ABOUT TEXT o

ENERAL discussion OF text books is now going
NJ on In Charleston where the state board. q
education is in session.. The public will be inter-
ested tntthe attitude OF the board regarding the I'M
PRODUCTION OF new text books. s&
II has been stated that there Is much dissatis-
faction with readers and language books that are
now in use in many Of the public schools and that
new text books dealing with these studies arc being
considered. While West Virginia wishes only the
best for her public school pupils. yet Il Is doubtful
IL the expense Involved In introducing new text
books at the present time Will be Justified.
There Is need right now for rigid economy ID. all
state departments, and Il is5to be deyoltly hoped
that the state board will recommend no change. IN
text books that Is not absolutely necessary. The
present cost OF. text books Ii almost prohibitive. II
the education OF the children were not at stake the
public would not pay the prices demanded by the
publishing houses for text books. 1t Is hardly
short of highway robbery. Tie people are paying
now; either through taxation ior in cash straight
from their pockets an enormous sum for tho
school books required; and the state board should
consider long before adding to this expense, at
least until the present business and Industrial de-
preston is over. 's fN
Since the state board of education In adopting
a text book commits itself for six years to the use
Of that book, 1t might be we'll for tho board to defer
a decision upon readers and language books for a
years period. II the books used now are not salts
factory, they must eventually be replaced, but, with
general conditions as they are 1t does seem that
action should be postponed. until. next.year and re-
lieve the people from immediate additional burden.
Many changes have been introduced in the past
that have been Disappointing In. results, and many
text books have been discarded for others whose.
advantages over the discarded ones failed to mate
rialtze..
The state board can understand and appreciate
what the. public situation is and can DO relied upon
to act in sympathy with public stress at this time.
