THE BOOKS ADOPTED
Silver Burdette & Co. do Not
Forfeit Their Contract.
Teachers Nay Select Their Choice on Agrcr-
turp, Civil Government, N. c.
History

The Silver, Burdette & Company book
contract with the State has been &C
cepted
This was done at a meeting of the
State Text Book Commission yesterday, at
which Governor Aycock presided.
The matter of the consideration of the
question whether or not Silver, Burdette
& Company. had forfeited their deposit
and had violated the terms on which their
books were adopted by the Commission, in
not having signed the contract by August
l. 1901, was considered and the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Commission is of
the opinion from statement of the facts
in the case that a forfeiture can not be
declared and that the contract of Silver
Burdette &; Company as rendered be ac-
copied"
The Commission paid due attention to
the protests that non-uniCn labor was
used In the printing of the books of Sill
yer, Burdette e Company, but under the
law by which the contract had been
given found that they were bound in the
matter by duty law and consistency to
carry out the contract, the failure to sign
by August first being an unavoidable
matter.
In obedience 10 the law by which it is
required that the effects of narcotics and
alcohol be taught in the primary classes
in the public schools the Commission
adopted Overton's Primary Applied Ply
siology. This is published by the Ameri
can Book Company and the price is to be
agreed upon This will probably be 25
cents a copy, 1914 cents exchange.
The Commission decided not to adver>
tise at present for books on the subjects
Of civil government agriculture and his
tory of North Carolina as it understood
books on these subjects are being pre-
pared and will be available this fall.
i In the meantime, as these subjects are
to be taught in the schools the. teachers
are authorized to use such books on the
subject as they see fit, pending the adop-
ticn. The Commission is anxious to Sc
cure good school history of North Caro-
lima and the members hope this delay in
making a selection will secure a valuable
work
The State Superintendent and State
Treasurer were authorized to sell the
sample books now on hand these being
the books sent in for examination by the
Commission The State superintendent
was also instructed to write to the Uni
versity PUBLISHING omTany for sample
copies of the readers and biographies
adopted by the Commission.
The State superintendent announced
that the circulars giving full information
as to the adoption of books, with sugges-
tions about them, was in the hands OF
the printers, and would be distributed i'll
a very short time. f ti.e .

JUST ANYB0DY's ELECTION NOW,
The Longest Pole Will Get the Bond Persim
mon Next Monday.

The bond election is now anybody's
election The registration is acknowledged
by both sides to be close, and it is evil
dent to those familiar with political
methods that the man who does the most
work will win out.
The registration is the largest ever
known here in bond election and al
most as large as the registration in close
regular city elections. In the bond cleo
tion two years ago, only LOO voters reg
istered as against 2,0S3 this year; and in
the city elections of 1895 and 1897 the reg
istration was about 200.
According to the latest census OF
voters, there are only about 900 whites
and 400 negroes that have not registered
for the present bond election.
