Free Text Books

"A bill to furnish free text books to
the schools of the state will come before
the legislature. At present the writer
can see no need Of such IL bill. As the
law now stands each school district
furnishes text books free to all children
whose parents ars not able to purchase
them. No child is deprived of the
means of getting IN education because
his or her parents are not able to par
chase the necessary books. Text books
are free to all such children and no one
begrudges them. But why should the
state be taxed to furnish text books to
the children Of the wealth and the
well to-do2 There may be some argu-
1nent in favor Of the proposition that
the writer does not see that would
change his present opinion.
Will those who favor this measure
give MS the reasons upon which it is
based? We are seeking light on this
important matter. Who will give us
the light?
