To the Editor,

Just now there Is taking place In Salt
Lake city what should be Of more In
terest to the people Of the state than
even the Mortensen trial. That Is the
adoption OF textbooks for the public
schools during the next five years. Ire
mendous interests are involved In the
/ awarding Of contracts and consequently
Il Is natural to suppose that bribery
and corruption viii get In It's insidlous
work II 1t can,
The writer spent one day at the con-
yention, and came in contact with all
sorts Of pushers Of this book or that.
So long as legitimate methods Of pro-
noting are followed, zeal must be
counted oommendable, but charges are
now being made both covertly and op-
enly that the book trust has captured
and Is capturing everything In sight.
The head Of this octopus. so II Is
charged. Is the American Book com.
panyi the tentacles are represented by
firms. ostensibly working alone. but
actually and truly as much a part Of
the trust as Is the head itself II Is
that every book adopted so
far, with the exception Of the gram
mars, which remain unchanged, Is a
trust book; that whatever be the dis
cusslon concerning the merits OF other
books, when II comes to a SHOW down"
the deadly ~" are always on hand
to carry out the behests OF the trust.

mere fact that the principal had car
ried his point.
The disagreeable relations between
the principal and the professor are
said 10 have existed for several months,
and that they were perfectly apparent
to the members Of the school, II is said
that Mr. Eaton represented that Prof.
Millert was not as efficient In his work
this year as he was last, which was
an added reason for wanting his re-
| m0vaL Supt. Christensen was disposed
| 10 think more OF Prof. Millerts work
! than the principal but he held that
inasmuch as Mr.. Eaton was at the
head Of the school and was responsible
for It's work his wishes should be acced-
ed to, hence the removal
As soon as Prof. Millert was informed
OF the action Of the board he rendered
his recognition, which was accepted at
the regular meeting that followed the
committee meeting. There was nothing
In the regular session TO indicate that
the professor had been under discus
sion.
