STATE Treasurer Burnite has made
proper provision for the distribution of
Text Books in the free schools of . this
State under the provisions of the act
of the general assembly of last winter.
The DeIlUGrean in discussing this
topic, which IS an important one to
those interested in the public schools
says
This act was not passed for the pur-
pose of creating u spirit of extrava-
gance or for the purpose of throwing
away money for the books. The act
did not change the school books, and
it contemplated the continued use of
the books now used by the scholars
until they were worn out or unfit for
use. When new books are to be or.
dered the state is to pay for them and
1t is charged up against the dividend
of that school district and will be de-
s; - frSfi the dividend Now the
school fund has increased and the div
idend for this year will be much larger
than heretofore. As an illustration
the Dover public schools received as u
State dividend last year in round num-
bers, 81 700. This year Dover public
schools will receive over 81, 400. If the
resources are properly husbanded and
the scholars are compelled to use the
books they now have until they are
unfit for use, then the addition to the
dividend will more than pay for the
books, and the people and taxpayers
will be that much better off. On the
other hand if extragance is to be the
rule, then the taxpayers will have TO
suffer by that extravaganza The law
leaves the school book question to be
managed by the people. and they
ought to see to it that economy and
not extravaganza is the rule. ' me
people in eacL district gowvarn them
selves and are. responsible for their
aets.-.1t-they are extravagant it comes
out of their dividend from the State.
If they use economy then they gam by
it. They should use economy, and
thereby save themselves from increased
taxation each year.
