TO FINISH THIS WEEK
SELECTION or TEXTBOOKS To DE
COMPLETED TOMORROW.
The BEST AT LOW PRICES.
Merit of the Publications and Their
Cost Matters of Prime Considern-
tfon--Locnl Interests Being Looked
Out for---Other Capitol Matters.

The State Board OF Education was ir
session for a number OF hours in the Gov.
ernor's Mansion yesterday, and IL is an
derstood that they adopted a number OF
books, though the nature or the names OF
the publications could not bo ascertained
/ yesterday.
The board has gotter down TO the work
before it, and is making much greater
Roadway than had been anticipated. and
II looks now as II it would be able TO
announce the result Of its labors within
the next day or sO-probably tomorrow.
None OF those In position TO know will
say whether single book rule will apply
or whether the multiple list will be
adopted; but 1t is stated pretty generally,
though on what authority cannot be
learned definitely. that a number of
changes are being made, and that the
American Book Company will not have
nearly so great a monopoly In the text
book business In this State as II has had
In the past.
PREFERENCE TO LOCAL MEN.
The various publishers, many OF whom
have remained here to await the final
action OF the board, are still in the dark
as TO the probable outcome, but the local
publishers seem 10 feel confident that
their claims are being favorably consld-
cred by the board, and that they will Sc
cure large slice OF the business 20 be
awarded.
The statement was made by a member
OF the board, while the publishers agents
were being heard that in the selection OF
books the bona-fide Virginia publications
would, all things being equal. be given
the preference. There Is no doubt that
this rule will be lived UP 10. IL Is be-
lieved that the board, having by far the
greatest variety OF books 20 select from,
and having brought into competition a
greater number OF large houses than ever
offered before. is IN position to greatly
improve on the books hitherto In use. and
at the same time to secure more reasona-
bic prices Merit and cost are matters OF
prime consideration.
The readers submitted by the B. f.
Johnson Publishing Company having been
presented too late for examination by the |
educators Of the state, they were prompt |
ly sent to the faculties OF the two Normal |
schools and Of the School OF Methods, and !
the reports made by these experienced
teachers will be given due consideration |
In selecting readers. Two Of the reports |
have already come TO hand.

Der OF the Confederate army or navy,

the Confederacy in any capacity other
wise than in the army or navy He was
told that it did. and this brought on the
discussion.
sons Of those serving the Confederacy,
whether in actual war or otherwise. to be
eligible for membership.
ARGUMENT FOR AMENDMENT.
Mr.. l.. D. McAllister, of Atlanta. said
that under a strict construction OF the
section descendants Of Benjamin Hill,
Jefferson Davis, and others would be ex-
cluded from membership. He said he
thought the amendment should be adopt
cd.
Mr. II. N. Randolph said that the asso-
citation was one parallel TO one in which
no one was allowed membership who had
not seen active service. While, he said,
there were other men who did valiant
service for the Confederacy in various
ways. the word veteran meant one who
had actually faced the conflict and the
rain Of bullets.
Mr.. w. r. Green, Of Manchester, Tenn,
bade a telling speech in favor OF adopting
the section as it was originally read. lie
said that while he sympathized with
those whose fathers had served the Con-
federacy hOnorably in various ways other
than by actual service in the army, he
did not see how the meaning of the word |
could be extended to include any |
of them.
Several speeches were made favoring |
the adoption of the amendment. but when |
the motion was put IL was voted down |
and laid on the table. The original Sec
ton was adopted, restricting the member
ship TO sons OF veterans, and the conven- Z
ton accepted the revised constitution
without change.
