JUDGMENT NECESSARY
IN TEXT BOOK LAW
Tampa Times.

In the midst of our rejoicing over
what we justly esteem a great victory
for the people and a great achieve
ment in the interests Of economy, we
should not shut our eyes to the fact
that there are features of the text
book problem that will require care
full scrutiny and close watching. The
war is not over with the gaining of a
single battle. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" Ceaseless
watchfulness is necessary to pre-
serve to our children the fruits Of the
victory won in the adoption of state
uniformity.
Most of the states of the south have
textbook uniformity laws, and have
had them for years. In all of them
they are pronounced successful and in
none of them would they voluntarily
be given up. But from time to time
dangers have beset the system that
have sometimes threatened to destroy
1t. and only the fearless vigilance Of
its devoted friends have brought 1t
safely through the perils that have
surrounded it.
South Carolina is one Of the states
that have had a uniformity law in
successful operation for a number Of
years; and they are just now in the
midst of a sensation of the first mag
nitude in regard to the adoption OF

new series Of books. The state
superintendent of education, who is
member Of the state board which is
charged with the power and duty
of deciding what books shall be adopt
ed and used in the schools, seems
we'll night in open revolt against the
methods of the majority OF his col
leagues, and exposures and damaging
insinuations are coming thick and
fast.
The work Of the book trust, judg-
ing from the surface indications,
seems to be at the bottom of the
trouble; and the particular causes Of
complaint are the old ones that have
followed the operations Of the Ameri-
can Book Company everywhere that
it has gotten in its fine work; its
methods are the same in all places
and with all people-and the trail of
the serpent is over them ALL"
The points of complaint in South
Carolina are, that there have been
too sweeping and too sudden changes
of books, without notice that changes
were contemplated, without any ar
rangements being made for ex-
changes prices, that too large per
centage of the books were changed
at one time and that of the newly
adopted series were nearly all pub
lished by one concern-the trust.
1t is complained also that all of the
proceedings of the meeting of the
board at which these radical changes
were made were secret, even to the
ballot by which the measures were
carried, 1t being in that way impossi
BILE to ascertain which members voted
for the obnoxious features.
When without personal experience
it is the part of wisdom to study care
fully the experiences of others and to
endeavor to profit by the successes and
the mistakes Of those who have passed
along the same way before us.

FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1911.
Guantanamo VS..
Mainland Ports.

England has twice as large a navy
as we possess, and still supports but
half the number of yards" says Sec
rotary of the Navy Meyer in answer to
some of the questions as to why the
southern navy yards are to be aban-
doned. Without looking up the facts,
we accept the statement as being true
He also argues that the efficiency of
the department will be increased and
the cost of maintenance lowered. We
accept, for argument, this statement,
although we don't believe it true.
If only three navy yards were to be
maintained. the school boy would
readily see that one of the yards should
he placed on the Pacific coast, another
on the Atlantic coast and the third on
the gulf coast. But Secretary Meyer
wants more yards than three and says
nothing about having one on the gulf.
) When the Panama canal is finished,
Z especially if it is to be fortified, one of
the fleets will be in the gulf waters
nearly all of the time, and the work
naturally should come to some gulf
port. This much the small school boy
can reason out.
So it may be readily seen, taking
Mr.. Meyers statements as facts, that
the gulf should have a navy yard to
concentrate the work of the department
and to increase the efficiency Of it. but
Secretary Meyer, cunning as he thinks
himself. seems to have had more in his
mind that the efficiency and reduction
of the cost of his epartment-Guan-
tanamo, for instance
In all of his statements the secretary
has steered clear of the Guantanamo
yard, seemingly being afraid to come
(, out openly and declare it was his in
tention to abandon the southern main
land navy yards to build a mammoth
one on the island that the United
States does not even own.
Unofficial news has reached Pensa-
cola and other cities where the navy
yards are located that the yards are
going to be abandoned and the ma
chinery transported to Guantanamo.
The news comes from such a source
that it cannot be doubted
The Journal is one that believes in
every department of the government
being run on a business basis 1t be-
lleves that when it is possible the gov
eminent work should be distributed
where it will do the most people some
good, provided the work can be car
ried on successfully. 1t does not be-
lieve, however, in abandoning the three
southern navy yards to build one at the
Cuban port.
If the department officials find that
only one of the southern yards is
- needed and that it will increase the eff
ficiency of the departemnt to have only
one, then only one should be main
tanned. The yard located at the point
where the work could be carried on tC
tho best advantage is the one that
should be selected, but Secretary
Meyer has never offered any reason
why the southern mainland yards
should be abolished in order to build
one at Guantanamo.

MANCHESTER STRIKE is
FURTHER COMPLICATED
BY Associated Press.

Manchester Eng, July 6.-The situa-
ton growing from the strike of carriers
was further complicated today by the
enforced idleness Of thousands of cot
ton operatives. Many mills were I'M
able to obtain coal and other supplies
and have been compelled to shut down
Indefinitely.
Throngs of strikers and others out of
work were in the streets, the number
being added to by several hundred coal
miners who struck this morning in
sympathy with the carriers and the
lockers, who have not yet returned to
work
Some $50 troops and 300 London po-
lice arrived this morning. There was
an occasional recurring of stone throw
ing but the police, swinging their clubs,
quickly routed the nanifestants. The
strike leaders declare that roughs and
not the strikers are responsible for the
rioting that has taken place.

Home Society, Mr.. Flagg felt that if
the children were to be saved from
their evil surroundings and evil COM
paniOns, they must be cared for at
once, and the public is asked to send
in donations of cash to help pay for
the board and training of these chill
dren, who will in this way be saved
to lives Of usefulness to themselves,
to their homes and to the community,
who otherwise would soon have been
cared for in a criminal way.
These are just a few examples Of the
many cases handled during the past
month, and give some idea Of the
great help and usefulness that the
Childrens Home Society is to the
needy children of our state
Funds Badly Needed.
Mr.. Flagg is especially anxious that
the work of the society shall not be
hampered by lack of money to work
with during the summer months and
asks that the many friends of the So
ciety who are going away on their va
cations and pleasure trips, shall send
in their donations and contributions
before they leave the city. The little
homeless helpless children have no
vacations from their troubles, but can
be helped to homes Of comfort If the
friends Of the great work will send in
the money to aid them with. At least
fifteen hundred dollars must be Sc
cured for the summer work of the So
ciety.
The following friends of the society
have aided in many ways with do
nations other than cash during the
month just past: Maitland branch Of
the Needle Work Guild of America,
Fairfield Helping Band, Mrs. w. r. Sc
bring, Mrs. c. A. Stone, Mrs. G. NJ.

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a

to use it. 1t relieve the pain and
