HOLD SCHOOL
BOOK AWARD
COSTLY DEAL
Minority Members of Senate
Committee Say Contracts
Boost Expense.
TWO REPORTS ARE FILED

The people of Indiana received a
bad business deal which will cost
them a total of $65O,0O0 through the
letting of contracts for textbooks by
the State Board of Education, accord
ing to a minority report prepared for
submission by Senators Howard Cam
of Frankfort and William Arnold of
Salem, members of the State commit
tee on rights and privileges which
investigated the contract letting.
The majority report, which will be
signed by the other members, withholds
Judgment, but suggests that the Gov
ernor investigate the textbook law and
make recommendations at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Both reports will be submitted to the
Senate at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
They were to have been submitted this
morning, but it was found they would
conflict with other business.
ASKS CONTRACTS
ADVOCATED.
The minority report asks that the con-
tracts be abrogated, If possible, and that
new bids be asked for not later than
May IS. 1t declares that the evidence
shows that much lower prices can now
be had than those submitted Dec. 13,
when bids for the books were opened.
IL states that II contracts are let as late
as May 10, books may be obtained ID
time for the opening Of the school term.
The report suggests that If this is not
possible the contracts when they are
finally signed be made to provide that
prices shall be adjusted annually &C
cording TO decreases IN costs. 1t also
suggests that the State superintendent
OF public instruction investigate the text
book law and make recommendations TO
improvements at the next regular ses
sion.
The majority report follows:
"On Feb. 3, 1921, a resolution was In
troduced in this Senate by Senator Cam
which reads as follows:
Whereas. It is reliably reported that
by action of the State board Of education
In adopting new textbooks for use In the
elementary schools of the State the agge-
gate cost TO school patrons will exceed by
more than $4,000 the amount expended
for like books now in use under the ex-
listing contracts.
Therefore, BE 1t Resolved, That it
is the sense of the Senate that the action
Of the State board Of education In adopt
Ing text books at this time and during
the prevalence Of high prices was unwar-
rauted and unwise and the Senate hereby
expresses its disapprVval Of the action
Of the State board OF education.
BOARD HAD
AUTHORITY.
This resolution was referred to the
Committee on Rights snd Privileges. The
committee has had public hearings con-
Quoted private Investigations and has
been furnished with almost unlimited
figures and statistics on both sides of this
question. The facts disclosed are that
the board was warranted by law for all
Of its procedure and that 1t followed to a
large extent the precedent OF former

The residents said they were go

PH0 I OGRAPHY BY WIRE PROVEN
 SUCCESSFU u

The picture of an Indian chief is said to be the very first photograph successfully sent over a wire, by the Belin process, in America. On Sunday, Nov. 14, notable gathering of scien- tific men witnessed the accomplish ment of an achievement which marks new milestone in the history of elec- tric marvels. A microphone and an gether translated a photograph record into terms of light. The microphone carries the needle which passes over the graduated surface of the picture to be sent A tiny arc-lamp in a bulb is an important part of the mechan- ism It was made in England especial = ly for experimental purposes. The tiny arc is so intense that it gives l0O candle power at what is virtually a point Such a little lamp lasts only ten hours and costs S5.
 The photograph of the Indian chief was sent by wire from the office Of newspaper in St. Louis to the office oi d well known New York newspaper After the receipt of the picture, M Belin sent two photographs by wire to St. Louis. The tests were pro- nounced highly successful.
 Nikola Tesla, the popular inventor who was an interested witness of this memorable achievement, remarked: . will say that within year it will bt perfectly practicable to transmit pho tographs by wireless method and 1t 1s easily seen that results of greatest i'm portance will follow from the use o this method"
