State Textbook
Commission Meets

The state textbook commits
ion of Montana met in Helena
last Saturday to act on exist
ing contracts for school texts
in the subjects of geography,
physiology and hygiene, read
ing and history.
The board had before it in
formation obtained from grade
school teachers and principals
throughout the state regard
ing the texts now in use i'll
the four subjects.
These sources seemed to ag-
rec that the present history
texts are too difficult for the
grade school children, and that
since these books are six years
old, they are out OF date.
Criticism regarding the phys
iology and hygene textbooks
was aimed at the fact that the
books devote too much space
to the subject of physiology
and not enough to the are of
the human body. 1t was also
found that modern books
stress the subject OF safety,
which is not included in the
present books.
The board, in considering
changes in the reading and
geography texts, concluded that
such changes would be very
expensive to the taxpayers, and
that the present books in these
subjects were satisfactory.
Although the law gives the
commission the right to make
changes in three subjects, it
was decided to extend the
present contracts for two years
in geography and reading. Bids
are to be requested tor new
textbooks in history and phys
iology and hygiene. New con-
tracts in these two SUBJECTS
will be let on the second Mon
day in December, 1888.
