FREE TEXT BOOKS
FOR ALL SCHOOL

That is one of the Plans
Proposed by Code
Makers.

Free text books are proposed for
the state of West Virginia In the new
school code. features Of which were
discussed for the past few days by the

plans proposed is to abolish the state
text book commission and permit the
proposed state board OF education to
approve certain text books for the
free schools OF the state Each local
unit can then select what it desires
OF those particular text books and
bake their purchase by the boards for
the free use OF the pupils mandatory.

mont. Among the speakers were NJ
P. Shawkey, state superintendent,
Charleston; C. B. Taylor, Wheeling;

the new code and urged its passage.

tendent Of education Of the state Of
Maryland, Annapolis, delivered a very
able address In which he discussed
the merits OF. the Maryland school law
and what great improvements It
brought about in the rural sections In
L. J. Hanifan. secretary OF the code
commission, Charleston, spoke along
the financial lines OF the proposed
code. He approved Of the state allow
ing SIS per capita for each child In
school and the county IS also, with
the result that $40 per capital would
be raised before the district would be
asked to contribute It's share The
question OF larger revenues IN school
work were also touched upon by Mr..
Taylor. The unit of taxation was also
referred to by the speakers.
After last nights meeting the com
mission adjourned to meet at Park
ersburg during the last week OF No
vember close to Thanksgiving day, at
which time the final draft OF the code
| viii be drawn prior to submitting II
! to the State Senate and House OF Del
eRates for consideration
The purpose OF the meeting here
was to enlighten the people OF this
section Of the state with the merits OF
the code as well as its various provt'
sions and at the same time It was for
the purpose OF having the educational
people Of the community endorse its
passage.
