Therefore the grading, screening and

Text Book Problem


From now until June 3, 1917, about
one thousand people in South Dakota
will be studying text books, listening
to agents, good bad and indifferent
debating with themselves and their
colleagues as to text book merit. try-
ing to seek the bestSway out Of i trv-s
ing incident, and altogether having i
very interesting time.
South Dakota is the only state thai
can boast of having a simply mon-
strous adoption law. The legislature
refused to change it and SO the old
condition prevails.
Text book contracts expire IN June.
and must be renewed. For twenty
years it has been the policy of some
book companies to induce some mem
her on each county board to urge the
passing of a resolution by the board
t othe effect that the old list Of books
should be adopted without change. 1t
is strange that a man SO ignorant OF
text book merit can be found who
would want thus to project his ignor-
ance into the faces of all who think at
all, and still this nan has been found.
He pleads earnestly for economy: to-
him a book is a book, whether it was
copyrighted in 1917 or 1898. A still
stranger thing is that SO many boards
of education will pass this ignoramus'
motion and thus fasten upon the
schools of the county a series of books
MALT of which are frequently out of
date, lily suited to school needs and
frequently actually teaching untruths.
1t is to be hoped that any attempt
in any county to railroad through a
program of this kind without giving
any attention to the merits of the.
books submitted for inspection will
promptly meet the rebuke it deserves.
Economy which compels pupils and
teachers to use text books old and
antequated or unfit from any point
of view is not economy; it is blank
hypocrisy on the part of the adopting
board; it is more; it is a fine evidence
of either graft or inexcusable ignnr-
ance.
A motion before a board of educa-
ftion to readopt the old series without
examination of the new texts submit
ted is the best evidence that the per-
son making the motion is either unfit
to serve because of his ignorance or
is under the baneful influence of some
agent. Such action 0 strongly
Of a cash consideration.
To determine the relative. meritssof
text books demands the closest study
Of hours by persons who know how to
determine these merits.
The position of these board mem
bers is far from enviable but since
they are members, the public expects
an honest job, the best they can rem
der after devoted study Of the sit

MIR. BARROWS FIGURES
IN A NARROW ESCAPE

Nat. ii. Burrows, agent of the Wyan-
dotte worsted mill, and his driver had
very narrow escape from being hit by
the morning train out of this city on
Tuesday. Mr.. Barrows was on his way
to the mill when Train No. GA, better
known as the 8 o'clock, came down the
grade. In order to reach the mill Mr..
Barrows crosses the tracks at Temple
street. Patrolman Frost had just rung
in his box at the corner near the cross
ing when he glanced up the track and
saw the train coming down the grade at
a rapid pace. He also saw the team
about to drive on the track and shouted
to them to stop, at the same time rush
ing for the horses head The driver
heard the officer shout and without wait
ing to see the reason quickly pulled up
the team Just as the train rushed by. 1t
was not until then that either he or Mr..
, Barrows had seen the train. According to
the officer and Mr.. Barrows, the nagnan
who is supposed to be on duty at the
crossing was out behind the switch house
shoveling snow and the train was coming
down the grade without ringing the bell
When 1t was all over everyone realized
| that 1t was a very narrow escape from

tered where it was almost impossible for
horses to get through. On Main street
and many of the other streets where the
electrics run it was necessary to haul off
a large amount Of snow and all the crews
available were busy all day, and will be
for two or three days before the work
can be completed. The electric car off,
Gals and those of the Maine Central Rail-
road also had their work cut out for
them, and as large crews as possible
were employed all day disposing of the
surplus snow. The trains on the Maine
Central got back to regular schedule
time, although it was necessary to use
freight engines on some Of the heaviest
trains. The Waterville & Oakland Elec-
trio Road overcame its troubles and ran
all day on schedule time. The Augusta
road was able to get a car through early
in the day and maintained its schedule
for the remainder Of the day. The storm
was one Of the most costly for the city
that has been experienced for long tins.
The snow also made great deal of work
for private individuals and people were
everywhere about the city clearing snow
from roofs and walks. 1t will be remem-
bered as one Of the worst storms Of the

people think. government institution.
1t is private company, and reaps a
good profit by acting as the nations
banker.
The remuneration paid to the Bank
of England for the management of the
national debt was fixed in 1906 as a.
yearly sum at the rate Of 325 pounds
per million pounds of such debt up to
five hundred million, and 100 pounds
per million pounds above this amount.
On this basis assuming total war debt
Of $500, 100000 the banks remuneration
will reach about 250,000 pounds annual
ly from this source alone, in addition to
the $4,000 pounds in respect to the old
national debt, which, at the beginning
OF the war, was about $50 million
pounds.
