The Pultney township Board of Edu-
cation held a called meeting yesterday
afternoon to let the contract for the
new school house at Brooks Run. After
this was attended TO, an effort was made
on the part of some of the members
of the board to reconsider the decision
OF the board to adopt certain books in
the township schools.
The representative of the American
Book Company was present, and made
quite a lengthy speech in favor of his
books. lie was ably backed by four
prominent teachers in the schools, who
did not appear to favor the book adopt
ed at the previous meeting.
At this Juncture one of the members
of the board took the floor and made
some very pointed and cueelng remarks
about various things and people, and
especially the American Book Company.
From that on, it was battle royal, each
side getting warmer and warmer untI
things almost became personal. Einally
after much talk, it was decided to defer
the matter of reconsideration until a
regular meeting of the board.
