School Head Finds Pupils Have
To Be Subjected to
Useless Expense.

The practice of experimenting
with school children in trying out
textbooks must come to an end in
the Washington schools. according
to a memorandum issued by SupeS-
intendent of School Frank w. Bal
lou yesterday.
Heretofore, IL is pointed out.
teachers have had their classes pur-
chase certain books and use them IN
the classroom before they are rec
commended for adoption in the cur
riculum. Under this system. IL II
declared. pupils have been put to
useless expense merely for the pur-
pose of trying out" a book.
Superintendent Ballou's statement
says in part: The plan OF putting a
book in classes on trial IL to be
discouraged. An Official should be
sure of the merits of a book before
he advocates its adoption n. .
Revised editions should be studied
before oeing recon-
mended. The expense to the pupil
in securing a revised edition Is as
great as II an entire change in text
books were made
Recommendations for changes in
the textbooks should be in the hands
of the chairman OF the committee
on textbooks before December 1.
