| OF course, technically Mrs. Fowler and
| the other members OF her committee will
report on this matter as best suits their
pleasure. but as matter OF fact they
will make report which will best suit
Chairman Little.
The Democratic members OF the general
committee are waiting patiently 10 leaxp
what IL Is proposed 20 do with the new
books for they were a part OF the old
committee which ordered them and they
desire that the books shall be used as II
was intended they should be as the text
books OF the schools. They have no OBJ
jections TO the using OF the old books as
supplementary, but they do not believe
that a supplementary" text book Is the
whole thing. The next meeting Of the
committee whenever IL Is held Is likely TO
have some interesting features and II Is
perhaps because Chairman Little expects
this that he is not anxious to hold 1t any
sooner than he is obliged to do so.
IL is possible that one OF the reasons
a meeting OF the committee at once is
TO give the property committee time 10
secure bids for the construction OF the
new addition to the Lincoln avenue school
for which the city council had made an
appropriation OF 5000. OF course. the
plans for this addition have first to be
drawn and approved and then the bids
for construction must be received. after
which they will be submitted TO the gen.
eral committee. which board will author
ize the letting OF the contract. II Is well
known that the property committee, and
especially its chairman. is pretty busy
on the other work which II Is doing and
consequently IL Is no more than fair that
II should be given all the time II deems
necessary for this work.
