Mr.. John +. Robinson recently re-
ceived a circular announcing that his

Sd battalion would meet at Lowville,
N. Y, Sept. 16, and that the 18th annu-
al reunion Of the regimental associa-

October 10. Mr.. Robinson regrets very
much his inability to be present in per-
son-though in spirit he will be with
the boys on these occasions-but hopes

We hardly think it was the intention
of the trainers Of the law providing for
a uniform system Of textbooks for the
public schools that it should be neces-
sary for those interested to call upon
some member of the board to find out
what was done at their July meeting.
The law requires that a certain line of
books shall be used, and we believe
that as soon &s those books are decided
upon it is the duty Of the board select
ing the same to let the public know
what books are to be used, where they
can be obtained and at what price; also
whether or not old books will be taken
in part payment for the new ones.
This business is all done under the
supervision of county officers and
should be published officially by said
officers.
