Action "f Scpuin school Board.

10 tho Editor OF The Post.
whereas, There is now pending In tho
legislature of the state of Texas n nil, IN
provide for Uniform Series Of schoo,
IcNt Books' to be adopted by a board OF
state officials, said adoption to continue
Tor period Of five years without change
we respectfully beg leave to submit tbo
following reason why we are opposed to
this measure:
l. state adoption is undemocratic and
paternalistic. because II proposes to take
the selection OF school hooks out OF ,bc
hands OF parents and school boards and
place It In the hands OF a central hoard
thus usurping local authority and cen
traiizlng power which should be dis
tributed among the people.
:. State uniformity would tend toward
narrow mindcdncss on tho part of both
teachers and pupils.
]. 1t would exclude from the public
schools for period Of five years all now
and improved text books and thus place
Il barrier to educational progress.
a. We do not regard chcapncss Of text
books AZ paramount to merit, We believe
that state adoption means cheaper books.
poorer BOOKS, ana poorer schools. We find
that school hooks do not cost as much as
tho public generally believe. tho average
cost in this city per session being only
al ii cents per pupil.
3, State adoption would tend to dis
courage authorship OF newer and better
books.
y, In a State so large as Texas, the
conditions that surround schools In dit
ferent sections are such that uniformity
of text books would not be for the highest
good Of all the public schools.
I. We are opposed to State publication
and state adoption because we believe
such measures would be paternalistic and
sumptuary That 1t would foster monopoly
and incur an unnecessary expense at the
present timQ0
S. Passed by unanimous vote Of the
school board, Seguin, Texas. March IL,

Grant as q Boy.

The late Colonel Jesse e. Peyton in
his book of "reminiscences thus described
his first meeting with General Grant:
In the year 1888 I was working as a
boy in country store at Flat Rock,
Bourbon county, KY. Ulysses S. Grant
was then boy, living at Georgetown,
O., not many miles distant. One day
Grant drove over to Flat Rock with the
niece Of my employer. Grant was then
. 16 years old, awkward, ungainly, de-
termined, industrious and very poorly
dressed. He drove vicious horse. The
night after his arrival at Flat Rock he
slept with me in the store. It was cold
night, and we boys kept close to the
lee of the counter.
In the morning Grant asked me il he
scould assist me. I said Yes He help
Led me take down the shutters and sweep
~out the store and put stock in place.
After breakfast he drove off. I heard
from him afterward of his drive home.
Before he had gone far from Flat Rock
his horse ran away, and finally brought
1up with crash in fence corner. Moth
ing broke. Grant jumped out, seized
the trembling horse by the bride and
tiled bis handkerchief over the BEAST 8
~eyes. He drove the horse blindfolded
all the way to Georgetown, O."
