Supt. Race thus expresses himself
upon the free,text book plan in re-
cent issue Of the Pioneer Press:
mo district SO far has tried the free
text book plan. l believe in district
and county, too, but not in
a State. State uniformity gives too
much one-sidedness of views upon
several subjects to be taught, and be-
sides it oft-times gives us a set of very
books. Free text books
would very materially help our com
mon schools. A large number of our
schools are at times very poorly sup
piled with text books. Sometimes pu-
pills are without books for weeks and
even months under our present system.
