SAYS FREE BOOKS
ARE UNNECESSARY
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT BUR.
CESS DOES NOT FAVOR CITY
BUYING TEXTS. -~

County Superintendent Elizabeth
Burgess. in an interview Monday
afternoon, expressed herself as not In
will come before the voters of this
city Monday, March 8.
Mrs. Burgess said that her strong
est objection to the plan was from the
sanitary standpoint. II cannot but
feel that the promiscuous distribution
of free text books would be much
more dangerous in the matter of the
spread of contagion than the present
plan of having each pupil own his own
books" said Mrs. Burgess. The
books will all be alike. and cannot be
identified except by number. Pupils
are sure to borrow from one another.
and it is impossible to absolutely con
fine any one book or set Of books 10
one. certain pupil. The plan is ex-
peCted by its promoters to eliminate
altogether the danger of cOntagiOn
among scholars. That seems to be
their strongest argument in its favor.
But the danger of conta-ion in the
use of school books cannot be nearly
so great as the danger in using books
ilOlI luS puuIlC iiIdiy,
are expected to make free use of that
institution
Mrs. Burgess also seemed dubious
as to the economic value Of the plan.
There is no doubt in my mind. she
continued, but that the large major
ity of parents will provide books for
their children. even under the new
plan. and that will only mean double
expense. The children are entitled to
provide their own hooks if they care
to- and since most Of them take pride
in. owning their hooks. the parents
will buy them" 49,.
Mrs. Burgess said that the system
of checking the public hooks would
mean a tremendous increase in the
work of the teat hers, and that the
teachers in Des Moines. where the
plan is now in use. are greatly incon-
venienced by the additional duties re-
garding the care of the books.
. There has BEEN no call for the
adoDtion Of this Ian in Ottumwa.
said Mrs. Burgess. THE law re-
quires that all children between GER
tain ages shall attend school and the
board will furnish books for those who
cannot buy them: and l. cannot see
how free text books could increase the
as it is claimed it will do.
The promoters say that since the law
requires the pupils to attend schools,
it is only right that it should provide
for their supply Of books, just as it
provides for buildings and teachers.
to that line Of logic, it
would be Just as reasonable to expect
the law to provide for dinners and
street car fares and shoes, all of
which are factors in an education

Every one knows that France has saved her southwest department from the curse Of drifting sands by planting pine trees. and that Germany has tanned some Of the poorest soil in Europe to human service b. the same methods.
