REPORT ON THE SELECTION OF

The recent action of the Board of

textbooks in the Chicago public schools
will give more than ordinary interest
to the report made by James W.
Thompson, n member of an cducatiOn.

Federation 10 investigate methods of
selecting textbooks in one hundred of
the leading cities of the Union.
Mr.. Thompson found, what is very
well known 10 the best Informed edu.
Gators. that there Is Il very wide diver
sity In the use ana selection of text
books. In number of States the
State Board of Education Is vested
with unusual powers in this direction.
In Virginia, Kentucky ana Indiana the
State boards prepare Il selected list of
textbooks from which local principals
may choose, while the State boards of
Louisiana, California, oregon ami
Washington specifically prescribe what
textbooks shall be used. The States
of New York, New Jersey, Nebraska.
Delaware and New Mexico provide by
law for free textbooks, while the State
of California prints its own textbooks.
In other States the decision Is left Ia
local authorities, generally with the
qualification that il may not be changed
for IA period of from four to six years.
provision that has been uniformly
sustained 10y the courts.
In States where local authorities Sc
lcct the textbooks the prevailing prac,
tlcc Is in favor of the selection of books
by the Board of Education OF a com.
mittcc thereof, after consultation with
the superintendent and principals. In
many Instances the superintendent il

cases reported 10y Mr.. Thompson the
superintendent alone il vested with
full authority in this matter.

HARRiS0N'S COURAGEOUS SPEECH

If all the Democratic leaders We're as
courageous and outspokcn us Hon. Car
ter II. Harrison. there would he no
doubt about the success of the Democ-
racy in November next.
In the big fight over the IL to dee.
laraton In the Committee on Rcsolu-
tons at Kansas City, Mayor Harrison
said:
'Thc Illinois Democracy has sent me
here TO protest against the platform
which has been offered us. by a united
and harmonious convention have been
instructed to tell to the members of
the committee that the adoption or re-
lection of this III To- plank means the
difference between Democratic defeat
and Democratic victory In Illinois.
"Thc condition of affairs In our state
is simply this: We have the large for
cign population. of which NO,OOW re-
side In Chicago who are opposed tn
McEinlcyism. opposed to trusts, op-
posed to Imperialism. and opposed to
haps oncthird Of the voting population
of our State. While. however. they are
in the Democratic party today on all
of the new issues which have arisen.
they are opposed to the too radical and
pronounced stand on the silver lucs.
ton. Again. there are a large number
of Democrats In our State who left us
four years ago on account of this same
plank: they are anxious to come back
to us now and we are anxious To have
them.
The only question is: Shall we block
their return and drive away from us
these other voters so anxious To come
by Haunting promises before their faces
and attempting to forcibly cram down
their Threats u proposition To which
they are opposcdy II Is not necessary
that we take any backward step In this
matter.
~ platform we recently adopted In
Illinois Is perfectly satisfactory To all
of these voters of whom have spoken.
We reafiirm there In spirit and IN man
ncr. In whole and In part. the Chicago
platform of 1896. That Is all IL Is nee
cssary for Ms To do here In this convcn-
ton. What we object 10 Is not only the
rcatiirmation of that platform In Its
entirety. but the special emphasis made
on the part of II which Is most objec.
iionable Ia the voters of whom ! have
spoken. The same condition of affairs
which prevails In Illinois exists also In
Indiana and Wisconsin. All Of these
States We're carried by Democrats In
1889. We can carry them again II we
do not drive away from MS voters who
are now only too anxious 10 join our
ranks. Give us platform like the ~.
cent one adopted in Illinois ana these
States will he found In the Democratic
column"

POPULAR TRIBUTE 10 ALSCHULER

The reception of the nomination of
Samuel Alschulcr as the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Illinois by
the press of the country has been re-
markalbly cordial.
This Is not less true of its reception
by the Republican press than of its re-
ccption by the Democratic press. No
Republican newspaper has a word to
say against the candidate. All join In
te-tlfylng to his integrity. his courage
and his extremely valuable public SER
vices In two successive legislatures as
leader In defense of the public inter
ests against corporate greed
Never has there been finer or more
just tribute to q young man of sterling
character and impregnable integrity
than that which has been rendered by
the practically unanimous voice of the
newspaper press of Illinois irrespective
of party.
There IL nothing standing against the
character of the Republican nominee.
But candid Republican newspapers
must he constrained TO admit that
while there Is nothing TO be- said
against Mr.. Yates there Is nothing
strong to he said In his favor.
Not to have made u bad record il
proof only Of negative virtue. TO have
made Il record which Is cOnfesscdly
above criticism under conditions which
put civil integrity TO the sevcrest test
IL conclusive proof of affirmative vir.

IT Is true. as local Republican news.
