THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION

New Orleans States: On Monday the
State Board of Education will meet to
ccusider the awarding Of contracts and
fixing prices upon the books that are to
Be used in the public schools during the
next four years. ears ago when the
Book Trust had the State i'll its grip
the price which the public school patrons
had to pay for the school books were
very much higher than they have been
during the past several years.
L was Governor Heard who broke the
power Of the Book Trust and thereby
secured much lower prices than had
formerly prevailed. but to do that he
had to perform startling act of tyran-
ny which had few precedents i'll the
history Of Democratic government III
Louisiana. That act was to demand and
secure the resignation Of members of
the Board who could not be persuaded
that by breaking the power Of the Trust
the cost of books would be cheapened
SUUUGlG1lSly ~ compensate lVt HtaNu'k
the change. The action Of Governor
Heard was despotic, but it was approved
BY the press and public generally as Of
fcring the only means whereby the cost
OF education could be cheapened
Since that time the effort on the part
of the State Board has been to improve
the character of the text books as far
% that can be done without making
changes that will work too much hard
ship upon the school patrons. The pol
ICY has been, and the laws of the Board
require. that, oil things else being rea-
sonably near equal, preference should be
given to Louisiana pro 'uctions. This
policy Is followed in great number Of
TIE States Of the Union, and>we believe
