Changes I'm Teachers Adopted ON the
Recommendation of the Conf

The most important matter brought UP at
yesterdays meeting Of the board Of school
inspectors was the reading of an opinion
from City Attorney Darragh on the free text
book laws. Mr.. Darragh holds that the
books should be acquired under the state
text book law of $685. rather than under
the local school laws of 1891 for st. Paul.
Under the 1891 law, the books would be adj
vertised for as are other supplies. The law
of 1898. however. provides specifically for the
requirement of free text books under the SUI
pervision of the state department of public
instruction. The latter will probably be
followed, therefore, and Inspector MeNair
will call a meeting of the free text book COM
mittee to be held within a day two.
