Truth in Texts

A prominent educator declares that
school books are the most unattractive
volumes that are printed. He believes
that there form. makeup. and type
should be OF a character to arrest and
hold the interest of the children who
read them That is true. but there are
considerations OF more importance. In
the years following the world war
many textbooks OF American history
were revised by their authors along
internationalist lines The stories of
American heroes and the thrilling an
ccdotes that are found throughout the
story OF the Republic were rewritten
in matter-of-fact style or deleted en-
tirely. Where formerly the student
had felt his blood Jingle and had swell
ed with patriotic pride as he read the
stirring tales of the early years of the
country. his interest was completely
lost when his history author informed
him that the Revolution was merely a
difference of opinion and there was no
adequate cause for the war OF 1872
Fortunately for the youth of the coun-
try. various individuals and patriotic
organizations have investigated and
exposed the insidious influence of
those denatured American history text
books. and several of them are being
revised again back to their earlier
standards of Americanism. Not only
the form and type of our school books
must be attractive, but the text must
tell the truth and in a way that will
bring inspiration to the student

During the six-year period from
1916 to 1921. inclusive, an average oil
$500 forest fires occurred annually
burning over more than 100000 acres
of forest land. In 1922 nearly $1,000
fires occurred, OF which $4,000. or 81
per cent were classed as man-caused
fires, and therefore were largely pre-
