! Richmond, May Nay i2s!-The. State
board of education, through. its sub
committee appointed to consider the
prices of school text books, offered
,for adoption by Virginia is expected
to slit to the bottom the alleged dis
crepancies in prices as between this
and other states and will thoroughly
investigate reported pernicious ac-
tivity of certain teachers in the State
schools in their advocacy Of books
offered for adoption by particular
publishing houses. There are spe-
cial statutes covering each offense,
and developments of a rather sensa-
tional nature may follow the mvesti-
CATION.
The subcommittee, composed 'of
Governor Stuart, Attorney-Generai
Pollard and Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction Stearnes, will make
it's report to an adjourned meeting
of the entire board here May 28th.
The publishers have been asked to
submit bids for rental of the plates
from which the text books are
printed, it being claimed that by the
adoption of this method the State of
California gets its books at greatly
reduced prices but the publishers
agents can only confer with Super
intendent Stearnes.
Under the Virginia law, the pub
fishers selling books for use in the
State schools must enter into con-
tract and give bond that the retail
Iprices of the books will be as low as
in any other state. If it develops
that Virginia has been Disseminated
against, Attorney. General Pollard
will be called upon to proceed
against the publishers, all of whom
are under bond
A Virginia law also prescribes a
fine of not less than $40 and not over
$500 for any school teacher who
shall be convicted of having any pc
cuniary interest, acting as agent or
receiving promise of reward for in
fluence in recommending any book.
Removal, of course, is included un-
der the law
1t has been 1umored that several
teachers have been active in their
advocacy of certain books, and 1T is
up to the board of education to de-
eide whether they have violated the
law.

Richmond Va, May 23s--War ma,
noeuvres in the vicinity'of Washing
ton have not been declared off, uc-
cording to information obtained at the
Office of -Adjutant General Sale, and
they will probably be held some time
beween August and 20. This is the
present understanding, and it is be-
lieved that the program will be fol-
lows unless Mexican war situation
becomes more critical before that
time.
It is the plan Of General Sale to
send the entire force of Virginia
volunteers to the games if they are
he'd, and he believes that the expert
ence will be of inesti1nable value to
them. The force will include the new
companies recently formed, and the
signal corps which is regarded as one
Of the most valuable acquisitions Of
the volunteers in recent years.
The appropriation for the manoeu-
vres has been made by Congress ann
cannot be used for any other purpose,
so THAT it is believed that the war
department will make every effort
to hold them. Should the Virginia
troops be ordered to the games they
will be assigned to assist in the de-
tense of Washington. 1t is said that
the plans for the games have been
completed in every detail, and that
they are expected to bring out many
new ideas in military tactics for the
defense of the national capital.
