new SCHOOL BOOKS.

How many TJthe News rea-

the time is up on the text books
now used in the public schools
of the State? Whether the
present ones are retained or a
new lot must be purchased de,
ponds upon the action of the
State Board now in session at
Austin. The Fort Worth Regis.
ter commenting on the probable
outcome says:
"A difficult and delicate task con-
fronts the state text book board now
giving hearings to publishers. 1t Is
ar ms ~ difficult and delicate than
the orIS }al selection i've years ago.
because then the board had only to
choose the cheapest and the best,
while now, serious consideration
must be given to the fact that the
books of the past five years are In
use, already owned by the people,
and changes will necessarily be cost
~ TO the school patrons.
"a student OF the situation cites
statistics TO show that last year
new book purchases were only 20
per cent OF what they were the first
year. This means that the books
pas from child to child In the family
or are sold second hand. the same
set serving two, three or more years.
To change them will make these old
books a dead asset; to re-adopt
them Will keep the asset alive with
only twenty per cent yearly addi-
tion for loss and wear.
"Other things being equal, there
tore-that is, book OF the old series
being as good as a proposed book
the board will certainly retain the
old. Other things being nearly
equal, they should and doubtless VIII
do 80. But how nearly equal should
they be, or how much superior
should the proposed book be, to
warrant a change-that Is the ques
ton which makes the task difficult
and delicate.
There Is false economy as harm

IL would be false economy for the
board to retain q grossly inferior

DOWN ON The FARM"

One OF the greatest mistakes now
being mnde by the farmers IL that o!
educating the boys away from the
farm. In no other walk OF life IL
there the opportunity for reading,
recreation and the higher njoyments
OF life rs there IL on the farm. Men
In the trades and professions are
seeing this every day and nrc leaving
the fierce battle for life OF the city
and seeking the quiet Of the farm to
spend their remaining days. Edu-
cate the boys and girls as highly rs
you can, but teach them from the
cradle up that It IL just ~ honorn-
bic to plow as to practice law and
that there Is great deal more pleas
urc in it.-Weatherford Democrat.
In France, where people have
learned how to get the most ont OF
life. 1t is every man 5 ambition to get
money enough ito live In the country
like II gentleman. Certainly 1t IL
the ideal liie.-Ft. Worth Register.
There too dwells simple truth,
plain innocence; unsullled beauty;
sound unbrOkcn youth, patient OF
labor. with little pleased: hoalth
cverblooming; unambitious toll, calm
contemplation. and poetic ease.
Some have said that happiness.
the great boon Of human life, Is In
the taste. and not In the things
themselves; that we are happy from
possessing what we Ike, not from
possessing what Others like. Bnt In
this particular instance the evidence
il strong against the prevalent de-
sire Of the city bred man to try his
hand at farming and thereby enjoy
the felicity Of his surroundings. And
the farmer lmagines he can better
manage the modern city government
than his "high-cOllared" tcndsrioot
brother, and thus 1t goes. But this
personal experience along this line
the writer does know. and that IL
that II Is n kind of happiness to
know to what extent we NAV he
unhappy. Give the boy n chance to
exercise his own inclination in this
matter. The birds that sing the
beautiful songs and the freedom Of
nature In her cultivated trim may
not coincide with the boys particu-
lar idea OF what should compOse n
busy mans life. But this to the
credit OF the boy who receives his
training on the farm, he IL mentally
md physically able to cope with his
'high-collard" brother in the
,ity.

Rome, March 3.-From sunrise today
all Rome was on the alert showing the
most unusual animation and interest In
celebrating the twenty-ffth anniversary
of the coronation of Pope Leo XIII.
Vast crowds gathered around st. Peters
and when the doors opened there was
an indescribable struggle in which those
present forgot all rules of holiness in
the effort to reach the interior OF the
sacred edifice. Numbers OF women had
their gowns ruined and some had
to be carried away in a fafnting
condition. After hours OF fatiguing
waiting the majestic procession began
to appear. A few minutes after eleven
the Pope was brought in on new Sc liza
gestatoria, carried by twelve men. They
appeared more than human and seemed
more like white spirits as they moved
their hands slowly in benediction. l'ro-
found silence fell over the multitude as
the Pope performed mass, and after
benediction retired. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 people, including about 1000
Americans, were present.
