the proposition to establish national

The report Of the committee on text
books used in the public schools was
adopted. The report deals severely
with some of the histories used in the
south, charging that they misstate the
facts as to the cause Of the rebellion
and present them from southern
view point. Regret is expressed that,
after an examination of all the his
tories used in the states that were
loyal to the government, in the opin-
ion OF the committee, none merits the
unqualified Endorsement of the organ
ization. The report closed with the
following recommendations:
First-That this encampment urge the con-
tinued agitation OF the question Of improved
textbooks in our schools that relate to the
history of the United States, especially as to
the events of the war Of the rebellion.
Second-That the national encampment au-
thori2e the appointment Of a permanent COM
mittee on the subject Of teaching patriotism In
our schools, which shall make report each
year.
Thrd-That 1t be urged upon each depart

and allied organizations, that they give direct
and persistent attention to the selection OF
proper textbooks for use In our schools, and
