THE COUNTY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Strong Commentator of the school System
and the Text Book Law.

Strong Communication of the School System
and the Text Book Law.
Having carried out its program on
papers, the county superintendents' state
association gave its attention Thurrday
afternoon to reports of its committees on
legislation and resolutions. The meeting
was in the supreme court room at the
state house, and the first thing that came
before it was the report of the committee
on constitution and bylaws. Chairman
s. j. Huston had scarcely concluded the
reading of the report when Superntend-
ent T. A. Mott. chairman of the legislative
committee, begged the attention OF
the association for a few moments to
say that the committee on constitution
and bylaws had evidently drawn it's ideas
from its conference with his committee
The report of the committee on legislation,
he said. would he found to be the count
erpart of the report Just read. 1t had been
prepared after much study and considera-
ton of questions important to the inter
ests of the public schools throughout the
state, and would be the platform upon
which the association would stand in it's
effort to secure legislation at the coming
session of the general assembly. Chair
man Mott considered there was but little
need OF two reports, and left it to the as

quired number of books at fixed price,
but either way would involve a vast out
lay OF money, and since the state owner
ship of books would not secure better
books or lower rates the present system
should not be set aside on those grounds.
He spoke of some of the advantages of
the free book system and said his belief
was that under the present law, with per-
haps a few amendments the schools
cou d be supplied with excel ent books at
low rate. Ii, however. it seemed adj
visable to change the law, the following,
for free text books. had many advantages:
~ Let the law provide that no book
shall be furnished at higher rate than
the wholesale rate of the publishing
houses. The rate might be fixed at per
cent. lower than the wholesale price. ~
Let the firms wishing TO furnish books
give bond to the state that they will de-
liver books where ordered within the state
at rate not higher than their wholesale
rate. 49, Let the state superintendents,
through the county uperintendents, fur
nlsh to trustees names OF firms that have
filed bonds, and the lists OF books and
prices these several firms present for
adoption. (4) From such lists OF books
let cities. towns and townships select such
books as may DO best suited 10 the needs
OF their respective schools and contract
directly with publisher for these books.
TO- Let the proper authoriti in each city,
town and township Law tax TO purchase
such books ss may be selected. (6) Let
the books be in charge of trustees when
not in the care OF teachers a. Let these
books be loaned free OF charge TO every
child attending the pub ic school, pro-
vided he shall paw for any injury to the
l. 81, a fo..~
Legis alton similar to the above had
been adopted in other states. The dis
cussion on the subject was carried out by
:. f. Harwood. Terre Haute. and T. y.
James, Brazil, both of whom agreed gen
orally with the views of the first speaker.
Mr. James said that free text books would
last longer in the schools than if they were
the individual property of the pupil, as
the child could be taught to take greater
care of them. Another phase of the SUBJ
ject was the danger Of in ection from dis
ease by the pupils always exchanging
books, and Mr.. James said that the state
could afford TO destroy ally books that had
been taken into houses where there was
injection. At the conclusion the report

While men differ perhaps more widely
than ever before. the common instincts of
the race turn TO supreme power as the
only adequate explanation OF the existing
world.
The professor then spoke at some length
on the various educational movements OF
the day and claimed that the phys
ical culture, manual training, the new lit
erary spirit the spread OF the kindergarten
idea, the dominance of science and the
modern spirit of nature study rested fund
amentally on modern view OF God, the
world, human institution and human des-
tiny. The great elements of the educa-
tional conscientlousness OF this time," ne
said, "ard which foreshadow the educa-
ton OF the future are: a. The demand
for universal education. (2) The require
ment that education shall derive its in
Significance and its whole method from a
profound understanding OF the nature and
destiny OF the being educated. 81 That

toward q development of the ethical ma
ture OF the being. that is a cultivation Of

patton in the rational world order about

Discussion on the subject followed, in
which l.. II. Jones of Indianapolis and G..
?. Brown, editor OF the Illinois School Jour
nal took part "A Plea for Industrial
Training in the Public Schools" was then
read by w. n. Mailman, superintendent
of public schools, Laporte. The general
trend of the paper and the discussion at
tending it was that the time was not yet
ripe for the introduction of industrial
training in the schools. The idea was not
generally understood and would, if intro
duced TO the public in it's infancy, be like
ly TO entail great waste of money and
cause a great deal of work which would
accomplish no good. 1t was acknowledged
that the preparations for the work made
in Indianapolis seemed to promise well,
but il was thought it was not yet time to
organize manual training departments. He
said il the question was considered at all
the result to the girls of the state should
not be overlooked. She wanted TO know
what industrial training the industrial
schools would provide for girls" ques-
ton which she thought Purdue univers-
ity should answer. and one that every
industrial school supported by public
funds should answer.
The miscellaneous business was then
taken up, and it was decided that the
Independents should be six in number
instead OF seven, who with the members
OF the executive committee would give
each of the thirteen congressional districts
Of the state representation. The offices of
permanent secretary and railroad secre-
tRry were combined. \ resolution ex-

that Prof w. L. Harris, the present chief
OF the bureau of education. be retained

ton was adopted.

purpose Is TO perpetuate the fixed customs

one-sided education, but it raised the uni
versiiies OF Europe and made way for the
reformation. 1t remained for America in
the nineteenth century to evolve q plan of

The speaker spoke at length on the
various methods of education, among
which lie reckoned experience not the
least and then he passed on TO the re-
spOnsibiity oil teachers, and also com
pared their compensation with that of
other professional. men. In conclusion he
said: The outlook for your great state is

Look up, not down; look out, not in

governments OF the world were each year
increasing their appropriations for the in
stTuctlon and training of the masses.
| They saw that in the education Of all
classes lies the solution of troublesome
social aud governmental problems. The
most significant educational fact OF the
times was the almost universal conviction
that ignorance is menace 10 modern civ
ilization. and that men must be educated
and trained for intelligent activity. A
second tendency noted by him was the
growing acceptance of that view which
regarded the individual as the center and
object of all educational effort. A third
element was the theistic tendency. ut il
