FREE TEXT BOOKS IN SCHOOLS.

The statement by the Council Committee on
Ordinance Charter and Reform that the dispari-
" In the number of school children in the high
err and lower grades OF the city schools is largely
due to their inability to purchase books presents
a serious question justfying the recommendation
that the city come TO a basis of free text books
for its educational institutions.
In the lower grades in the schools there are
1912; in the higher only 400 children.
No matter what the reason. such condition
is deplorable IT free text books can materially
tend ia carrest IT, the annual cost of $4,000
would be the wisest sort of investment.
Within the limits of reason. every city owes
it's children the advantages OF the higher ele-
mentarv education. Primary schooling is, in its
very nature. merely the groundwork for the
more practical instruction that is given in the
higher grades nj In the high schools. In these
departments children are given practical equip
ment for usefulness in the community, an
equipment for which any primary instruction rs
the barest preliminary.
The suggestion that any considerable number
of Richmond children OF school age are denied

has to oier by reason OF their inability to buy
