Free Books in Country Schools.

Mr.. Editor Please allow me to say a
few words through the columns of your
paper in regard TO the use of free text
books in our public schools.
The law forbids any pupil retaining his
books through vacation and so makes it
impossible for that pupil to study or re-
view the lessons he learned, and so keep
them fresh in his memory until the begin
ming of another term.
This law is we'll enough in the city
places where they have school ten
months out of twelve. for there the schol-
ars get all the instruction they need with
out studying outside the school-room.
But in lots of the small country towns.
where there is not a large number of
scholars, a school cannot be afforded more
than eighteen or twenty weeks in a year.
and where there is no school from Noyem-
Der to April, great many of the scholars
forget much that they learned where, if
great deal might be learned through the
winter, so that instead of going back over
the same ground when the next term be-
gins, they can commence where they left
of or even ahead.
| think the lawmakers Of the State
ought 10 bear in mind some OF these
things while making the laws. suppose
their motto is 'thc most good to the
greatest number" and the greatest mum.
Der is certainly to be found in the large
towns and cities, where such a law III do
well enough But cannot We in the coun-
try have any rights; Must We be com.
PEELED to obey laws which We know are
against our own interests, when it would
be just a. well for other places. and much
TO study when we please: Many OF Us are
50 situated that We cannot leave home to
attend school In the city. Many OF us are
poor and have 10 work to earn our living
and in order to obtain an education, are
compelled 70 study every spare minute
But now must we give up all hope Of ever
making anybody or obtaining an education
because we cannot have books to study
but five months in a year: for We do not
feel like paying our taxes to buy books for
the town, and then buying another set of
book. for home use. But what can we do?
The law must be obeyed and We must do
without our books, except in school hours.
Do the men in our State Legislature think
that in our country towns there is no
intellect or spirit worthy place in the
great busy world or why do they not
make laws that will give us an equal
chance as far as possible, with our more
favored city cousins: | should like TO
hear the opinion Of some Of my country
neighbors on this subject.

ing in March, however pretty 1t might
seem In June.
The majority of men here do not go
home at dinner time, not having time to
spare to do so. Many would need an hour
to 60 and come, and in consequence there
are many lunch rooms, some free lunches"
and Others where you can get lunch all
the way from five cents up to as much as
you please. At one restaurant one can get a
regular meal for twenty five cents, but the
average ''luncher" seldom spends that
much. The writer usually spends ten
cents for his for that sum getting a clean
napkin, glass of water, bread, butter,
potatoes. plate OF roast pork, beef or
mutton, and cup of good coffee, food all
clean and well cooked, and they make mon
ey at that.
Our legislature is yet in session, it is q
farmer or Alliance" legislature. and with
all due respect to the farmers, l must say
that this particular set of them remind
me of what Judge Ely once told the
county commissioners of H-k Co., Me-,
several years ago Gentlemen, as indi-
viduals have great respect for you, but
taken collectively | think you are a pack
of jackasses Ron.
