N movement is now OH foot in tho
city OF Richmond to provide fret text
books for all pupils. THIS PROPOSE
tion has had thorough test in Mass
achusetts. and has been in successful
operation for thirty years. 1t consti-
tutes further application OF tho same
principle which underlies FREQ build
fngs,, free teachers and free supervis-
lon, and is said to place the cap
stone on free education. There is no
danger In this patcrnalism. 1t Is point
cd out because 1t does not involve any
mootpoint where official action may
arbitrarily infringe on the natural and
inherent rights of parents and guard
ians."
AS the Monitor says. this steady and
substantial Improvement is only be-
ginning. Much has boon done. but
much remains to be done. A still
higher standing is the goal. THE
