but any change that is made should
be for the better and should be made
after careful Investigation by the most
competent educators Of the territory.
The teachers who daily use these

their good points and their defects,
and should be consulted concerning
the adoption Of new books.
Those who are not actively engaged
in teaching may have some general
ideas, but will hardly be able to pass
intelligently upon the merits of the
several text books now offered in the
market.
