THE TEXTBOOK COMMISSION.

Before the summer months the Gov
ernor will, in all probability, appoint
the Text Book Commission, whose
duty it will be to select the textbooks
for the children of the State for the
next five years. A grave responsibility
will rest upon the members of this
commission. The people viii look to
them to select the best books for our
children. In this selection the people
will demand that the members be not
influenced by the big book companies.
II any member OF this commission sells
out to the book companies, not only will
the entire membership be besmirched,
but what will be more d~isgraceful,
will he the shame the State will
have to bear. We are not pessimistic
| but the history of these textbooks
| commissions in other States bears us
out in sounding a note OF warning. liz
| the last analysis the Governor will be
held responsible for the work of the
commission. They will be his appoint
ees. Unless his choice of men includes
| the brains, skill, and scholarship Of
the teaching force Of the State We
cannot expect our children to have The
best textbooks for the next five years
This is a matter Of brains, and com
mon sense not OF politics, and we hope
to see none but the best talent anC
the most broad gagged teachers Of
the State as members Of this import
ant commission.
This paper has no interest in an,
book company. While we hope to Sc,
readers placed in u schools that ar,
national in spirit, we also hope that
due regard for Southern authors ant
their writings will be had.
We may perhaps be making a pre-
mature suggestion, but we desire t
say further that when the Commits
sion gets down to business and begin
to make a standard by which to adOp
readers and spoilers, we believe W
voice, at leas, the common Of tn
State, when we express to hope tina
the Commission will take a glanc
backward to the arrangement of No
Guffey's readers of twenty-five q
thirty years ago, and the old time blu
back speller. However, advice an
suggestions will be rendered by til
wholesale ere adoptionS ere made.

Andrew Carnegie has given away
about forty million dollars for libra
ries. It's a fad with him and he evil
IDENTIFY thinks he is doing a great and
beneticient work and his purpose is to
be commended. We have frequently
thought, however, that his deeds of
charity could better be expended in
the creation of a fund to be distribut-
ed to the poor and distressed of the
land. Think about what ten per cent
on $40, 000, 900 would be! We note
that he has offered Meridian SIS, 900
for a library if the city will guarantee
81, 500 per annum to maintain it, and
that the city council there has voted
to accept the donation. Mississippi
is behind her sister states in getting a
share of this fund. We suppose the
reason is that nc request has heen
made of Mr.. Carnegie for it. Why
not Grenada make a request of him to
establish a library here?

PAW PAW TO LAWTON.
Another Electric Road for Paw Paw Pro
jected.

Another electric line, and one which
appears to have many elements of success,
is proposed to run between Lawton and
Paw Paw.
This line is to be built by a company not
interested in the Kalamazoo Benton Har
Dor line, but by one which has we'll mer-
tied confidence in the profits of Paw
Paw-Lawton road.
The names of the stockholders have
not been made public, but it is known
that some local capital is interested. The
company, however, will be largely made
up Of outsiders, who have investigated
the proposed line thoroughly and are
confident of its feasibility.
The leading promoter of the company
is at present in Lawton making further
inquiry.
Surveyor Smith has been employed to
make surveys of two routes. Both routes
start at the corner of Main and Niles
streets, running down Niles to the mill
race they divide, one going along the
bank oflthe race to the Lawton road and
following on the west side of the road to
the Bangs.h hollow, where it goes through
the fields, strikes the railroad and runs
parallel with it into Lawton. The other
line is across the race at the foot Of Niles
street, south to the Warner farm, then
to the railroad and parallel with it until
it strikes the other route. Both routes
are good and it is doubtful as to which
is the more practical.
The entire enterprise has been kept as
quiet as possible, which makes it look
more like business, and an "inside tip"
says the Paw Paw-Lawton electric line
is almost a certainty. 1t will be great
benefit to the citizens of Paw Paw, not
only for the passenger service, but for
the freight traffic as well, and we wish
the new company the greatest success
and will give it our hearty cooperation.

Obituary..

Abner 7. Hartwell was born October
%. 1918, in Rush, Monroe county, n. Y;
died in Paw Paw, Mich, March Is, 1905.
Mr.. Hartwell came to Michigan in 1862,
and lived for number of years at Osh-
temo. He married Mrs. Lucy Rawson in
September, 1866.
AS husband and father Mr.. Hartwell
was kind, indulgent and affectionate; as
friend he was always loyal and true;
as a neighbor genial and hospitable; as a
man he was honest and upright. Though
not professed christian, he always gave
his influence on the side of right, and
lived an exemplary life in the sight Of
God and man.
During his brief but painful illness, he
never murmured, nor was word of
complaint heard to pass his lips. He
acknowledged every kindness with a
smile and pleasant word.
To those who remain he has left the
memory of long, well spent life, and
has gone to his reward full of years and
good deeds.
Funeral services were conducted at
his late home by Rev. f.. RI. Harvey;
burial was at Prospect Hill cemetery.
