THE new TEXT BOOKS.
Selections Agreed Upon by the New Mex.
loo Board Of Education.

The New Mexico Board of Education
closed a three days session at the gov
ernor's Office yesterday afternoon. There
were present during the session Gov
ernor Prince, president of the board !;
Amado Chavez, superintendent of public
instruction and secretary; Hon. E. s.
Stover, Prof. J. P. Schneider and Prof.
Hiram Hadley. The feature of their
meeting was the adoption Of text books
to be used in all the public schools of
New Mexico for the next four years.
There were score or more of the repre-
sentatives of various publishing houses on
hand to press the claims and express the
merits of their respective publications,
and the 400 volumes that had been sent
as samples for inspection by thirty-fve
publishing concerns were gone over very
carefully and examined in every detail by
the members of the board in fact, they
had been engaged in this for two months
past, 80 that when it came to making
final selection they were quite familiar
with the good or bad features OF most of
the books. The task was q tedious one.
Appended is the list selected for
the lower and intermediate grade of
public schools, the selection of those for
the high schools being deferred until some
near future date:
