpet laying that no drawbacks
are left to mar satisfaction. We aim to
employ only experts in every department
of our business
