Will Decline to Purchase.
Afuncie T

Muncle Times.
Several of the trustees of this county
have been notified by the patrons of the
schools that they (the patrons) are fully
supplied with school books. and that they
will positively decline to make purchases
of the new books. In this dilemma the
trustees are at a loss to know how to order,
and if compelled to do so will make their
orders very light. The law may compel the
trustees to order the books, but the trustees
have not the power to compel school pa
irons to purchase them.

The School Law and Politics.


1t is exceedingly unfortunate for the
schools that the new school law just going
into effect is involved in politics. 1t was
introduced and voted through the Legis-
lature as a party caucus measure. This
prevented free discussion and amendments,
and it also had the effect to call to it's sup
port all the members of the party intro
ducing it without regard to individual
opinion, and TO array against it the men,
bers of the other party without regard to
the merits of the law. This is true
of all .'caucusr legislation. 1t is true with
out regard to party and without regard to
the subject under consideration. Had this
law gone through the Legislature as an
ordinary law the division of Judgment i'm
regard to it would not have been on party
lines and the feeling both for and against
it would have been very much less intense
A general change of books, without re-
gard to the merits of the law or the merits
of the books introduced. always brings
more or less confusion and embarrassment
TO both pupils and teachers. and when we
add to this a bitter partisan feeling on the
part of parents the effect upon the schools
must inevitably be bad.
