Governor Vardaman, likely, will
the text book commission
the next week. The duty
Of this com mission will be to adopt
books for use in all the public
schools of the State, for q period
of five years, beginning October l.
1905. No more responsible duty
can fall to any educator than TO
choose the subject matter that is
to shape the ideas, am billions, pat
riotism and character of all the
youth of the State. Ii is hoped
that no theorist. or person who as
sumes that the same books are
suited to the rural and city schools
alike, will chance to be appointed
on this com mission, as the envi-
ronments. length of term and reg
ularity of attendance in the coun-
try schools differ greatly from the
schools of the towns. The course
Of study, therefore. cannot be SO
extended or comprehensive in the
schools OF the country as in the
towns, and this, and other things,
should and will determine the
character and scope of the books
adopted for each.
A commission composed entirely
of college presidents and superin.
tendents of city schools would
scarcely comprehend the needs of
the rural schools. and would, most
likely, adopt books in accord with,
and to meet the demands of their
own work. What is wanted is a
text book committee that repre-
sents every phase of public school
work in the State and that is &C.
quainted, by experience, with the
conditions to be met in the coun-
try AS we'll as in the towns. a
commission of this kind would
necessarily include some teachers
from the country schools, who
would know from having grappled
with the conditions there, what
books are best suited i'm arrange
ment, matter and scope to the ru-
raj schools.
The introduction of a uniform
series of books in all the schools
of the State, while it will be an
ultimate convenience and economy
is going to prove quite expensive
on the start, and will retard at
tendance in the schools when first
inaugurated, because it will force
the people to buy an entirely new
outfit of books i'm at least seventy
five per cent. of the counties. This
a large element of the people will
be slow to do, and the uniform
text book law, when first put into
operation, will be the most unpop-
ular thing in Mississippi. This.
however, will be temporary. as the
people will soon realize its econ
omy and convenience. The sue
cess of the law depends on the
commissions making wise selec
ton of books.

The Chinese doctor sets up a ter
rible racket when called to treat the
sick. This is supposed to drive evil
spirits away and it unquestionably
acts well in a great many cases. Civil-
cation demands rest and quiet; all
noise is barred from the sickroom. The
Chinese have demonstrated, unknow-

had received the last rites of the
church, the pulse had ceased at the
wrist and he had sunk into that coma
which precedes death.
