ers and other school men why were they
changed so frequently? The criticism of
the State series has not been more severe
than that to which other books have been
treated.
AS to the statements made by the book
men, the writer has yet to see the first
that was fair. For example, Second
Reader in series of five books is com
pared with the Second Reader Of the
State series, which is one of three books
constituting series equal in amount OF
reading matter to the five book series of
private publishers.
1t is fact that there have been very
few poor school books made in the United
States the past ten years. A good teacher
can get excellent results in using any of
them. Almost any textbook in use is
better than are the evils that attend fire.
quent changes with never-ending eX-
pense to the patrons of the schools.
AS teacher, superintendent Of schools,
or member of Board of Education
nearly all the time for the past twenty
five years, the writer has examined many
textbooks. We believe we are fairly
familiar with nearly every series of such
books prominently before the people of
this country, and it is our opinion that
the California series compares favorably
with the works of private publishers.
The Arithmetics, Language Lessons and
the Elementary Geography are noticeably
excellent.
The California State series appears to
us to be a thoroughly good, substantial
set of books. Some of them may need to
be revised. Every person who knows
anything about the history of private
publishing knows that revision has al
ways been found necessary in certain
cases. We have had rs Readers,
and later IS New Readers, and later
IS New Revised Readers. State
books should no more be condemned be-
cause some of them need occasional revis-
ion than should the books of those
skilled gentlemen, who, all at once, for
the first time in the history of their oper-
ations, would create the impression that
private publishers never made defect
i've book.
! 1t occurs to us that the preparation of
the California series of books has been
wisely placed in the hands of the State
Board of Education. Most of the MEM
bers of that body have devoted their
whole lives to school work, and some of
them have acquired eminence in their
profession. Among them are names that
appear as authors on the title pages of
some of the best books issued by private
publishers. They have every incentive
to do creditable work, and they are men
of high integrity and unblemished repu-
tation. Keep the work in their hands
and in due time. with minimum expense,
they will give us complete series OF
textbooks written and printed in Cali
fornia that will stand as models for the
people of other States

Zone might as well be out of the world
as out of the fashion," says the fine lady,
as she arrays herself in conformity with
the latest rescript of Queen Alamode, re-
CARELESS whether, in obeying it, she does
or does not violate the requirements of
taste, the proprieties Of civilized society
and the laws of harmony. AS the action
should be suited to the word and the
word to the action, in oratory, so should
the figure harmonic with the dress and
the dress set off the figure. But not a
whit does the slavish worshiper of fashion
care for congruity. If jacket-like coats
are in vogue, your attenuated dandy,
whose latitude and longitude are those of
bean-pole, will wear one of them with
as much self-complacency as if ne were
the very ''model of form.' So, too, your
''dumpy woman often insists on her
dozen founces when that is the regula-
ton allowance.
In point of fact, the slaves of fashion
are the merest Journalists in existence.
They wear the uniform of the hour,
whether it becomes or deforms them, and
arrange every fold of it methodically, ac-
cording to the existing formula, whatever
that may be. The result is the ultra
fashionable people are always stiff and
stacy. If ladies who thus literalize the
mode think that their close resemblance
to the iashion-plates adds to their fascina-
tons, they are mistakenly. Y. Ledger.

STATE SCHOOL BOOKS.
Compared With Those Furnished b,
Private Publishers.
[santa Rosa Republican, Jan. aoth.1

lSanta Rosa Republican, Jan. 2Oth.l
In another article in this issue of the
Republican we have discussed the cost of
the State school books TO the people as
compared with those furnished by private
publishing houses. Here we offer a word
in regard to the literary merit of the
books, prefacing our remarks with the
statement as to the character of the criti-
cism to which they have been subjected.
1t has long. been the policy of all the
leading school book publishing houses to
employ the keenest, shrewdest and best
informed men attainable as their agents.
The mission of these agents has been.
first, to create dissatisfaction with text
books used in the schools by attacks on
their contents, and, secondly, to secure
the introduction of their own books. In
the four years that have passed since the
adoption of the California plan of having
the State print and supply at cost the
books used in the schools, the people
have not forgotten the bitterness and the
unscrupulousness that characterized the
contests between agents over the char
acterof the works represented by them.
The California idea was recognized as
serious matter for both private publish
ing houses and agents. Should it give sat-
lsfaction and become firmly established
here it would soon be adopted generally.
and their occupation would be gone. All
the ability, intrigue and virulence of
both agents and publishers were at once
employed against our State series, hop
ing by this combined attack to create
dissatisfaction and enlist teachers and
superintendent in ademand for a change
back to the old plan.
Nobody has been hired to defend the
State series of text books. They have
stood OH their merits. The best series of
books ever issued could not long endure
in any community without defenders
against the attacks of the agents of rival
houses. Angels could not make book
that would under such circumstancs s
stand alone on its merits.
On the part of the people there has
rarely been any cutlery against books in
use. There is none now. There has al
ways been complaint, often bitter and
ugly, by teachers and superintendent
against the books of private publishers.
If such books were satisfactory to teach

Tho Mattress.

Comfort and health depend more upon
the mattress than upon the clothing of
the bed, yet these are important. Blankets
give more warmth with less weight than
cotton quilts or comforters. Cleanliness
should come before quality. A plain
white covering is preferable to dingy
one deliberately embroidered.
