committees report in favor of the
Johnson offer, giving as his reason
that he bad not finally made up, his
mind as to the. merits OF their ar!th-
metics.
For these reasons | felt that my
own judgment was well confirmed by
almost n unanimous opinion of all
who had compared the competing
books I felt therefore. that no con-
sidcration should offset what / con-
slider the manifest interests of the
schools of Virginia.
Finally, taking books individual
~. / consider that the arithmet'c s
were superior in physical manufac-
ture, in content and in method. The
counts. 4pon which this superiority
is most noticeable were:
J. Excellence in general method.
2 Attra ctiveness and thoroughncss
in presentation.
g. Practical and useful material
used, especially from industrial and
country life.
Interest and variety Of reviews
;. Teachableness and adaptability
to schools of different types The
subject matter is SO arranged and
presented that even in the hands Of
an unframed teacher, the child should
be a BILE to learn
G. A good working manual furnish
ed free to teachers. explaining the
method Of presentation and directing
the teachers work.
The Fifth Reader selected is, in my
opinion, markedly superior in every
respect of physical manufact ure.
literary content and educational
methods. The most outstanding
points Of superiority are here listed
J. Superior literary quality Of ma
terial included,
. Excellent grading in language
and thought content.
3. Adaptability to grade for which
It is intended by the peculiar interest
Of the selections TO the pupils,
T. Superior teacha bleness resulting
from aids and methods in presenta
ton, as for example, the questions
and notes at the end of each selec-
ton.
E. Advantages of teachers manual
available without cost
s A greater amount Of reading ma
terial. reducing the actual cost BY
pages to the pupils.
There was finally no great division
upon the goard in regard TO the Sill
periority of the spoilers and Virginia
history adopted ] consider, however,
that the spoilers were cheaper in cost.
NV reasons further for preferring the
spaller and virginia history texts are
+ essentially expressed in the general
statement above given.

some difference of opinion among us
as to the period of time to be allowed

The johnson Proposition.
We now come to the statement con-
corning the so-called johnson propb-
sition. In April, 1914, after the first
bids had been received from the pub
fishers. the board unanimously pass
ed a resolution stating that the prices
were too high and calling for new
bids The undersigned were appoint
ed a committee to secure a reduction
in prices, and after many months OF
effort succeeded in getting only one
publisher to make any substantial re-
duction in price, to wit, the 4. r.
johnson Publishing Company Nlr'
ginia concern which had heretofore
accomplished much in bringing down
the prices of books throughout the
South and had greatly encouraged
Virginia and Southern authorship.
This company at the time furnished
about e. per cent Gin value) OF all the
books used in the public schools OF
Virginia and they offered an average
reduction Of 10 per cent upon the
books furnished by them, and 10 per
cent exchange pIICe Colu4t'oiSN
the adoption OF their arNhlnetlcs anu
fifth reader. Concerning the accept,
auce of this offer, there developed
between the majority and the minor
ity a sharp difference of opinion,
which resulted in a prolonged contest.
Had the view of the undersigned
prevailed, a large saving would nave
been effected without III our opihioh'
lowering the standard OF teHt-poohs'
While II Is true that the HhdJoii'y ~
sisted that the BOOKS favored oE 'i'o
