NEED MORE TIME.
State Text Book Commission
Can't Finish in Ten Days.

At its present rate Of progress. the text
DOCK commission viii not begin to get
through IN the ten days allowed it by law
Tor its first session. It began on the sub
lect OF physics Wednesday morning and
then took up history and It is still working
on history this afternoon On neither of
these subjects is there as hard a fight as
on some Of the others.
The biggest fights will probably be on
spoilers, readers and arithmetfcs. particu-
larry the two latter. About ten of the
largest houses are bidding on arithmeties
and they are doing everything possible
to land the contract because there will
probably be more profit in arithmetlcs
than IN any other line OF books. The
largest volume of business viii be in read
ers. and there viii also be about ten bid
ders for that contract Among them will
be Miss Lizzie E Wooster, the Kansas
author. who has just completed a fun ser
les of readers
There are stin p subjects to be consid-
cred including all Of the more important
ones. and as three days Of the ten are al
ready gone. it can be easily seen that the
commission can not finish its work in ten
days unless it Is able TO push matters
faster than 1T has been doing.
The members of the commission are
earning their money. Some school book
agent IS laying for them during all Of
their waking hours. and escape from the
agents is almost impossible
