then treated by Mrs. Young and His.

Prof. Lewis also discussed the school
laws of Montana, referring in particu-
lar to the new institute law. The
members of the Hamilton High school
favored the teachers with a couple of
songs, which were very we'll received.

ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS +?

Are you for or against free, text
books in the public schools? That's a
question that must be voted upon at
the annual school election, at the same
time trustees are elected on April A.
one week from next Saturday.
County Supt. Miss Oster,neyer last
week forwarded copies of the new law
creating the text book commission and
which provides for the submission OF
the proposition, to the clerks of all the
districts in the county. She also di.
rected their attention to the fact that
IN school districts where the PROPOSE
tion does not carry at this election the
children will have bought books before
another election can be held and the
purpose of the law will have been in a
measure defeated should the free book
proposition carry at subsequent
election.
The new law creating the text book
commission provides that said COM
mission shall meet on the third Mon
day in June and adopt a uniform series
of text books for all the public schools
of Montana and shall approve of books
which may be used in districts that
adopt free books and shall adopt and
contract for series of books for a
period of four years from and after
Sept. l, 1908. Under the law the con.
tract prices of books shall not exceed
the lowest wholesale prices charged
for the same books F. o. B. in Chicago
to any state of the United States.
Trustees are required to keep these
prices posted conspicuously in every
school room.
In districts adopting free school
books the school trustees must furnish
the board of county commissioners
with an estimate of the amount of
money required to pay for its books
and the county board then fixes a
special levy upon the taxable property
of said district to cover the expense.
The free school book proposition
long ago passed the experimental
stage. Many states now furnish free
school books and not one has ever re-
turned to the old system. In the Hell
ena school district free text books
have been used for the past five years.
According to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat, which is advocating the
adoption of free text books by the
state of Missouri, Michigan's free
school books cost an average of from
AZ to 81 cents year per pupil. In
Minnesota there are 1864 districts
supplying free school books at an av-
erage cost of 80 cents per pupil per
year in country districts and 81 cents
in the city and town districts.
Following are sections II and 13 of
the law which provides for the SUBJ
mission of the school book PROPOSE
ton:
"Sec. II. Upon the petition of
five legal voters of any school district
other than in Incorporated cities, and
upon petition of one hundred legal
