The State Board of Education, act
Ing as the State School Book Com
mission, has set up a situation with
respect to textbooks hereafter to be
used in the public schools that likely
will bring it into sharp conflict with
the Legislature, and doubtless has
precipitated the liveliest kind of a
row in Georgia.
When the Commission met in the
Capitol Thursday. it took up the mat
ter of school books for the next five
years. The present State contract
expires on January l. 1914, and,
under the law, the Commission has
the right either to. renew it in whole
or in part. OF to make a new contract
for an additional period of five years,
which contract, nevertheless, must
be subject to cancellation upon
twelve months notice by the State.
In ordinary circumstances, there
would be no difficulty about this, but
the Legislature at its summer ses-
sion this year passed a resolution
providing for an investigating COM
mission, to look extensively into the
entire school book situation in Geor-
gia, and to report back, with recon-
mendations as to the future, to the
next session.
The authority of this Legislative
commission rs wide-even going so
far as to consider the matter of the
States publication of it's own text
books.
The Legislative Commission may
recommend a continuation of the
present contract, in whole or in part,
or il may recommend an entire
change of books, or it may recon-
mend that the State proceed to the
publication of it's own books.
Might Change Textbooks.
The Board of Education, however,
over the Governors protest, has
elected to proceed Immediately to the
consideration of q new five years
contract. This, while subject to can
CrIlation upon twelve months notice,
III might involve an immediate
range of textbooks, to be followed
within a year by another change,
l Don motion of the Legislature.
If matters should take that direc-
I )n it might mean setting aside the
J -esent books, adopting for a year or
- another line, and then setting that
a ide eventually for still another line.
Moreover, there are members of the
! legislature who already are charging
that the Legislature has been slapped
in the face" by the State board, be-
cause of that which appears to them
to he an effort to forestall the Legis
lttHre in adjusting the schoolbook
situation. and to make its proposed
investigation of the book situation
ridiculous and of no effect
In The meantime the Legislature In
vestigating Committee meets for or
ganization purposes IN the Capitol
to-day. .-...-..-..
There are signs that a spirit of re-
sentiment already is more or less ram
pant within that body, and some ex-
ceedingly lively proceedings are an
ticipated.

One Chicago authority sets the an
nual cost at $40 per child and asserts
that he finds that the increase has
been 40 per cent in the last year. The
Chicago Nursery and Half Orphan

1860. Its record show that from 1874
to 1888 the annual cost OF rearing
a child in the institution was $70.sS.
From 1884 to 1893 the cost had grown
to $3.50. From 1894 to 1903 the

The last narrow gauge railroad in
soon as the Gainesville and Midland
can be converted into. a standard
gauge. those old-time narrow gauges,
once 30 familiar throughout the State,
will be known no more therein.
The Georgia Railroad Commission
to-day authorized the abolition of
this one remaining little fellow, and
It will be converted Immediately into
a broad gauge.
When railroad building was more
or less in it's infancy in Georgia,
and when capital was not so readily
available for work of that kind in
the State. the construction of narrow
gauge railroads became almost fad.
They cost a good deal less to con-
struct than the broad gauges, and
their equipment and operation was
much more economical. They did not
make much speed. to be sure-but
none OF the earlier roads did that,
and so they suffered little in COM
parison.
In the long run, however, standard
gauge roads have proven to be more
volusble investments. and long ago
the construction of the narrow gauges
stopped.
The Gainesville and Midland, ten
miles long. is the last OF the small
fry railways In Georgia, and it will
not be here much longer.

PLAYERS FRATERNITY PROTESTS
AGAINST REDUCED SALARIES

New York, May 15.-David L Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players fra
ternity. has addressed a letter to the
national commission at Cincinnati, re-
Questing il to abolish the practice OF
transferring players from one club to
another at reductions in salaries. Many
such transfers. Mr.. FultZ stated. are
made now. from the contracts calling
for larger salary than the player re-
received upon being transferred to the
second club
The Baseball Players fraternity re-
quests that the national commission
take such action as shall be necessary
to assure TO the player his salary set
forth in the original contract or his IN
conditional release" says the letter
You VIII appreciate the fact that If A
contract Is to have any force, II must
be binding on both parties and also
thar the present form Of contract pre-
scribed by YOU calls for a stated salary
or the players unconditional release.
1t is therefore difficult to see why the
player is compelled to go to a team
which arbitrarily cuts his salary in a b.
sOlute disregard OF the contract signed
by him.
1T is needless to call your attention
to the fact that this practice has
caused much dissa tisfactiOn among the
players and that many of them have
quit the game on its account"
