st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE out,
burst of enthusiasm aroused in mill
tary and naval circles, at, the prospect
of sea- fight which may change the
whole complexion Oft the war finds na
echo in the liberal press, which views
with something akin to, alarm even
the remote possibility of. a turn of for.
tune which would strengthen the gov
ernment at home. The Chauyinistic
organs, however. are filled with. long
articles discussing Admiral Rojestven-
sky's chances, but they are all based
on the theory that the whole squadron
has reached the China sea. The No
voc Vremya highly commends the ad.
miral for having safely accomplished
the difficult feat of bringing the
squadron through. declaring the die
is now cast. The .Bourse Gazette
manifests undisgufsed pleasure at the
scare In British shipping circles anu
the furry In insurance rates produced
by the sudden appearance of the Rus
sian squadron Off Singapore after the
British had convinced themselves that
the squadron would never go to the
Far East. ~, ..sg.,,E,..
Japan, says the, Bonrse Gazette,
'..now stands to lose the mastery of
the sea, together with the fruits Of all
her success on land" -. ] !, i
Other papers express doubt as to
whether sea fight is imminent, ex-
pressing the opinion that Rojestven-
sky ia likely to await Rear. Admiral
Nebogatof and, that Admiral Togo
will retire. closer to his base before
accepting battle.

Nearly all county boards of education
have selected books for the schools under
their respective jurisdictions and have,
in the main, done" we'll. Perhaps not
more than one-third of the books have
been changed and they have been those
that needed changing most.
AS result of changes in textbooks
recently made by the county boards of
education, it is expected that there will
be great improvement IN the teaching OF
grammar and history in the schools. The
people will also welcome the natural slant
in penmanship as a substitute for the
vertical.
State Superintendent Carrington is
distributing to the counties copies of the
school laws passed by the recent legisla-
ture. He is also sending out "Synopsis
of the Compulsory Attendance Law" I'd
be posted in each district ten days before
school opens. District clerks may expect
thecounty school commissioner to supply
them with these required notices.
The state library board recently at a
meeting in Kansas City, revised the lisi
of library books, from which school dis-
fricts must select their books. Every
rural school district, under the require
ments of the law, should spend each year
from five to twenty dollars for library and
supplementary books. The district car
not make a better investment. The state
superintendent has supplied county
superintendents and commissioners witt
copies of the revised list.
Six years ago, the state course of study
was first issued. It was arranged to suit
the adopted books. A change in books
made it necessary to revise it.. This has
been done by the state superintendent
assisted by many OF the best teachers o
the state. It is fuller and more definite
in its suggestions. 1t is not based on an.
special textbooks, but may be used sue
cessfully with any good texts. tits sen

he says that county boards have no au-

These opinions are not inconsistent in
the least. County boards OF education
thould select books and arrange with
publishers and dealers that they be on

economy and uniformity, school boards

the books selected and recommended by
