books.

In the next school election, tbo
electors of Woodruff County viii
vote on the question of CONT,
Uniformity of Textbooks A.
the present time, we have ~
system in the selection of tovt
books to be used by our children
Teachers generally use the onos
they find have been used in tho
past, regardless of the kind or
suitability, simple because thew
do not want the parents put to
furthur expense of buying new
books. School children profit as
little by studying out-of-date
books as the farmer by using out.
of-date farm implements. With
improved machinery or methods
we progress faster and make
more money, at the same time
we secure enjoyment from our
work; the school child, with i'm.
proved books based on up-to-date
methods, learns easier and faster
and brings greater joy to his pa.
rents. All the children of our
County should use the same
books; we should have uniform.
ty of textbooks.
By adopting uniformity Of text.
books, we save money. Book
companies will sell us books at a
cheaper rate in order to secure
contracts to supply the entire
County. Further, when our
children move from one school to
another in the County, they will
not be compelled to buy new books
thereby saving money. One of
the greatest considerations is that
our textbooks will be selected by
the best educators of the County.
County Uniformity will give a
degree of system to education in
the County, and will result in
greater educational efficiency.
The business man, whether he
be farmer, merchant, lawyer,
teacher, preacher. doctor or fol-
low some other occupation, who
uses the most out-of-date tools
or methods, is the one who makes
the least progress and produces
the minimum of results. Let's
work for a uniform system OF
textbooks for Woodruff County.

her interests command. The news

too long or Belgium will be consider
ed as a good prize.

have been inspired from official
sources
