COLQUITT FOR LINCOLN
IN TEXAS SCHOOL BOOKS

AUSTIN, TEX. Special Governor
20. r. Colquitt Monday, in a speech
before the State Textbook Board, said
that before he would permit the with
Idrawal of Abraham Lincoln's picture
from the State school history about
to be adopted he WOULD resign the
governorship.
great controversy has arisen over
the selection of a history for Texas
schools. One of the histories under
consideration was disapproved by the
Confederate veterans. who said 1t re-
Elected on the South. Two Of the
members of the board declared the
picture of Lincoln should be omitted,
This brought forth Governor Colquitt's
emphatic comment.
The Governor has declared that he
wants a history that gives the facts
whether they favored North or South
and that only the truth counted. He
says his father was a Confederate
soldier, but that would not influence
him to desire one side favored more
than the other.
