The School and
The Text Books

With the inauguration OF new
tangled lot OF ideas and sub divisions
of the State by different professors
and school superintendents, the par
ents OF the children in the schools
rise up and make kick, and justly.
Every opening OF a term at public
school the parents are called upon to
go into their pockets and pay to the
trust book makers a lot of money
that is useless. The old books bought
a term before, are declared useless,
and are thrown into the trash heap.
The superintendent of Public In
struction, and his sub-professors,
hold a meeting and select new line
of text books, which the parents and
guardians are forced to buy at the
prices set by the trust. There is no
choice. The youngsters have to at
tend school under the law or the par
ents are liable. The price to the home
maker is the last consideration.
There is not home in Carson,
Reno or any other town or City in
Nevada, but that lot of good, but
declared obsolete books can be found
dray loads of them, nay. train loads
would be nearer. just why this
change is not stated. 1t is announced
from headquarters. The school trust
ees OF each district are informed
what is what and the parents foot the
bill.
1t is time the people and not the
book trusts were considered The
generation that graduated before
had as clean an insight into good
common school elements as the pre-
sent. They gained their knowledge
from books that gave information
that was readable; that made clever
men and women and it was not nee
essary to change text books with
every term.
There is not an opening OF the
school but that complaints come to
this office asking why this unnecc-
ssary change and expense is saddled
on to the wage Garner. There has
been but one answer and that is that
the text book concerns must be taken
care Of
Instead OF practicing economy to
the parents and helping them along
by less expense, the state board meets
and assesses lot of new expense on

Awake at Last

This morning the News awakened
to the fact that the State OF Nevada
is shy of funds. 1t is with consider
able pleasure that the readers realiz-
ei that the morning paper had been
r,dely awakened from its slumbers.
FOR the past month others have
known of the condition but it must
tave taken the shaving OF warrants
to awaken the contemporary from its
sleep.
The News states that Governor
Oddie warned the Legislators OF the
impending wrecking of the treasury
ship. For Captain who had the
wheel in hand he did some pretty
bad steering From the list of appro-
priation bills he signed, with a
wrecked treasury in sight, it would
appear that his pilot was off his
course.
The Governor had chance to
raise taxation at the last meeting OF
the State Board OF Revenue. 1t was
notable that he did not put a motion
before the Board asking for hori-
zontal raise. The revenue law is all
right and the Governor as Chairman
has more power than any other indi
vidual or member thereon Nevada
bad one experience with a Commits
SION. which also would have to be
failure that ever decorated the pages
of the taxation history.

now wake up as has the News. 1t is

The financial conditions OF the

them until some solution of the de-

matter that concerns and is of the
greatest interest and importance to
every citizen of the State. Just at
the time when he is most needed the
Governor, the one who can SOLVE the
problem, takes trip to the coast and
leaves the old ship wallow in the
breakers.
