Ii is Not Known What il viii
Do Here.
II May File an Injunction Suit, but
The Matter Is Not Yet
Settled.
QUESTION INTERESTS MANY.

II is not known here what the Ameri-
can book trust intends to do regarding
the decision Of the local board of educa-
tion to use the same books in the city
schools, used last year.
The new school book law fixes an en-
tirely different lot of books from those
used last year, but they do not suit the
local board The American book com
pany furnished most of the books used
last year, as well as those TO be used
under the new contract, and what its
position will be in consequence of the
action of the Paducah school board, re-
mains TO be seen.
II il permits, without objection, the
schools to use the same books used last
year. il will furnish most of the books
and all of them at higher prices than
under the new contract.
Under new contract, however, il
will furnish a much cheaper grade Of
books, so far as material is concerned.
A local book dealer said today that
the trust made more money out Of the
cheap grade Of books Chan il could out
of the better grade. and for that reason
might insist on furnishing the city
schools books under the new state law,
in which event il would have to file an
injunction suit here enioining the board
from using the same books used last
year.
As vet there has not been time to hear
from the American book company and
ascertain what il intends 10 do, but a
great deal Of interest has been aroused
in the matter, as il is one that affects
several thousand children in Paducah as
well as their parents, who have TO pay
for the books.
The Madisonville Graphic is one of
those papers that do not believe the
new law is constitutional in all its pro-
visions, and says;
1T may be that we are treading on
dangerous grounds, perhaps straying IN
TO fields that belong rather to the legal
than the editorial profession, but be that
as il may. we have our opinion in refer
ence to the School Book Bill passed by
the last Legislature and its application
to schools of cities of the first, second,
third and fourth class. especially when
these schools are known as graded
schools. In this article we shall un-
dertake to prove that the bill do not in
any way apply to graded schools in
any other section of the State.
80 far as we are able TO see, there
is nothing in the law making its pro
visions applicable to the school at Mad
isonville, or other towns similarly sit
uated. IL is in fact an amendment to
the pre-existing common school law"

London, Aug l3.-The general opinion

that Japan will make atonement for the

been thrust aside during the course of
the war that Japan may possibly feel
entitled to make law unto hereslf.
