TEACHERS ENDORSE
TEXT BOOK ADOPTION;
SCHOOL HEAD SPEAKS

Routine men are caught in the trap
of their own habits" was the gist Of
THE Trap" the subject chosen by DR.;
William Lowe Bryan, president Of In
diana university, for his address be-
fore the joint session of the Wayne
County Teachers association and the
Richmond City Teachers institute at
the high school Saturday morning.
Whoever learns to earn living by
the simple routines of job is in dan
ger of losing his living when these
routines are no longer used, "Nhe said.
In illustrating the worth of education.
DR.. Bryan pointed out that IAN ex-
pert workman with high wages be-
comes an unskilled workman with low
wages when the machines and pro-
cesses which he knew are thrown out.
Applies To Professions.
THE same thing holds true in the
professions. The doctor who learns
only the remedies of his time without
mastering the underlying sciences
finds his remedies and himself out OF
date. So with the lawyer, the en-
gineer.
Each and all of these routine men
is caught in the trap of his own hab-
its"
The chief way of escape Dr. Bryan
declared is by deeper mastery OF
ones job in school and after school.
The man who goes to the bottom of
worth while job escapes ''the trap"
Society as whole escapes the
traps of routine by science, by crea-
tive art, and by the intuitions of poet
and prophet"
Praises Mark Twain.
Ey1- Ii 80 ~ Dr.
announced the subject, Mark Twain"
whom, the speaker termed "one of the
greatest humorists of all time" was
the keynote of this talk.
Mark Twain was not simply
great fun maker" DR.. Bryan stated
He saw profoundly the sins and mis-
cries of mankind and attacked them
with laughter" He characterized
Twain as a man who was in one
mood great pessimist," in another
mood, food of lovely spirit" His pes
simism, the speaker said, grew out
of his tenderness and his hatred of
cruelty"
Officers for 1s21-1922 were elected
by the Wayne County Teachers asso-
citation as follows in the afternoon ses-
sion: President, Frank O.. MetZger;
first vice president, Anna Kinker; sec
ond vice president, Frank Corey; sec
! rotary, Isabel kinzle, and treasurer,
Charles o. Williams, who succeeds
himself.
The following resolutions were unan-
| imously passed by the assembly,:
! I'VE. the members of the Wayne
County Teachers association as
! sembled in our annual meeting, wish
to express our sincere and hearty ap-
probation of the talks delivered by
DR.. William Lowe Bryan at this meet
! ing.
| I'VE wish to go on record as opposl
! ed to any effort to alter or repeal the
present primary election law.
Furthermore, We wish to express
our confidence in the state board OF
education and commend the good judg-
ment exercised by them in the recent
| adoption of text books for our schools,
we favor a compulsory statewide
pension law on sound actuarial basis
and urge legislation to that effect dur

c. o. Williams, member of the state
board of education, completed the re-
port today which he will present to
the committee of the general assem-
bly,, which is investigating the letting
of contracts for school books by the
state board recently.
The report which he will make
follows:
Because of the difficulty encounter
ed In obtaining text books, the board
of education at it's last adoption more
than a year and half ago passed a
resolution that in any year In which
books were to be adopted. that the
adoption should take place The first
Tuesday after the first Monday in Jan
uary of that year. In keeping with
this the board advertised for bids as
required by law in December, 1920, fol
the purpose of awarding contracts
January 4, 1921. Bids were received
for furnishing spoilers, physiology
United States history, geography, do
nestle science and industrial arts
texts for the next five years.
''At the December meeting the board
postponed the adoption until Feb. /
1921, for the purpose of giving the gen
eral assembly an opportunity to pre-
sent any legislation affecting school,
book adoptions they desired. No in
terest was taken in plans effectins
adoption.
Recites Opinion.
"On Feb. l, the board having beer
served with a written notice a weel
previous to meet and TO adopt tex
books met for that purpose. Super
intendent L. N. Hines then announced
to the board that he had consulted the
attorney general about the adoption
and-gave the following opinions:
"(a) The present holders of con
tracts could not continue to hold con
tracts. The contracts were for five
year period and now expired
"(b) The legislature had no powe
to extend the contracts
"(c) The board has no option; i
shall adopt books
MIR. Hines stated that books would
have to be adopted soon, so as to hav,
them ready for next school year, bu
thought it might be delayed one
month. He recommended that tn,
board reject all bids and readoption
and award contracts March l.
'The proposal to delay only on,
month did not appeal to the member
as of much value as to prices. Sew
eral members opposed his suggestion
On roll call two members supported
Mr. Hines, ten opposed his months
delay.
New Books Needed.
This should be borne in mind-w,
had no contracts. We were over on
hundred thousand books short las
year. All of the old books were offer
ed for readoption, but at an increase,
price over the price five years ago
