State Uniformity In Text Books.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
Will you allow a teacher who was edu-
Gated in Alabama and who has been
teaching more than twenty years in her
schools in different sections of the state
to express his views concerning state uni
formity of textbooks?
Some of our best teachers have been
needlessly frightened by the phrases
cheap books" and barefoot boys and
girls of Alabama" and especially by
that man from Atlanta representing
a so-called publishing house that pub
fishes no books. Hearing that he offers
to furnish school books at half price, and
that he intends to do. this by buying up
books discarded by teachers elsewhere
our teachers have entered a protest. L
do not believe our governor and state
superintendent ana the educators selected
by them, would for a moment consider
such a proposition. They know that IN
ferior books are not cheap at any price,
and they would not check the revival of
the educational spirit In our state by
forcing worthless books upon our chill
dren.
1t seems to me that the time is now
ripe for the adoption of "A uniform series
of text books for the whole state. Sys-
tenn is needed In Alabama schools. Every
community with its teacher Is now law
unto itself There is practically no super
vision by county or state. The course of
study and textbooks are changed with
every teacher or the continued use of old
books is demanded by parents. In either
case the children suffer The first step
toward state supervision was taken when
state board Of examiners supplanted
the county boards. The next step will
be taken when state commission selects
the books and fixes the prices, Along
with this should come direct supervision

If the county superintendent now in Of
dee are not competent to direct the school
work in their respective counties, the
state should provide means to secure bet

aor' lawyers nor even editors, should be
employed to supervise the schools. With
uniform series of textbooks and in
.elligent supervision, all the schools of

we would have a state school system.
With a state commission composed of
eading school men, who would select the
BEST books and not the cheapest, the
children of Alabama will have better
looks than many schools are now using.

the cost of writing books drawing ma

the curriculum of so many schools, but

that our people are ready to turn over to

Letters from the People.

following such a well-deflned outline as
of books.
How will this law affect the towns and
cities which have, at great expense, built
up excellent graded schools, supplied with
the best books and the most approved
appliances? VIII it bring them down to
the level of the rural schools? An IRON
clad law could be passed that would have
this tendency, and it is against such a
law that city superintendent are pro-
testing | believe, however, that an act
could be so framed and the law so exc
cuted as not to be so great calamity
to these cities as some of my fellow
teachers seem to fear. If the state COM
mission should select only the books used
as the basis of instruction in each sub
ject, both In the elementary and high
school, and should allow city boards to
select their own supplemental work, as
the law in some states provides, the
change could be made without greatly
deranging our city school systems.
[ would not be true to the fifteen hun
dred children now in the Bessemer
schools-children who were once bare
footed boys and girls" but who now wear
shoes and stockings-if l did not advocate
the passage of a law by which they could
secure books at less cost. l would be
doubly false to them if / did not demand
that this should be done without improv-
ing the efficiency of the school facilities
which they now enjoy.

.PETTUS OBJECTS
TO THE TREATY
Says It viii Not Allow An
American Canal
PLATT DIFFERS WITH HIM
Senator Morgan Introduces Amend
ment Which Provides That the
coneordat of 1888 Shall Not
Apply to U. S. Citizens.
PlATT DIFFERS WITH HIM

Washington, February 21-After the
transaction of some morning business
and when the senate went into executive
session for the second time, Senator
Quay took the floor and said he desired
to present certain reports, which he would
like to have read by the clerk. The read
ing clerk took up a long report on the
isthmian canals, which Mr.. Quay sent up.
The reading of the report consumed
three hours and after this was concluded
Mr. Pettus made a brief speech directed
principally at what he termed the repeal
of the Spooner act by the treaty. He
contended that as a legal proposition the
appropriation made by the Spooner law
for the purpose of securing perpetual
control of the canal would not be avail
able under the treaty providing merely
for a lease of the canal strip. He also
said the American people would not be
satisfied with anything less than thor
oughly American canal, one which could
be defended by the United States at all
times; which the Panama canal could not
be under the terms of the treaty.
Plat Takes Issue With Pettus.
Senator Plat of Connecticut took issue
with Senator Pettus as to the effect of
the treaty, saying that he believed there
were no legal obstacles in the treaty, to
the acquisition by the President of the
canal zone, but he contended that if there
were any such obstacles, they could be re-
moved by another act of congress, re-
appropriating the money.

consent to the removal of the injunction
of secrecy from the amendments to the
treaty which have been offered by him..
Most of the important amendments
have been given publicity but he Of
fered two new ones today. One of these
provides for an agreement between the
contracting parties that nothing con-
tanned in the treaty shall be construed
to alter the terms of the Spooner act.
Morgan's Amendment.
The other amendment is as follows ut
is agreed that in respect for the rights of
citizens of the United States under their
constitution and for the humane state of
the Christian religion in which ordinances
and prescriptions of the Spanish inquisis
tion have no place or meaning; that the
provisions of the concordat of 1888, be-
tween His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, and
the government of Colombia, and the
laws enacted by Colombia, or that shall
be hereafter enacted in furtherance or
execution of said eoncordat, shall not
apply to any citizen of the United States
In Colombia, or to any person who shall
be in the service of the United States, or
to any officer, agent or servant of the
United States, who is in any way en-
gagged in the construction or operation
of a canal. or the Panama railroad, under
the provisions of this treaty.
Senator Cullom gave notice that he
would move again on Monday to con-
tinue the executive session for the con-
sideration of the treaty.

Bishop Galloway said he presumed
the rumors of his probable appoint

and that his views on the question of
the negro were generally understood
