Editor County Record
Please allow me spa, e to ask few
questions with regard to the fur
nishing of text books for the free
schools. ! noticed that the law Jas
published in The REooRD) provides
that the county superintendent of
education should have been fur.
nished with $500 to purchase these
text books. Why is it then that
onr school children are deprived of
these books? know Of several chill
dren who hava been totally deprived
Of school privileges because the
proper books could not be procured.
One of my own chill dren is short sev-
eral of these books and I have ap-
piled three different times to the
superintendent of education for
them without being able to get
them.
/ consider this no small matter for
|. the voters of our county to consider
when casting their ballots. 1t is a
serious matter indeed TO deprive
poor children of free school advan-
tages, their only chance for any sort
sof education, merely because they
can't get the kind of books required,
and!that too, when the law distin IL
" says that the superintendent of
education shall keep them on sale at
\ cost.
The teachers are willing to in
strncts these children without the
books, but to do so would be to risk
! losing their salaries. Thus we have
1t that by the negligence of some of
our officials hundreds of children
are barred from the public schools.
hope this protest will tend to
awaken our officials to a sense of
their, duty. These men are paid by
the county and furnished with the
money by the taxpayers to buy and
keep these books on hand. They
will perhaps say that the amount is
not sufficient; but at any rate it might
be expended better than it is at pres
emf. / can see no excuse for the conf j.
ton that our children are placed in.
Iwish to ask the voters of the
county if the SAME con ditions pre-
vail with them as with US in this
matter. If so, l think We had bet
ter ash candidates for this office in
the next campaign how they stand
along this line. s
LIDO not mean to be personal in
this article, as l do not believe our
present officials are aware of the
great harm that is being done in de-
priying the children of their school
advantages for the reason above sta
ted. hope this will be read in the
spirit in which it is inten ! ed.
