States who holds government position
without a commission of any kind, and
without any formal or official notification

Cheap school Books.

Why is it not possible for those in au-
thority to devise some plan requiring
school superintendents to furnish school
books at actual cost, and not compel pa
rents after each examination to purchase
new books at an extravagant pricep IL
the territory could take the matter in hand
school books could be bought at wholesale
rates with discount. and furnished
to scholars at prices that would not be a
drain on poor mans purse, and
the territory would be none the loser. As
it is now, q child is passed from a
lower to higher class, and is Qiven list
of books to purchase, that makes poor
man look first at the list and then ut the
woodpie and -four sack. Every parent
should take pride in furnishing all needed
books to his children; but he sh ould not be
compelled to pay monopoly prices there
for. IL our legislature could devise ways
and means to accomplish this needed re.
form, it would be of more advantage to
the poorer classes than all the tariff laws

board hopes to remedy this at the next
meeting, to be held at Olympia on the
second Monday in July. The publishers
of the books now in use and competing

"Will the prices of school books oe in.

ION the contrary, | think better terms

the publishers are anxious to get into the
Washington field and there will be lively
competition. Bids will involve not only
perfection in text, quality of material,
illustrations and binding, but the
publishers will be required to
make an even exchange of new books for
those now in use. This they will readily
consent to do, rs five years contract In
this new state, with the probability of an

wolves considerable money. Consequently

so far as the biographies and maps
are concerned, yes. Heretofore this work
seems TO have been entrusted to young
artists in the East who were governed
principally by previous publications. not
taking into consideration the probability
of errors in the original or the changes
naturally occurring in rapidly growing
country. Thus it may have happened
that Spokane Falls could have been easily
mistaken for Kidd postoffice. 90 far as
their relative Importance was shown on
the map, while Seattle had numerous
rivals in its neighborhood and Tacoma
was unknown. This will all be remedied
by the new revision-at least, hope it
will. also hope that the maps will be
extended northward to include the Can.
adian Pacific, and think all the state
boundaries should be taken in,
to show water courses and railway
connections. BY the way, the state sup.
