To teachers, School Boards. and others
interested in education matters.
The new school law which W t into
force on July l. 1895, enacts that the State
Board of Education shall recommend TO the
legislature a uniform series OF text books
tor all grades below the High school.
The board met tor this purpose June 8.
1895, and the following series is offered as
their report. 1t is earnestly desired that
all boards wishing to introduce new books
choose them from this list, thus preserving
a uniform series.
At a meeting held in the month OF March,
the question OF making some recommend
alton was brought up. bat after some dis
, c%ussion. the sentiment seemed to be agains st
such action at that time, and the matter
was deferred.
A large lumber of letters OF inquiry from
county superintendent and others urging
that something should be done to prevent
the chaos that must ensue caused the State
Superintendent to send out a circular letter
on April oath TO school officers and members
OF the state legislature asking their views
on the subject. Replies were received iron
thirty.one members OF the Legislature anC
senate. fifteen from county superintendent:
The Madisonian. (Virginia City, Mont.) 1873-1915, 1895-07-13

and fifteen or more throughout the State
no: only tavoring. but many Of them urging
such action. Feeling that they would be
supported by public sentiment. the State
Board proceeded at a meeting held May LIST
to appoint a committee with power to rec
ommend a series of text books. and submit
their report at the June meeting of the
Board.
The State Board, IN the action taken, has
considered the best interest OF the State at
large, and while the members have been in
1uenced IN some degree by persOnel in
spectiOr and examination as to the merits
OF the e. books chosen. vet in ali cases OF
doubt, they have been controlled by the
views of educators throughout the State
who have been consulted very generally as
to their preferences.
The series now recommended for adoD'
ton until the meeting OF the next legls'a'
ture will also be recommended by the
Board to SAID legislature tor adoption by II
at its session in 1897.
In regard to the expense OF making the
changes we recommend, we are assured
that the State will not lose anything, bu
will rather be gamer.
The series IS as follows with prices at

ositlons received from various publishlD:
houses. BY preserving this circular an'
observing carefully any departure IRON

to hold an examination Of an insane
person a V the district judge. The
complaint must be sworn to before a
magistrate. The Judge summons two
graduates in medicine, who must be
practicing physicians. and two wit
nesses who are supposed to be best
acquainted with the condition Of the
insane person. But the new law allows
no travelling expenses for the judge
for this additional duty. He a how

perform this duty. when occasioned.
In districts comprising several counties
like ours, this will work a great hard
ship on contentious judges. Parker

to commentator for his prompt
action. Immediately on being advised
of the situation he left Boulder for
