2. THE TEXT BOOK LAW.

The new textbook law, passed by
the last General Assembly, provides,
inst, Ton the making of new con-
tracts by the State Board of Edu-
cation with the publishers, and, sec
ond, for better methods of distribu-
ton Of textbooks. Under this law
the State Board, Of which the State
superintendent is chairman, has
made new contracts with the publish
crs. The patrons will probably be
surprised when the children 20 to
buy new books to find that the price
of most books has been considerably
increased over the price under. the
old contract. This increase is about
90 per cent. That is, book which
last year cost dollar. may cost
dollar and sixty cents this year.
There may be those who are inclin-
ed to criticise the State Board for
allowing this advance. No one, how
ever, who knows the facts can be
fair-minded and make such criti,
ism, and it is for the information of
the people that l am endeavoring to
set forth the facts. Briefly, the facts
are these: When the War came up-
on US the publishers were furnishing
us our school books under n five
year contract with the State of Vir-
ginia. The State Board when that
contract was made very wisely Sc
cured an option for threc-year re-
newal of this contract The War
came on, prices scared, the five-year
contract expired. This was 1918. The
State Board, under the wise leader
ship OF tho State Superintendent, Mr.,
Hart, promptly renewed the con-
tract under the option, so that all
through the War and since the War
until this spring, 1922, although the
cost of other things advanced by
leaps and bounds, the prices Of
school books remained Mt pre-war
level. The publishers claim, and no
one doubts it, that books were fur
nished during this period at an ac-
tual loss to the publishers. Last
spring, upon the expiration of the
three-year contract, the State Board
met the publishers, some twenty-onc
in number, and made new contracts
under which books are now bein,.
sold. The best that could be done
was to secure the best possible
prices and then enter into contract
with the publishers binding them to
furnish to the State of Virginia text
books Mt as low price rs the Same
BOOKS were furnished to any State
in the United States. So it is not n
question as to whether OF not the

ARE THE RAILROADS PRE-
PARED.

There is gradual increase in the
out put of bituminous coal, and the
prospect of greater increase now
that the soft coal strike is about
settled. When the strike in the an
thracite region is adjusted, which is
bound to be very soon, the question
is, are the railroads in n condition to
handle this increased tonnage? The
roads are unable Mt present to handle
the out puts, and little good would
result from n resumption of work i'll

ent situation and embarrassed con-
dition.

ance and good conduct Of such child.
This compulsory attendance law
was enacted because of well rec
ognized public need and as an ex-
preston TO public approval Of a COM
pulsory attendance law. 1t is, there
fore, hardly necessary to call upon
the public for cooperation in the en-
forcement of the law. However, it
will be the duty of the public gener-
ally, rs we'll rs the specific duty of
the School Board to aid in every way
in securing the benefits of this law.
1t is hoped that no unpleasant or
drastic measures will have to be re-
sorted to to secure the observance of
this law but that general interest in
the education "of all the children of
all the people" will be so strong as
to make fines and arrests unnec-
cSSary.

TRIBUTARY TO MIR. DAVIS'S
DEFEAT.
N--srVH

Probably no Democratic candidate
for any office whatsoever, has suffer
ed such an overwhelming defeat as
did Ex-Governor Davis in his cam
paign against Senator Swanson. His
most sanguine supporters were dis
appointed and surprised at the small
vote polled for him. lie failed to
carry a single district, and carried
only few counties.
Senator Swanson made no speech
rs, but remained Mt his post of duty
in Washington. Mr. Davis did good
deal Of stamping, and much advcr-
Using besides, and reports from his
headquarters and from his friends
confidently predicted his election.
There was a slump-a landslide to
Swanson. How did it happen? Who
threw the brick? Who dropped the
wrench among the cog wheels?
There were several contributing
causes as we see it,, and gather from
reports, etc.
Mr. Davis was up against giant
"a man among men, senator of
years of experience in the Senate of
the United States. where lie ranks
high among his colleagues. 1t would
have been little short of presump-
ton in any man to think that the
Virginia people would turn down
Senator Swanson at this time
1t is no reflection upon Mr.. Davis
ability that he was defeated by Mr..
Swanson, but reflection, if ut all,
upon his judgment, as the sequel
shows, again, Mr. Davis incurred the
enmity and opposition of the Vir-
ginia Pilots Association, % powerful
organization. He fought this organi-
cation during his term as governor
and afterwards. thru his mouthpiece
the Southern Planter. This weaken
ed him, particularly in Norfolk,
Newport News and surrounding coun-
ties.
Mr.. Davis claim as the particular
friend and guardian of the farmers
etc, did not appeal as against Mr.
Swanson, who was directly and of
ficially connected with the agricul
tural committees in Washington, ant
was doing. all and more, than Mr.
Davis or any other new man, coult
hope to do, even after years of ex
perience.
x. There were other contributing
causes, and lthc result should not b.
. without its lessons in future, SINH
lar contests. ~
The writer discla.ms any desire O
intention to Cub it in" but only t,
give, if, only a partial answer to tn
question, "How did it happen?"
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1922-08-18

publishers are making too much
profit, but simply question of go
ing into an open market and buying
necessary commodity mt as low i.
price as the same commodity is sold
20 an yone in the United States.
Could anybody be expected to make
better contract? Second, under the
provisions of the law, the State
Beard has set up new machinery for
the prompt and thorough distribu-
ton of textbooks so that the an
noying delays under Which books
have been furnished, when furnish
ed at all, will be done away with.
Briefly, the procedure is this: Pub
fishers are required to sell text
books direct to School Boards or to
their designated agents at u certain
published price, f o. b. publisher.
School Boards, or their agents, are
then required to sell the books to
the people at a price, also published,
not to exceed 20 per cent advance
above the publishers prices. School
Boardj and Division Superinten-
tents are required under this law to
furnish the publishers definite re-
luisitions for all textbooks estimat-
ed to be needed in the division. These
acquisitions are to be made OIL or
before the first day of June and or
ders for books must reach the pub
fishers by June 10TH, shipments to
be made by August 18th.
1t will thus be seen that there will
be. little excuse for not having. on
sale ut the beginning of the session
an ample supply of text books. The
County School Board for Tazcwcll
county appointed the following deal
ers, who will act as the agents of
the Board in distributing books: For

ed to furnish every pupil with list
Of books needed, the price of same
and directions as to where the books
can be secured The patrons are
urged to cooperate with the Board
and the teachers by making the nee
essary purchase promptly with cash
payment. Do not ask the teacher to
advance the money or the agent to
charge on account. If the patrons
will cooperate the Board will make
every effort to see to it that the
teachers and pupils do not have to
mark time for the first weeks of
school waiting for textbooks to
come.
