Governor O'Ferrail and AttornsV-General
scott Again Reply To the Pilot.

The Virginia School Book Question Is
tine title of q pamphlet just from the
press. Il contains the .eplies OF Governor
O'Ferrai and Attorney-Gcneral Scott 10
the charges made 10y the Norfolk Pilot
that the public school book list tor 1884
was adopted by the Board OF Education
with "ud,,cut and Unsacmly haste
The first reply was made December
-. 1891 and was published I'm iull in Ihe
Times at that time. The main object
OF this paper WAS 60 prove that 40
changes were made in the school book
list. because the superintendent OF the
various counties and cities of the state
were practically unanimous IN their re-
yOrts that the existing list was satlsfac-
tory and no changes were desired.
Tho panphlet contains. also. a second
reply. under the date OF February a..
1895. which gives the result OF IAN cXdmi-
nation To ascertain whether the patrons
Of Virginia schools are paying more Tor
books than the patrons OF the schools m

Of prices in the various states and Ter
ritorics with which the American Book
company and the University Publishing
COMPANY have contracts. This list only
shows three books which reach the chit
dren al lower prices dian IN Virginia
two i'm Maryland and one iu West \Ir-
einia--and OF these they gave bountiul
explanation.
In CLOSING. the reply says we have

rronstratc that h is not true that Yin
g.aia has been outraSCously defraudcd.'
and that hor contracts for school books
ere so lniqutous. and the discrimination
against her so obvious and outrageous as
10 bear upon their faces the badges or
fraud and corruption. as has been
charged. I'm our Investigation We nave
found no discrimination against Virginia.
"Thc patrons OF our pubic schools
would have just cause of complaint had
the Board Of Education listened to the
clamor Of rival publishing companies,
whose paid agents thronged the city OF
Richmond last spring. and discarded the
books which their children had used Tor
many years-boOks which have stood the
