high school course; be it therefore
Resolved 1, That there is no reason
why the city should not retain control over
its schools in the matter of text books SO
long us il is deemed wise to give 1t con-
troll in other matters relating to its
schools; that this is n question of detail
in which The State should not interfere
Resolved, .. That we are of the opinion
that the present list of books adopted by
the State for use In the rural schools Is
not suitable for our system OF schools
hence sweeping change would not only
materially interfere with the progress az
the children. but would cause an expense
TO our people not justified by any good
sound sense.
Resolved, 8, That We protest against
any change of books In our schools as n
result of State uniformity. or OF any
legislative experiment; that Il is the Arm
Judgment OF this body that such course
on the part of the legislature would be-
unwise: 1t would cause q detriment that
would take us years to overcome.
