ANENT BOOK QUESTION.
Editor Times Republican: In your
Issue of Sept. 10 observe an editorial
forecasting some of the issues to come
before the next legislature. Your refer
to the superintendent of the West Des
Moines schools as now preparing Dill
for state uniformity of text books which
will do away with the county adoption
system.
| have given your article careful
reading and while there is always rea-
son for Improvement and 1 favor such.
/ am greatly in hopes that state uni
fcrmity will never obtain in Iowa. For
the working of such uniformity will
only refer you, or any one, to such a law
iE the states of Indiana, Minnesota and
others.
The question of state uniformity was
thoroughly aired in the Twenty third

Jority of the counties they resorted to
the courts with their difficulties

business is favored because Of the
cheaper books as the result. Then why
not favor free text book?
Buy where you can buy the cheapest,
all things considered. No monopoly or
trust. No great book concern to enter
into political campaigns.
Am very much in hope that this text
book matter will be carefully considered
and wisely acted upon, for Iowa, you
know, affords the best
