he says in this interview with The Nashville

injure the cause OF public education in the
State by the passage OF the proposed uni

bill upon the people would iniure the
schools. II would tax the children Tor the
support Of special publisher and would
make the State u partner in the school
book business by shutting out the gener-
Gus competition and rivalry that
now is iostorod by the separate
action OF tho County Superintendents
and Trustees and 1t would disgust
