The Textbook Business

Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail con-
corning the total number of textbooks sold
in the United States each year and the an
nual profits resulting from such sales Con-
hdentia1 data obtained by the United States
Bureau of Education from forty-three text
book publishers in the United States show
that their aggregate total sales of textbooks
for use in public and private schools in 1913
amounted to sly ,274,O3O. The aggregate
for public schools, elementary and high,
amounted to $14,261 ,768.
The total enrolment in public elementary
and high schools for the year was approx
mate1y 18,6OoO4O. Excluding the e1e-
1nentary school enrolment of California,
since California prints its own elementary
books, the number becomes 18,213,786. For
each child enrolled in the public schools in
the United States therefore, the total annual
sale of textbooks is 1873 cents. The total
expenditure per child for all school purposes
is approximately 1881 The cost of text
books is thus approximately per cent of

have a demonstration come to this

vegetables and fruits.
eve are beginning to learn that there is
more bacteriology in farming than in medi-
cine, more chemistry than in pharmacy,
more botany than any school now gives, and
more manual training than is taught outside
the technical schools. And all these things
woven into the web of rural life Let us
keep this idea uppermost in our minds, and
cultivate not only the plants but the children,
in it, to be sure, but in the main it is edu-
cational agriculture.
Doctor C1axton, of the Bureau of Educa-
ton at Washington, has estimated that the
labor of the children of the schools of this
country, which could be directed to the
cultivation of school gardens, back yards
and vacant lots might add two million dol
lars to the Nations wealth annually"

the total cost of

The cost per child
on the school popu-

years of age) is 500

These figures in
dictate that there is
little ground for the

of the public school

cost for textbooks is

cleanup IDEA WORK
ing the farms.
Mrs. H. B. Musser
of Parsons, who leading spirit in the
movement, discusses club work in rural dis
tricts in the following manner:
Farms, well as city property, should
be neat, well kept and inviting in appear
ance, we women believe. To that end the
Country Women's Clubs in this county
have been working together for the lnstruc-
ton of farm children along lines to interest
them in the appearance of their home places,
and to content themselves in rural life
The farm should be more than piece
of land under cultivation, a barn with
Uttered yard, and Outlines unsanitary con-
ditions around the house. These club
women have been preaching to the children
that the farms should be beautiful and well
kept. The women of five clubs have united
to make Labette county farms good look
ing, as well as productive. First, the moth
ers met and discussed farm Identification,
and through the mothers the children have
been reached. Children whose mothers were
not interested have been reached through
the rural schools.
Farm women do not dislike farm life,
although they may sometimes grow weary
of conditions that can be so easily improved.
They want better facilities for work and
more advantages for themselves and their
children in the way of amusements, social
and cultural life. We need development of
our rural life, school-houses built modern
plans for centers of community life, teachers
capable and willing to lead in neighborhood
activities We need equal pay for equal
service, and good roads to bring about CO.
operation between city and country. We
need help to develop saner pleasures, higher
ideals and aspirations.
cit is in these directions that club life and
social center movements are of such valuable
assistance in frightening the life of the
farmer and his family by furnishing oppor-
tunities for neighborhood intercourse, friend
ly discussion, literary study and
ments What the rural woman really needs
is something to take her out of the home
enough to show her that she is vitality inter
ested in civics and economics.
''The social center established at church
school-house is of the best means of
giving rural women chance to show their
children that country life is SO intensely in
teresting and important that no one need
leave it to find larger sphere.
''The Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, through own State Agricultural
College, is carrying farm extension
course with the object in view of keeping
our boys and girls on the farm by organizing
different clubs for extension work, such
boys corn clubs, and girls cooking and
canning clubs. Labette county has just
ganized a large canning club and will

more large number of men, but when
a woman makes up her mind to have
thing, the men might as well stay out alto
gether, the in the road building
contest. Contrary to what one might ex-
pect, Miss Haymore does not teach in big
consolidated district but in little one-room
school house set down in a tangled mass of
Stephens county forest, and in communi-
ty where civic work has ever before been
done by either teacher children. How
ever, when the commissioners made the
nouncement that first prize of $50 would
go to the school that constructed the best
mile of road, Miss Haymore modified her
pupils and started out to conquer the I'M
conquerable. For any one who knows any
thing about grubbing out stunps and Dig
cling up post oak runners, and pulling up
underbrush will realize that the job under
taken by this little teacher and her children
not easy one. Miss Haymore pos
sesSed the determination which so many of
country school teachers boast and
superintended the Improvement of every
inch of that mile. Now that is the best
road anywhere in Stephens county and per-
haps nearly perfect any in the state
And it represents the boundless pluck and
the hard work of an unobtrusive, little
woman who this time has beaten at
their own game.

ROOSEVELT ONCE
DISOBEYED PLATT
Tells on Last Day as Witness of
Refusing to Follow Senator's
Direction"

Syracuse, y. Y, April % Theodore
Roosevelt started out in his testimony
this morning with the declaration that
when he was President he had refused
TO reappoint Collector Bidwell Of the
Port of New York at the direction" Of
Senator Plat. The examination was
started by Mr. Bowers, the ColonePs
counsel
o. DO you remember a letter con-
corning Mr.. Bdwell and Mr. Stranahan
An November, 1901, when was
President
Own you please tell the jury
about that incident? A Mr.. Bidwell
had been Collector Of the Port Of New
York. Senator Platt directed me 10
reappoint him. After investigation
became convinced that there ought "a
be a change, and appointed State Sen
ator Siranahan, instead of Mr.. Bid
well.
Q.-There had been some correspond
ence concerning your asking Mr.. Plat
and Mr. Low to meet at dinner You
may tell about il. A. In the fall OF
1901. after ! became President, Seth
Low, who was known as an Independent
Republican, was nominated on Fusion
ticket, Independent Democrats, hide
pendents and Republicans. and elect
ed. was anxious that he should be
in touch with the organization on pre-
cisely the terms that | was; that he
should consult with Mr. Platt freely
so that the organization, which had
contributed n very handsome percen-
age of the total votes and elected Mr..
Low, should not feel it was neglected

letter they said had been received by
Mr.. Duell from Mr.. Whitman, theh
District Attorney, on February ~, IVA.
Colonel Roosevelt declared he mad re-
lied on the statements il contained IN
formulating the article for which he Is
now being sued by William Barnes.
Justice Andrews would not permit all
OF this letter to be read in evidence,
and counsel for the defence refused
TO make il public, but from other
sources the full text of the Whitman
Duell letter was obtained. 1t is dated
in the New York District Attorney
office, February 10, 1914, marked "con-
fdential." and addressed to "My Dear
Mr. Duell." In it Mr.. Whitman wrote:
an line with our last talk, | agree
with YOU that the time is ripe for an
alliance of the Progressive Republicans
and members of the national Progress
sive party, as we'll as of all good citi-
Zens sharing their opinions. to rid the
state of the kind of party control
which, in my opinion, is mainly respon-
sible for the corrupt conditions which
have been clearly shown in the va
rious examinations and Investigations
which have been had during the last
year. The conditions are not localized
and the men and the policies respon-
sible for them not confined TO any one
party.

so conducted that we can elect TO i'm

regulations guarantee that the great
departments of this state will be taken

fairs, | myself had never realized, I'M
til brought into close contact with them

state officers of whom the public hears

81 believe that the election of a com
petent and honest State Engineer is
almost as important to the people of
this state as is the election of a fit
Governor.
There are vast powers exercised by
the State Superintendent of Public
Works, by the Controller, by the Com
missioner of Highways, by the At;or-
ney General, by the Secretary of State
and even by the Lieutenant Governor

Mr.. Bowers produced a letter from
Charles s. Whitman, dated February
10. 1914, to Charles II. Duell, jr., and
Colonel Roosevelt said il was handed
to him by Mr.. Duell in May. 1914.
Mr.. Barnes's counsel objected 10 ad-
hitting this letter Justice Andrews
read it and ruled that a part of it
might be received if Colonel Roose-
welt relied on the letter and believed
what Mr.. Whitman wrote. The wit
ness said he did so believe, and the
following part Of the Whitman letter
was read:
"ln line with our last talk, I agree
with you that the time is ripe for an
alliance of the Progressive Republi-
cans and members of the National Pro-
gressive party, as well as of all good
citizens sharing their opinions, to rid
the state of the kind of party control
which is mainly responsible for cor
rupt conditions which have been clear
ly shown in the various examinations
and Investigations which have been
had during the past year. These con-
dltions are not localized and the men
and the policies responsible for them
not confined to any one party"
Q.-NOu understood the gentlemen
who signed that letter was then the
District Attorney of the County of
New York? Ale was.
Q. You understood that that letter
referred to the plaintiff in this case ?
Al did.
/ Q. You understood that the various
examinations and Investigations re-
ferred to in that letter as having been
made during the last year were ex-
amnations that had been made by
Mr.. Whitman?

fact they were not Investigations by
Mr.. Whitman. but by others.
Believed Humans Statement.
Mr.. Bowers showed Colonel Roose-
welt a newspaper of July p contain
ing the announcement of Harvey d.
linmsn that he would be a candidate
for the nomination of Governor.
O. Now. as 10 the article headed.

you believe the statement that was
there published? Al did.
Q.-And did you rely upon il in
making the statement in suit? Al
did.
A, this point the defence surrendered
the witness TO Mr.. Barnum for recross-
examination.
"a. Mr. Roosevelt, in your letter of
January !, 1899, you wrote Senator
Platt raising the question whether or
not the appointment of Mr.. Hill was
constitutional, and you said you would
like 10 see him and consult with him
about the matter. This was a question
OF law, was II not-a question of con-
stitutionality Al understand so.

action on the part of the Legislature.
