the Education Board
FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS

Some Radical Changes Made from
the List of Publications Now Used
by the Children in Five Thousand
South Carolina Public Schools, as
Will Be Seen.
The verdict in the adoption Of the
school books of the State was rem
dered at Columbia Thursday evening,
There was a radical change in the
list. Superintendent Swearingen pro-
tested against what he terms too
sweeping and unnecessary changes,
but he was in a minority. The books
adopted are these used in five thous-
and free schools in the State, but
do not necessarily apply to the grad
ed school districts that have their
own adoptions.
For the past five years the State
depository, R L. Bryaa Company,
managers, handled s503,243 worth
Of school books on the list in use
during the FIVE year. The present
list will result in many sales.
Thursday afternoon Superlnten>
dent Swearingen had the verdict read
to the assembled agents Of the pub
fishers. The contracts as awarded
and as read follows:
