the following paper which he had pre-
pared in answer to the above:
Whereas, on Feb. 6, 1899, com,
munication was received by this board
from Hon. J. S. Kendall, state super
iutendent of public instruction, calling
the attention of the board to suggest
ed legislation as set forth in an open
letter by Ex-senator Pressler to Gov.
Sayers, said letter recommending two
amendments to the present text book
law as follows, tO-wit:
1st That the Pressler law be
amended by striking cut the exemP-
ton clause, which allows cities Of So
600 and upwards to select their own
text books; and
. I'd. That rthe scope of the present
law be extended so as to include in ad-
dition to the branches already embod-
led in the text book law, the subjects,
mental arithmetic. algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, rhetoric, English and
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-02-07

American literature, chemistry. DE-
ginners' Latin, Latin grammar. Latin
prose composition, Caesar and Virgil;
and, whereas, the state superin tendent
has asked an expression of this board
on the contem plated legislation, be it
resolved.
| lst. That this board is in favor of
the Pressler text book law as It now
stands, SO far as it applies to country
districts, small towns aud villages
I'd. That for the same reasons that
the law should have been passed at all,
it's provisions should extend to the
whole course of study. We therefore
favor extending the scope OF the law to
include the above mentioned subjects
in addition to the branches already
embodied in the Pressler act, provided
that cities and towns of 5000 aud up
wards be exempted from the law.
Sd. That the board is unqualihedly
opposed to striking out the exemption
clause, which allows towns aud cities
of 10. 900 upwards to choose their own
text books, and favors extending the
cities OF 5000 upwards Instead OF lO.ooU
upwards as is the present law.
4th. That copies of these resolutions
be sent to Hon. J. S. Kendall, state
superintendent of public instructions;
Hon. W. w. Turney, state senator
from this district, Hon. w. w.
Bridgers, Hon. w. K. Jones. represent
atives.
1t is the opinion of the board hat
the necessity for text book law was
two fold.
First, to prevent frequent and un-
necessary changes of text books to
which country districts and small
towns and villages were undoubtedly
subjected, and
Second. to reduce the cost of text
books to prices which are just and rea-
sonable. In these respects the law has
performed the functions for which it
was created.
In Ell Paso, aud we believe that the
same may be said of most cities in the
state of 5000 and upwards, the change
of text books is not more frequent than
is actually necessary to keep pace with
the improvement OF books and the gen.
eral progress of education throughout
the country.
The law as it stands has reduced the
price of books in exempted districts as
we'll as in uou-exempted districts from
the fact that any can adopt the state
books if it chooses to do SO, and will do
it rather than pay extOrtiOnate prices
for books. This necessarily forces
book companies to sell their books as
low as possible in order to get cities to
retail their books. Country and viii
lage districts want the law and they
should have it. Il prevents constant
and unnecessary changes ofs books, to
which they have been subjected, and
it reduces the cost of books to just and
reasonable prices, an end being much
need ID and desired. But cities, and
Ell Paso in particular, do not want the
law for reasons too numerous to meu-

place concerning the various plans
that were suggested by Mr.. Kneezell
for the new second ward building, the
Mexican school, and the Mesa school
addition. Mr.. Kueezell submitted
three sketch plans for the second ward
school, the estimated cost being (1)
fourteen, (2) thirteen, and (3) eleven
and T. half thousands respectively. The
plans all cal ed for an eight room
building. For the Mexican school he
submitted two sketch plans, at cost
of ~ $500 and ~ $4,000 respectively.
After considering all the plans offer
ed the board selected the third plan
for the second ward and the second for
the Mexican school to be worked up
by the architect in greater detail in
con- junction with the external com
mittee. The Mesa addition was left
without decision.
The meeting was then declared
closed.

best to do so.

best to do so.
5th. We do not see how the exemp-
ton of cities can affect the successful
operation of the text book law in non
exempted districts, and we believe that
cities aud towns of 5000 inhab ssnts
and upwards should be free to adopt or
not to adopt, the state books as the y
prefer, aud not coerced into adoption
by legislative enactments.
An informal discussion followed. The
views of the individual m smb erS of the
board have already been set forth in
the HERALD in the form Of interviews.
Mr., Martin, seconded by Mr.. Foster,
moved that the resolutions EN- bodied in
the superiutendeut's reply t, adopted

The bills were then taken up. There
was some discussion about the loose
manner in which many of the bills

ton all of them.

ton all of them.
A few are as follows:
1st. The text books used in our
schools are not changed any more ire
quentiy than they sGouid be.
I'd, We are supplied with books
which in our judgment are far better
than those adopted by the STATE; and we
are opposed to the enormous expeDse
of almost com pletely changing our
text books, particularly when we feel
that we are getting in the place OF our
books those which are inferior in every
particular to Them.
Sd. We are not afraid of extortion-
ate prices on books 80 long as the state
law exists, ard citirs are allowed to
choose the state books if they prefer to
do so.
4th. While we are net in favor of
frequent changes of text books. We
prefer that our people be free to change

Discussion then ensued upon the
matter of buying ground for the Mex
lean school. Most of the members
were confident that the city council
would not buy the ground for the
school out of city funds. Mr.. Foster
did not think the school board should
expend any of the money derived from
the sale of bonds Including the prem

Mr.. Pew finally moved that the ex-

1t is claimed that the German Meth
odist Episcopal church on South Chap
line street is the oldest ediice of this
particular denomination, not only in
this country. but in the world. The
church has been in existence for three
score of years, the congregation hav-
ing been organized in 1889.
The first leaders meeting was held
on May 9Th, of the latter year and at
the time Rev. John Zwahlen was the
minister; Messrs. Henry Koeneke,
Christian Ohle. Lorenz Shork, E. RE
m~enschnider, Charles Schelper, j. H.
Damn, Henry Henke and Frederick
FIGHTER were in charge. Shortly after
wards Messrs. Koeneke. Reimenschmei-
der, Schelper, Damn and Henke became
regular travelling preachers.
The first church building after hav-
ing stood for twenty-one years, was
torn down in 1860 and later replaced
by a new and more moderate structure,
sixty-four feet long and forty feet
wide, the lower story being ten feet
high and the upper story, twenty feet
in the clear. In 1898 it was handsome
ly remodeled and a large new addition
was erected in the rear. Although the
church was put up in 1888, it did not
become a self-sustaining station until
1849. The little vine of Methodism
planted so many years ago has gradu-
ally grown until now it ranks among
the leading houses of God in the city,
At present there are about two hun
dred members and among them may
be found many business and profession
al men of wealth and prominence.
