We feci lufe in lay ing, therefore that the senti ment is ugaiust uny material cliungo in the school books. Willi regard to the rain mar in use, there is some (liUlrence of opinion, tome sensible arguiueiita are being nude aa to tlie adopting of one system of Xratutnar, instead of usin one kind lor one grade and unotlitr fur a higher grude. Sotne tti x Weeks ago, id common with our coiitetnHruri('n, we ex presned our opinion on the matter and invited u diiictission of the tub jeet in tho columns of the Chroni cle, and coci!iIIy invited the opinion of those who thought otherwise than we did. Up to date no one ha expressed dissatiafcalion with the opinion therein advunced. We have been using the present syMt-in of books for 11 number of yeurs, and the fact that the makers of Home other series of books have suddenly discovered that their books are Udter, i ut least capable of being thought not entirely disin terested. The change of books would in- llid a burden on hundreds of parent 1 whose resources are already taxed to the utmost to keep their children comfortably clad, fed uud in school. Tho richest man, un fortunately, does not generally raise the largest family, but the reverse of tho projioaition is true, and those who have the least worldly goods aro mot richly en dowed with tho pleasures of affection, as though a bounteous, but injudicious Nature would countcr-hallatice the niggardliness of fortune by giving more gener ously of nil sho hail to give. Thus in changing school books the heaviest tax is thrown upon tho iioDttrt persons. The interest of the parents, of the children, and therefore of the state, all demand that for the pres ent, at least, the school books be left fin they are. This is the senti ment of the lien "papers of the state, therefore, as we have said, it is fair to presume it is the senti ment of the readers of those puers, ;'),. :!!.:! rni is but tho n.irror that rt llects the opinions and tciiliments of the public. We have no doubt taut when the fiip erinUiulents vote on ti e uttestion that vote will be unanimous in favor of retaining the present vslciu. In the early part of this century the jsist.igo tm a single sheet of pa r was eight cents, ami over forty miles tho rule was increased so that over live hundred miles a single sheet was twenty-live cents. Kui after a time these rates were gradually reduced, until 1815 a letter not over halfun ounce was live epiiis under three hundred mih s, and over that distanco ten cents.
