Miss Anna Arnold, County Supt.
of ChautauQua County, sent us this
week a copy of the new text in civil
government. Miss Arnold IS the au-
thor of the text book on civil govern
ment adopted by the Text Book Com
mission for the next five years. We
are glad this text book by Kansas
suthor was adopted by our state. We
now have two of our state text books
by Kansas authors-Kansas History
by Noble Prentis and Civics by Miss
Anna Arnold. Miss Arnold hopes
her book will give the pupils some
thing that will be useful to them,
that will form a link between the
school room and the outer world,
something that will interest and in
spire in them a desire to take hold
and help do things.
