The state board of education, sit
Ting as a textbook commission has
completed the adoption of textbooks
for use in the public schools so far

cerned.

the next week or so, when the course
of study based on the adoptions will
be outlined. Successful publishing
houses are required under the law
to have their contract with the state
signed and completed within thirty
days from the date of adoption of

ison can be made between the new
adoption and the old adoption. In

the only one that received official
recognition.

change more than go percent of the
books now in use in the schools, UNI
