The cost Of, providing free text books
FOR the use Of the scholars in the pub
lie schools of Maine remarked State
Superintendent Stetson, on Saturday
averages about. rs cents a year per
scholar. in 1890 there We're $4,000
scholars eprolied in the State and the
average attendance was 100000. The
State law compels towns to furnish
text books free. The total cost. there
fore last Year was about 100000 which
vas paid by the towns. The State only
furnishes text books to the scholars in
urinCorporated places"
Mr.. Stetson,s attention had been call
"d 10 a statement in a. Western paper
that il will cost the state of Kansas
this year at least s2,000,00O to provide
text books for its scholars. The num-
Der Of scholars IN Kansas this year is
estimated at 100000. The cost of a
complete set of books now in use there
is approximately s.. thus making the
total expenditures for all as above.
1t will be seen by Mr. Stetson's state
ment. which is quoted herewith. that
the cost Of text books in Maine is only
one-fifth Of that required in Kansas
and Maine schools are leaders in the
country.

PROMOTIONS EXAMINATIONS
Those Passing at 55 Will Not Require
Another for Five Years.

Secretary Shaw has reached a decision
regarding departmental examinations for
promotion that will be received with de-
light by the bright men and women of the
department. This decision is that clerks
who pass an examination for promotion
in a creditable manner, making as high as
80 out of 100, will not be required to stand
another examination within five years, and
may be promoted within that time as often
as there may be occasion to give them ad-
Vancement. 1t has long been the practice
of the Treasury Department that all clerks
designated for promotion must stand an
examination in the department. A mini
mum of % has been required. Sometimes
1t occurs that a clerk who receives a pro-
motion may, for some reason or other, be
designated for promotion again within a
year or two, Under the practice hereto
fore this clerk would have to stand another
examination to test his fitness far the va
cancy open to him. In the future this will
not be necessary, unless the clerk has failed
to reach mark of IS. Anything below that
number will require another examination
This change in the rules has been made to
encourage the clerks in the department and
to induce effort to stand better examina-
tiOnS
