EXCHANGE OF BOOKS.

In view of the iron clad certif-
cate adopted by some of the pub
fishers Of text books for the public
schools Of Tennessee, the State
Teachers Association unanimously
adopted a resolution petitioning
the State Text Book Commission
to not permit the obstruction of
the free exchange Of text books.
It was the opinion of the COM
mittee' that this certificate would
reduce the number of books ex-
changed to a very small per cent.
for thefollowing reasons:
First-The great inconvenience of get
ting certificates into the hands of parents
and teachers.
Secont-The imp0ssibility OF teacher
certifying in the great number OF cases
asto actualuse and ownership OF booi
ataspecihed timei
Third-The fact that many peopI
have books, such as are used IN the Stat
bnt chat were not in actual use on Apr
10 1859. as none Of their children wer
in grades using these books atthat time
F0urth-The clause os to mutilateJ
bdoksleaves the subject Of exchange en-
tifely ut the mercy Of the dealers an
publishers.

taken prompt action in the matter
At a meeting at Nashville Monday
they adopted the following in re-
gard to the certificate:
The text book law, section 8, provide.
that the Contractors shall take up the

receive the same in exchange for new
