CHOOSING SCHOOL BOOKS.

The important duty OF adopting text
hooks for the public schools of this state
for the next five years. viii shortly
devolvo upon the county superlnten-
dents
This function Of the textbook con-
yention viii have very important re-
suits upon the progress of the schools
during the ensuing flve-year period.
we believe that this function and
duty of the book conventions has been
honestly, conservatively. and, as
whole, wisely exercised in the past;
and we have every reason to believe
that the convention about to assemble
will make similarly wise and meritori-
Gus selections.
The convention will DO composed of
first class men and women, who are
believed to he, in intelligence and edu-
cation somewhat above tho average of
county superlntendents throughout the
country; and no one viii be likely to
say that they are lacking IN character
and trustworthiness
The members of the convention should
decide solely upon the merits OF the
books offered for adoption. They should
nay no attention whatever to personal
side Issues Scandalous episodes are
occasionally related by one set OF
ngents against another set, imputing
dishonest or unfair dealing to this or
that rival company Such stories are
always irrelevant and generally Inn
pertinent. They rarely disclose the
whole truth, even when they contain
more or less of the facts. Such SUBJ
stitute for facts about the books Of
Tered should have no weight. But any
sembance OF unfair dealing, any at
tempts to influence the choice of
member by any other means than the
presentation of the merits OF the book,
should be jealousy watched. Should
any agents actually resort TO unfair
practices. their books, we believe, would
and should be less likely of adoption
than If they had been willing to make
clean campaign.
We do not suspect that any member
of the book convention can be induced
by personal or other considerations TO
vote for what he or she believes to be
an inferior hook And we are reason
ably certain that any direct attempt
so to influence any of the members,
would meet with defeat
While Il Is the duty OF the members
to get all the Information they can
about the reliability and honesty of
the different companies. and especially
about their record in living up to the
contracts they make with states, cour-
tries and cities, It is scarcely matter
that should concern any superintendent
to learn how much evil one agent or
one company can say of another.
As to the agents of the various COM
panios. all that we have met appear
to be high class men anxious to pre-
sent their respective books on their
merits.
In any event we feel that the menu
hers of the convention will act accord
ing to THEN best judgment, and not
until a careful investigation and COM
parison OF the books offered has con-
WINGED them as 10 which are the best
for use In the schools.

of the report this year was different
from the usual form. This is not so.
1t was regular IN every respect. To
prove this, we quote the following from
the report read ct the April conference
two years ago:
we The comms;ltce appointed 10
audit the accounts OF the Church for
the year 1905. beg leave TO report as
follows.
I'VE have examined the accounts OF
the Trustee in trust. and are pleased TO
say that they are kept in very busi-
ness-like manner. that the mechanical
part Is very well done, and that as
matter OF bookkeeping they have Moth
Ing to be desired.
I'VE have also examined the accounts
OF the Presiding Bishops Office, togeth-
er with the auxiliary accounts which
ara reported to that Office. These ac-
counts cover verv wide range, As you
are aware, dealing with every Stake
president and Bishop In the Church
and also dealing, as they do, with
things other than cash, there Is largo
amount OF labor and great degree OF
technical knowledge OF bookkeeping
and executive ability involved In prop
erly keeping them, and we are pleased
to say that We found everything In a
very satisfactory condition.
The report closes:
"We are satisfied from our investiga-
tions that the financial affairs Of the
Church under the direction OF the First
Presidency. have been conducted in
most conservative and economical man
ner."
After the reading Of this report Presi-

who wanted to satisfy himself as to
the disbursements, had the privilege OF
inspecting the Church records for him
self.
SO, there IL nothing secret about the
Church finances, and no irregulaTty in
the report of the Auditors. But the
Tribune has predicted the falling off OF
voluntary donations and the disintegra-
ton of the Church, and II Is chagrined
when II finds that the Church Is pro-
crossing. and the members are united
in placing confidence in their leaders
But, once more, would it not be just
as we'll for the Tribune to mind it's own
business, despicable as that business
is?
In It's own phraseology we would say
It will be well for the so-called "Amerl-
can" party dictators to note the com
ment that is going the rounds. concern
ing that city Auditors report that was
never presented to the public, though
the law REQUIRES its publication not lat
er than the first Monday in February?
Why Is the Tribune silent about that
law-breaklng. while it is crlticising the
report of the Church Auditors, when
concerns only Church members? There
ia much warning significance attaching
10 the erumhlings that are being heard
ON every hand. Citizens, who are noti-
fed that they will have TO pay higher

extravaganza, not to say graft, con-
slider that they have been grossly de-
ceived by the party dictators. in fact
