THE SCHOOLS.

IN al PROBABILITY the school children
OF the public schools OF Indiana viii
have several new books Tor their uss
the next school term, which commenc-
es In September. This is the regular
time In which the state board Of eau-
cation decided on what books are to Ia
retained for use In the public schools
OF the state and what books are to be
eliminated. There has been no
changes in books recently because OF
the state laws which provides that
books shall be changed only after every
five years The law also requires
that the book chosen shall not be Of
an exorbitant price. that will work
hardships on the poorer classes OF the
citizens Of the state.
Held . session.
The state board Of education was in
session at indianapolis Thursday and
Friday and considered some - differ
ent books, the number being about
equally divided between readers, xeog-
raphies, spoilers ana writing books.
This 10 very difficult task for the
board and they have used great pre-
cision. It was also decided at the
meeting of the board that q resolution
be passed in regard to the recent ne
culiar legislation passed by the state
legislature, that the Star Spangled
Banner" be sung by every school in In
diana on every patriotic occasion At
the time Of the passage Of tho bill
there was no provision made for pro-
viding the school children Of the state
with copy Of the song For some
time one verse OF the song has been
left out and very few people have
known this. 1t is the verse in the ma |
tional anthem that pertains to Eng
land. The words OF this verse are:
A Forgotten Verse.
And where is that band, who so val
iantly swore.
That the havoc of ruin and the bat
ties confusion.
A home and country should leave us
no more.
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror Of flight or the
gloom of grace.
And the Star Spangled Banner does
wave in triumph
Ger the land of the free and the !
home of the brave
Because of the fact there was no pro-
vision made for the publishing OF this
patriotic song the state board of eda-
cation referred the county and the city
to the state printing i
office. They also requested the su-
to see that the law was
obeyed,
President Kelly Of Earlham who at
Tended the meeting, stated this morn !
Ing that the next meeting of the board !
will be held May 8. Some of the !
books that are now under considera-l
ion of the board are thought to be
peter than the present books. but the 7
price 10 rather high. In other cases,
