Mr.. Jones, I'VE can get it out of
the city on the afternoon and early

twenty four hours later than it
should be in reaching it's destina-

Several of the ad men pledged
themselves to see that hereafter the

Mr.. A. G. Sanders,
Hayti, Mo.
Dear Friend Guy:
I see that you have a propo-
sition being agitated that l think
is magnitied as to the results
supposed to be accomplished by
it's passage. 1 refer to the free
textbook proposition.
We have free textbooks in this
district and have had for mum.
ber of years, and frankly speak
ing, | cannot see that the pupils
do any better work than in
other schools with which I have
been connected.
This district votes 60 cents for
school purposes, while your dis
trictS pay about Sl.61. and the
taxes here are distributed among
the citizens propol tionately,
while in your district less than
one fourth Of the taxpayers pay,
at least, 90 per cent of the taxes.
This is a condition that should
be considered closely.
A good school does not depend
so much on the text books as it
does on good teachers.
Your school would be much
better in efficiency. health. etc,
if you put in a heating plant,
and | feel assured that all schools
that have adopted the free text
book system independently have
looked to heating and to sanitation
first.
Being interested in the affairs
of Hayti, and my friends, | eX-
press an opinion as experienced
by myself.
We are well and getting along
nicely.
With kind wishes to you and
family, | am,
Your friend,

Jefferson City, March z, 1914.
Dear Superintendent:
desire to call your attention
to the Free Textbook Law"
Any district (city or country
may vote on Free Textbooks at
the annual school meeting, If Is
days has been given.
do not wish to present a
treatise on Free Textbooks"
but 1 do wish to call your atten-
tion to the fact that all the argu-
ments for free public schools,
free schoolhouses, free desks,
free libraries and laboratories
are arguments for free text
books. Free textbooks are an
essential part of free public
school system. Several states
now have free books. No state
has evcrab bandoned freetextboobs
after once adopting the system.
ST. Louis, Mo. has supplied free
books to its public school pupils
for several years. Free books
have been highly satisfactory in
that city. Several large cities,
as Kansas City, Chillicothe, Cape
Girardeau, Jefferson City, etc,
adopted free text books last fall
under the Orr Law. All report
that the system is quite satisfact-
ory.
Free books also save much time
at the opening of school, since all
pupils are supplied with books
, the first day. When pupils must
supply their own books, the time
lost while waiting for the book is
enormous.
Several county superintendent
have called attention of their rur-
al school boards to this law. If
you have not done so, l advise
that you do so at once. In Wayne
county % rural schools have
adopted free books. So far as
reported to this office, free books
are very satisfactory in these
districts.
Monday, March 23rd, is the last
day for posting notices for the
annual school election.
Yours truly,
VIM. p. Evans.

Pursuant to a call issued by
the mayor, the citizens met

COMMITTEES to report the legal
powers of the city.
AS unfortunate a. it may seem.
and as much as we regret to state
the fact, we can see no way for
the city to put in a water system,
us our revenue is now about all
consumed by outstanding obi.
cations.
We have always thought it
best to deal honestly and fairly
with the people and tell the
truth.
The limit Of taxation is sc
cents on the $4,000. While it
req uires taxation on 5000, 100000
valuation to pay the city hall
bonded Indebtedness, our assess
ed valuation at present is barely
above this sum. 1t is plain
, therefore, that to bond our city
for a water system our assessed
valuation would have to be doubl
ed, which is impossible.
We need the water system, and
we hope the people now see the
great mistake in building a SlO,.
10000 city hall, and that on
ground the city did not own
The only means we can see is
for private capital to supply this
need, and then let the young mer
of the town organize a fire bri
