TEXlI,.T BOOK CHANGES
Will Be offered For the Five Year
Adoption-The Regulations Made
By the Board.

The agents Of textbook houses are
IN the State pressing the claims Of
their. respective. publications. The
s:book fight" as it is known, re-
quires the services of scholarly writ
ers and indefatigible workers. The
general public has no idea how inter-
esting this campaign really is 1t is
said that one member of the State
board Of Georgia received over $75
worthEof sample copies of text books.
To examine each and every one would
be an endless task and the State
board perhaps makes selections as
much on the reputation Of the writ
crs and publishing houses as for any
other reasons. 1t is said to be the pol
icy Of the department Of education
to make as few changes as possible,
but to get rid of any. trashy publica-
tions which might have been adopted
in former years.
The adoption of books is to cover a
period Of five years, as is the case In
other states. May 22nd was the day
fixed for filing; bids, and bids will be
\ received from this time until the y
& of June when the board will meet to
make adoptions.
Readers, histories, arithmetics and
biographies are the branches Of study
on which the hardest fights are made.
1t is said that there will be hard eft.
fort made to gst the board to adopt!
the history of the United States writ,
ten by Mr.. Waddy Thompson, of AT
aanta, brother of Col. Henry T.
Thompson Of Columbia. This is pub
lished by D. G. Heath s Co.. of New
York. Another strong effort is being
made in behalf of the history of the
United States written by the Rev..
Hepry Alexander White, D. D., OF:
the Columbia Seminary, and publish.
ed by Silver, Burdett & Co The
board will give careful considera-
tion to these two propositions, bui
may decide that the books now in use
are just as good. The board may not
have time to examine the merits or
errors of all text books offered, but
in the matter. of. selecting histories
great care will probably be observed.
In selecting text books, the first
thing to be considered is subject mat
ter, then price and finally relative
merit in mechanical excellence with
the promise of durability. To those
whose school days knew nothing more
poetic than Webster's "blne back
speller," the beautiful primers of to-
day would be a revelation. The In
sgenuity ofwriters and of printers has
been taxed to work out color schemes
which would be in good state and yet
would teach children the colors and
shades in way which would make
the entire reading lesson entertaining
ss we'll as instructive.
