this law, which is termed in the state the Uniform Text Book Law. The law took effect immediately after its passage and has therefore been in operation portion of two years The law provided for a com mission to be composed of the Governor,
 the State Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton and three members from the State Board of Education to be selected by the Governor Immediately upon the adjourn ment of the legislature the commission or ganized with the Governor as chairman and the Superintendent as secretary The commission advertised in the daily papers and solicited bids from all publishers for books to be used in all the public schools in the state We gave sixty days notice and fixed a time for the opening of the bids and awards of contracts. The law also provided for a sub-commission of five practical and experienced schoolmen When the bids were submitted publishers were re- quired to accompany their bids with sam pie copy of each book offered.

AUTHOR OF THE BILL
 TELLS HOW IT PASSED

~ ENATOR EDWARD T. SHAY of
 S Sumner County the author of
 n)1 the present Tennessee bill, was
 D also seen by the Age-Herald correspondent He is not only theauthor of the bil but bore the brunt of the fight in getting the bill through the legislature
 "I became interested in the matter" said the Senator when asked as to the origin of the bill, about three years ago from observing the existing conditions in our public schools, especially with reference to books, the different kinds used, the fre- quent changes made and the eXhorbitant prices at which they were sold. Many times in the same county there would be no similarity in the books used in the public schools; even a person moving from one school district to another In the same coun- ty, if their children attended the public schools, would be forced to buy, if not an entirely new set, at least number of new books. Whenever a change of teachers oc- cured in a school the chances were a change in books would follow. Very often the same teacher felt called upon to change his text books. The prices at which these books were sold were exhorbitant, and no sound reason occurred to me why there should not be uniformity throughout the schools in the state with reference to the text books used.
 T examined the laws of other states which had adopted uniform systems of text books, and in so far as I was able studied the conditions existing and attempted to seek out the imperfections of these laws as demonstrated in their practical opera tion. I prepared the bill which afterward became the law in Tennessee and intro duced it in the Senate. A number of bills looking to state and county uniformity were introduced in both houses of the leg islature. joint resolution was introduced in the Senate and passed both houses cail- ing for the appointment of a special com mttee to whom all bills upon this subject were referred, this committee to examine the various bills submitted and prepare sub stitutes or amendments and report to each house.
 This committee, after examining the

 Enemies of the Bill.
 From the time of the introduction of the first bill into the Legislature the enc mics of the uniform text book system were active The opposition came almost wholly from the book trust itself. They conducted a systematic campaign of opposition, and brought to bear every influence in their power to defeat it's passage. Literature was sent out in opposition to the uniform text book system; they sought the good graces of the school superntendents and teachers, had them address personal let ters to their representatives in the Legis- lature, got resolutions passed by school boards, typewritten copies of which were forwarded in all cases to representatives; and besides carried on an aggressive fight at the capitol Their plan seemed to be to delay the passage of the bill as long as possible.
 Upon the day the bill was to be finally put on its passage a strenuous effort was made to postpone it's consideration. When that failed the plan was to emasculate the bill as far possible by amendments. The friends of the bill. however, succeeded in defeating all amendments except such as they consented to, which were few and inn material.

Special Message for Governor.

''The morning the bill was to be called up Governor McMillin sent into both houses of the Legislature special message urging the passage of the bill.
 Very serious opposition was encountered from the larger cities and incorporated towns of the State which had high-graded public schools, on account of the fear that the books which might be subsequently, se- lected should the bill become law would be inferior to the books which they were then using. However, the bill as it finally passed applied to all public schools alike no exceptions whatever being made. The wisdom of the legislation in this regard has been demonstrated.
 Representatives from the city school board in Nashville sought to defeat the bill entirely, and when they failed in this, they sought to have it amended so as not to ap- ply to cities the size of Nashville. A short time after the law went into- effect there was a change in the city Board of Educa- ton in Nashville, and the uniform system of books was adopted in the public schools and am informed has worked very satis- factorily. No sound reason can be urged why the patrons of the city schools should not be given the benefit of the reduction in price afforded under the uniform text book system There is no reason why the books should not be of a high quality if restric- tions are thrown about their selection and the text book commission is careful in the discharge of it's duties.

He was convicted in the lower court, and his case was appealed to the Supreme Court, and, strange to say, he was represented in the Supreme Court by some of the most eminent lawyers in the State of Tennessee, one of them being a United States Senator from this State The law, however, was sustained Wheth- CT the gentleman of color paid the fees of the eminent counsel who represented him out of sincere conviction that the text book law was wrong and an injustice to

UNITED STATES MAY
BUY PANAMA CANAL

Washington, Nov. president HUI
lin of the Panama Canal company
finally has submitted to Admiral Wal
ker, the head Of the isthmian canal
committee, a proposition on behalf of
his company for the acquisition of all
its rights by the United States gov
eminent. The Panama company has
been restrained up to this moment from
submitting a direct proposition owing
to a clause in the concession which ii
holds from the government of COlom-
bia, which prescribes forfeiture of the
concession as a penalty for the making
of an effort by the company to trans
fer its rights to another government.
The company's agents therefore have
been obliged to act with extreme eau
ton in making overtures, but in some
way the Colombian government has
been induced to wink at this technical
violation Of the concession. Its terms
are not yet disclosed, and it is proba-
bic that they viii not be until the 18th
milan canal commission publishes its
report. It is understood. however. that
they are considerably more favora HE

ures made to the president three wears
