The free text book system, in vogue
in school district No. 5, known as the
Berney district, just east of Walla
Walla and adjoining the city limits,
has been found to give most excel
lent satisfaction. The system was
first adopted 10 years ago at school
election that will probably go down
in history as the hottest election ever
held in the district.
The question Of free text books was
first voted on in 1894, but owing to the
fact that many patrons of the school
did not fully understand the work.
ings of the new law, the proposition was
defeated Prominent residents in the
district took part in the fight and used
their utmost endeavors to defeat the
measure, using in many cases the ar
gument that the next thing that the
advocates of the free text book sys-
tenn would want would be free soup
houses. free clothes, etc. This argu-
ment was used with such good effect
that the proposition was defeated
During the next year, however, the free
text book people advocated their cause
with such good effect that when the
measure came to vote again in 1895
