stringent measures to maintain order on

adopted. Instead, however, the Hanlor

due 10 the fact that the team Is Timber

put in their appearance here the cranks
who have been alternating for the past
few months in their offices and work
shops will come from their holes and
give them a hearty welcome.
That the Atlantic League will be a
more evenly balanced one this year than
II was last Is a foregone conclusion. All
Of the weak clubs have strengthened 10
a considerable extent, and are prepared
TO enter the race for the championship
with some show OF winning. Denny Long,

THE STATE BOARD WILL SELECT
THEM IN MAY.
ZEN HISTORIES AND GRGMKbRS,
Tho strongest Fight Being Made for
,tc Former-The superintendent
thinks Changes In Both Are Very
prohnbIe-The hooks Now I'm Use.

some time in May the state Board Of
EDUCATION will meet TO select textbooks
f,r use in the public schools OF the State
for the ensuing four years.
The board is composed OF the Cover
NOR. Attorney General. and superlntend-
ont Of Public Instruction. Each OF these,
e.pecially the last named, have been
eooded with sample copies of various
text-books for the past few months, and
,omnunications from the publishers,
urging the merits OF their publications.
There will undoubtedly be changes
from the list at present in use. The SUI
rerintendent Of Public Instruction told
Dispatch reporter some time ago that
he believed new histories. and possibly
new grammars, would be adopted
OBJECTIONS TO HISTORIES.
There has for years been great oojec-
ton to the histories used. IL being urged
that they we're grossly unfair in their
treatment Of the questions on which the
war between the States was fought and
IN presenting the story OF that great
conflict. In other words, the advocates
% new books claimed that those in use
taught as history that which was not
history.
Several histories by southern authors
have been on the list, and two, shinn
and Hanseps. are there at present. But
objection to these IS so strong that the
Superintendent thinks they VIII nave 10
a-.....a ,.,f.h other two.
tn. History Committee OF the Grand
Camp OF Confederate Veterans IS lead
ing the fight against the histories WINE
me teachers OF the State head the oppo-
sition 70 the grammars now in 'se. Inc
Grand Camp Committee has adopted reso-
buttons endorsing tho United States his
tories written by Mrs. Susan I. Lee ana
Raw. DR.. J. william Jones, and the Su-
psrlntendent Of Public Instruction will
hear rs members present the claims OF
the two books on next Wednesday.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE WANTS.
The committee does not wish the board
20 odopt books which unfairly present the
story OF the war. even though they have
q southern leaning. Nor do they wish
books adopted which are silent on the
great sectional questions which have
arisen in American history, and ever
tests. The committee claims that one
or other Of these faults are 10 be found
with all the histories now in use in the
Virginia schools.
Il is certainly true that those written
by Mrs Lee and DR.. Jones are not color
less. They discuss the questions which
brought on the war very fully. and the
men who lived then and participated in
the events Of those stirring times de-
clare fairly There IS strong probability
Of the adoption of these books.
The chief objection made TO Harvey's
grammars IS that they are not clear II
many particulars, and that distinction:
are frequently made where difference:
are very shadowy. II is said that some
of the older teachers in the State favol
returning 70 grammars Of an earlier date
but probably not that Of Lindley Muir

There is good deal OF complaint being
made against the Chesapeake and Ohio
