UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS.
Meeting Of the County Board Of Education
June 8-The Membership Their Du-
ties,. and Extracts of the Law
Governing Them.

The meeting Of the county board OF
which meets June 8, next, to
adopt a uniform system of text books,
is causing some uneasiness among pa
rents throughout the county. There is
considerable at stake in a change of text
books both as to the quality OF the
books and the cost involved in making
the change. Ii the quality OF books In
troduced IS increased in value by u
higher grade by whatever extra expense
might occur, there would be no valid o.
lection to a change, as we want the best;
and right here Is where the responsibility
ty for making the changes, il any, rests
entirely with the county board
Of education. There is little
danger that this county will be
thrown into a school book revo-
luton, or the patrons OF schools put to
great expense, when W. consider who
constitutes the county board of educa-
ton.
The new law provides that "the county
superintendent Of schools, the president
of the board of education of all cities and
towns, the county auditor, the states at
torney, the board of county commission
ers, and one person from each commits
sioner district who shall be selected by
the school boards in such district at a
meeting called by the county superin.
tendent, shall constitute the county
board Of education of each county for
selecting and adopting all the text books
needed for use in the public schools of
the county"
Accordingly, the board in this case
will consist Of Supt. Daugherty, who is
chairman OF the board, Auditor Keith,
who is clerk of the board, States Attor-
ney Farmer, Commissioners Davis, Bux.
ton and Bingham, d. M. Finnie, B. B.
Bowel, Frank st. Bonett, and whoever
is chosen president Of the Madison city
board Of education ten IN all.
The law further provides that the
board shall receive sealed bids to fur.
the county with school books for a term
of five years, and the board shall no,
contract for prices higher than the fol.

Persons who do some clean
ing in the cemetery should have
enough good sense not to throw
the weeds and dirt in the alleys,
as is the common practice, thereby
rendering the circulation almost
impossible in some parts of the
cemetery. Would it not be as
easy and much cleaner to pile all
the rubbish in one place, a little
out of the way; it would certainly
be and look much cleaner.

THE BONE REMOVED.

Daily Item.
Among the Offices contending
for and from which some strug-
Cling, anxious and impatient pa
triots hoped to derive honor, pro-
fit and renown, we're those of the
Mint. just as the struggle for
it's places had reached the stage of
a scramble, the director OF the ma
tional mint service cody and sud-
denly removes the bone and leaves
the scramblers to scramble over
nothing.
This is an appalling situation to
reduce long hoping, long expect
ing patriot to. From the offices
in this arm of the civil service of
the nation many of the nations
wards expected mdch-but Direc-
tor Preston cruely dashes their
hopes, closes the pOnderous doors
of the place where the nation
coins some of its money, and
leaves Without place many who

Such is the fate of those who

The New Orleans people have
criticized the country shot gun
quarantine very severely, but we
must admit that in all their stu
pidity, they were not half. as stu
pid as the New Orleans Board of
Health. When the country esta-
blished quarantine they did SO
against New Orleans which was
infected with yellow fever; but
how ridicule it is for q city as in
fected as New Orleans is today, to
establish quarantine against Fran
kiln which has FIVE cases and Pat
terson with. two cases of fever.
Does this not establish the fact
that the state Board of Health is
a fraud and humbug? When the
city was healthy they allowed six
thousand people coming from in
fected towns to enter New Orleans
and spread the disease, and now
that they have an epidimic they
faint to quarantine against towns
having one or two cases of fever.
The people of the state should be
ashamed of this Board of HeCth.

Let Us Paint The Church.

Father Hays was this week pass
ing a subscription list among the
people of the town to raise funds
to continue the inside decoration
of the Catholic church.
We are informed that between
seven or eight hundred dollars
would be required to complete the
work. It seems to us that that
amount could easily be raised if
our people would show q little
good will, and take a little pride
in having our public buildings
put in a decent, clean condition.
We have one of the largest and
finest churches of the country pa
rishes, the only thing it needs to
make it the attraction of the town
is inside decoration.
Our people should come forward
and subscribe the amount neces.
sary to complete the painting Of
the Catholic church, and make ar
object of which our citizens car
point to with pride, as the pretti
est church in the country.

be stopped midway between streets It is
to De doubted whether this proposition will
find favor with many persons, though it
Is evidently advanced In spirit Of earnest
endeayor to seek a remedy for bad and

cars are now supp )sed to stop, according TO
police regulation, at the near corner
OF the streets; that is'te say they must
come 10 a stop, when stopping at all, be-
fore crossing the street. This is a choice
between two evils. Under the plan former
ly followed the cars were permitted TO
cross the streets first and stop on the far
corners. This led to many dangerous pos

be safer to halt the cars before they crossed
II is obviously advantageous use the
corners as stopping points, fer from such
place the travel aided by the cars Il,

maximum of comfort and convenience Is

of mid-square halts would put a majority

reasonable to expect that the motormen.

would limit the miniature presentation of

upon expert examinations that the cost

that the map could not be scientifically

de cided without a thorough investigation,
