The committee reported that for
several years there had been re-
quests TO change the geometry text
books. The one now in use is con-
sidered to be too difficult, and con-
siderable unnecessary work is re-
quired by its use. Also the arithmetics

some protest to a change being
made, the reason given for the pro.

great deal for the students, and he
thought that the matter could be
handled very successfully The mat

board seemed about evenly divided
upon it. Several members thought
that the work required of whoever
had charge would be too much to
pay for the amount of money saved
