This was not true. On the other
hand they were among the most
influential and public spirited men
in the valley who were willing to
show their concern for the public
good in a more substantial manner
than by growing on the street cor
ner. They had no personal or
financial interest at stake whatso-

State Teachers Association.

The attendance at the association
was not large last week, although
IS of the sc counties were repre-
scented. The sessions were general
ly interesting and well attended by
the members.
State Supt. Browne was president
and made an excellent presiding
officer. 1t is to be regretted that he
is soon to leave the state, but our
loss will be gain for him and for
those with whom he comes into
contact. 1t will be gain for him
a. he anticipates doing post gradu-
ate work in the state university of
California. We shall be glad to
welcome him to Washington when
he finishes his immediate studies.
We say immediate for such a man
is always growing regardless of
whether he is within college walls.
There is evidently division of
opinion as to the desirability OF uni
formity of text books in the State
Of Washington. Some few seem to
think that while state uniformity
is scarcely to be tolerated, it would
be an excellent thing to have coun-
ty uniformity. That would GER
tainly increase the number of jobs
ii that is the central idea. Of
course almost every city sup't likes
to select his own hooks. That,
however, is not proof positive that
such a course is best. 1t is gen.
orally understood, now that the as
ISOLATION is over, that the legislative
committee selected is opposed to a
state adoption of text books, though
what they will recommend instead
is not yet known.
Prof. J. L. Dumas, principal of
the Dayton schools, was elected
president of the association for the
ensuing year. The next session will
be held in Everett during the next
Christmas vacation.
State Observation-Disclosures r. B.
BRYAN in an address at the state
teachers association said he is 60
ing to ask for legislation, at the
coming session, to the effect that
state uniformity of textbooks shall
be repealed. This is surely a straw
showing the direction of the wind
to be in favor of trust book compa-
MES. These companies are work
ing day and night to get hold OF
the pocket-books of the people. 1t
is to be hoped that such legislation
will not prevail.
