TEXT BOOKS FOR THE PUBLIC
s school,

s 2DdIOH ROuRc, the SEare Board OF EduCa
tion has announced the list of the tex
books for use in the public schools Of
the State for the next four years. There
has been considerable lobbying by pub
fishers interested in securing contracts
but it would appear that the selections
by the board promise to be more salts.
factory than in years past. The board
IN its deliberations were governed by
two principles, the merit and the cost OF
each book, and preference has been
given, all things being equal, to the home
author and publishers who being South
erners, are in sympathy with the South
and its people.
In this connection it is but fair to say
that much Of the better ment in the books
1 selected IS due to the Historical Com
nittee of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, of whom Walter Guion, Attorney
General Of Louisiana, is chairman. 1t
was this committee who called attention
to the fraud perpetrated, designedly and
maliciously, by the Interpolation of a
spurious and Hbelous verse of the Star
Spangled Banner. This fraud was per-
petrated by Northern publisher and
was sang IN schools of the South by
Southern children whose sires were
damned as Rebels and traitors. 1t is said
that this verse is the effusion of Oliver
Wendell Holmes, noted chiefly for the
rankness Of his Abolitionistic tendency
and his radical prejudice against the
South and all that which is dear to the
South. The verse in question is glar-
ingly false in its every line and word
and as unlike Keys production as day
IS to night. The Star Spangled Banner,
at written BY Francis Scott Key, breathes
Of patriotism and love Of country and has
no reference to the wickedness of the
South or its Rebellion. The Music
Primer, in which this fraud was pub
listed, was discarded through the efforts
ct Judge Guion and the Historical Com
n1ittec of the Confederate Veterans, and
20 this same committee is due the full
credit for the betterment in the change
Of books, especially histories, from which
at one time were taught the children OF
Southern men. The people of the South
can not Be too well guided in the selec-
ton Of the best books for their public
and private schools With the improve
nIents already secured. there is yet much
more good to be accomplished. One of
the great factors who have been ignored
are the school teachers who have had no
voice ii the selection Of the text books |
md who have, perhaps, remained silent
d the apprehension of mourning the dis
pleasure of the State Board. However,
q time, the State Board Of Education, as
ReIl IS the superintendents, will be elect

iirectly responsible. The teachers, if |
consulted would be Of material assist
me- il sitting the good from the unde-
irabie books for the public and the pri-
ate schools Of this State, at least.

'No person shall, within the State Of

they have been killed or caught. No

The law provides a fine OF So for each
aud every breach Of the law and

OF any person.
Many Of the birds enumerated above
are allowed to be killed at certain sea-

The throngs OF people that are COM
ing to Florida this winter surpass any
thing ever before known in the history
Of the State. Every hotel and board
ing house is filed to It's capacity, and
in many places where there has been
numerous new hotels, boarding houses
and cottages erected for this winters
traffic, they are now crowded to their
utmost. The like has never been
known, and the severe cold that has
been experienced In the North this
winter, will be the cause Of more peo-
Pile coming here next winter. Out Of
the thousands who come many will be
looking for the most healthy location,
and Gainesville should now begin to
make room for them, as there is no
place in Florida that can back up her
assertions In regard to healthy loca-
tion better than Gainesville, with the
pure ozone and purest water In the
State.
With a number OF cottages for men
OF moderate means who come South
for their health in winter, we should
have five hundred more people for four
months Of each year Many will also
come here to live permanently, where
they can enjoy good health
The only objection many people have
to locating in Florida for a permanent
residence, is the delusion that it is so
very hot in midsummer When they
learn that the heat is not more oppres-
sive here than in the North during the
summer, they will be content to re-
main here.
The time is ripe now to let the peo-
pie know what we have at Gainesville,
and the only way to do that is with
printers ink. Get busy now.
