Krto texthoaks for pupils of the
elementary public schools will bo
provided hi Oregon if the rtteom
niendationa of the text book eom
nilttee of the Oregon TencherB' as
sociation lead to the enactment of
a law to this effect.
Only two definite decisions Were
made 'by the text book committee
which met Saturday in tho port
land hotel, although several other
phases of the question, .such as
minimum 'requirements nnd uni
formity f courses of study ovor
tho state were discussed. The
other point agreed upon was that
the state should not do the print
ing of the textbooks, this decision
being "based upon a rather exten
sive investigation tho committee
had made Into the text book af
fairs Of other states.
Tho committee members voro
A. C. Hampton, superintendent of
the Astoria city schools; Brnntoii
Clackamas county schools;. F. C.
I Baumnn, superintendent of the Met
Mlnnville city schools; C. V. Boot
tlcher, , superintendent of The
Dalles 'city schools and Edna Goor
superintendent of the Linu county
schools.
Opinions Differ
J. S.- Landers, president of tho
state teachers association and
president of the Monmouth Normal
itochool, nnd E. F. Carleton, secre
tary of the association were pres
ent for part of the meeting, along
with some representatives of the
I'nrent-Teucher organizations and
others interested in the text book
question, , ' ' , ; ; i
While tho committee was all of
one mind thnt free text books
fehould be furnished, a difference
arose as to whether the books
should be furnished by the state as
whole by uniform adoption or
should selection be optional with
the. districts. .
Some of the committee urged
uniformity in course Of study so ;
that students moving from one dis
trict to another could go right
ahead without interruption. All
agreed that a minimum, require
ment with an option of including
supplementary courses m&ht workout.
The committee did not Include
any representative from the Port
land Schools, but C. A. Rico, city
superintendent, was present for
part of the discussion. Mrs. W. W.
Gab rial, president of the state
Parent-Teacher association, and
Mrs. L. It. Baker, chairman of tho
legislative committee of tho stato
(association were also present.
George Neuner, who had a rough
draft of a. proposed law on fro
textbooks, outlined tbjg to the com
mittee, but action was deforrcd
pending .further consideration by
another committee to bo named by
the president of the State Teachers'
association.
Some of the salient features of
Che committee's report are:
"The committee feels that for
the parents of tho children in the
state of Oregon to be compelled to
buy textbooks for their children
Is inconsistent with the compul
sory school law of the state. (Here
the law requiring attendance is
quoted). -We submit that when
the state says to the parent, "You
must send your children to school,
and that you have no election In
the matter," it Is not fair for tho
state to not furnish tho full equip
ment for educating the children.
Your committee also feela that
"under the free system the child
ren of poor parents may appear at
school as well. equipped as children
of the well-to-do, and no sugges
tion of 'charity' attaches to tho
poor child.
. Expressions Given
The committee members hnd
made an investigation Into tho text
book laws in a number of states
nnd In the reports tho following
points having a bearing on stato
printmg of , text books wcro
brought out.
In the stato of Washington fit
'now used In the state could not
be secured under stato publica
tion. In replies to questionnaires
sent but by the committee to rep
resentative school In Cafllornla
and Kansas the lrto majority In
each instance w'ero decidedly
against the stato printing of text
books.
The Investigation further reveal
ed that the material In the book
printed by the stato is generally
Inadequate for the reason that the
plates of a number of the leading
publishing houses are not avail
able. The committee hold that
the children of Oregon are entitled
to tho best books availablo and
that the state Is not justified either
on educational or economic
grounds In printing their text
books.
