I therefore request that no ap
pearance be made in my behalf.
The letter prepared by Mr. Tur
ner follows In part:;
"After due and careful consid
eration of the! matter ; In all ; its
phased have determ ined t re
quest that you do not appear to
represent me before Judge Hew
itts court ob the spe-ifeed date. I
feet-that the best interests or the
schools of the state will be "served
if the matter Is permitted to go
by default," .!."'. ; , ' J, . i .:.
"The reasons that impel me to
this action ami as follows: '"
"First: Certain circumstances
have surrounded this recent adop
tion of textbooks which have in
spired jdoubt in many minds, as to
whether all members of tbej com
mission had in mind and purpose
solely the welfare of the schools
of the state.
"Second: In my opinion, some
unnecessary changes were made
in texts, thus entailing heavy ex
pense to the patrons of the public
schools.
"Third: Mature and careful con
sideration was not accorded! to all
adoptions made. The agriculture
and arithmetic adoptions occupied
the entire morning sessiop, and
adoptions In 15 subjects were
crowded into the afternoon ses-
iuu. j Lie cuniorj action ' oi me
commission is evidenced by the
fact that adequate investigation
was not made of a statement, lajer
suDsuiniiaiea, mat uregpn was
not being offered terms oh a cer
tain textbook as advantageous as
those offered elsewhere. - Adont-
ion of this text was mada'oti terms
disadvantageous to" thief state.
which the publishing company
subsequent to the adoption of
fered to lower, admitting that
more favorable terms bad been
granted elsewhere.
"Fourth: Some of the textbooks
adopted have on careful examina
tion 'proved flagrantly inferior
and unsuitable .for use in the
schoolsof this state.
"Fifth: It would seem desirable
that opportunity be given the leg
islature , to investigate the text
book situation and to revise the
laws governing the same in order
that the interests and welfare of
the schools may be better ; con
served." . ' . .
It was reported here today that
Bert' Haney, Portland attorney,!
spent part of yesterday; in Salem
conferring with members of the
board qfj education, a.nd urging
that they "sign the contracts with
the publishers covering the recent
adoptions the State textbook
commkiilo , Neither -the - state
superintendent of m hools nor the
secretary-of state would submit
to Mr. Haney's request, and in
formed him of the action they
proposed to take in the case..
The legislature, at its next ses-

asked to amend the present laws
governing V textbook adoptions.
New adoptions then could be made
with a view of giving, the public
adequate protection. iJ3r
A report h?o today that one'or
two textbook publishers contem
plated mandamus proceedings to
compel members of the board of
education to sign contracts cover
ing the recent adoptions, was not
accepted seriously either by the
secretary of state nor the state
superintendent of public instruction.
