ber of the state text book commis
sion, whose duty will be to select
books to be used in the public schools
f'r six years, beginning with the fall
term of 1913
The members 'of the new commis
sion will go into office the first of
next year, but Governor West will
make his appointments now so the
members may have opportunity and
time to study the school text book
question thoroughly before they are
ca'led upon to make selections.
"The appointments wiil not be
maJe public now," said the governor,
"as I want to give the members of the
commission a chance to Investigate
quietly and without being besieged
with agents of book publishers. No
member will know who the other
members of the commission are. It
anyone has books to submit or sug
gestions to offer, they can be sent to
this office and I will see that they
reach the members of the commis
sion." Xew Course of Study Probable.
Under the Oregon law a school text
book commission is appointed every
six years. The present commission
went into office the first of 1907, and

SCENE IX ' THE CTIOUCS LADY" AT THE OREGON" THEATER, SATCR DAY EVENING, MAUCII 9TJI
In June of that year officially adopted
tho books now in use. It is probable
that the new commission will adopt
a new course of study, or at least
make many changes in the present
course, and will be ready to make a
report early in tho number of 1913,
so the books may be on hand by the
beginning of the fall term of next
year.
Is Tlicro n ScImoI Book Trust?
Often the nssertion is made that a
school book trust exists and that va
rious contracts for books are appor
tioned among the trust members by
themselves, whi'e on tho surface ther
is the appearance of competition be
tween the various publishers in their
bidding.
Whether Governor 'West had such
an idea In mind when he decided to
appoint members of the text book
commission nearly a year before time
for them to assume office is not in
timated by him, but at least he is
giving the members ample time to
look beneath the surface if they so
desire. x
At the time of the last selection of
school books, contracts were let to
the firm submitting the lowest bid,
but it will be noticed that the con
tracts are quite equally divided am
ong a number of leading publishing
houses. This may mean nothing or It
may mean much that will deserve tho
careful attention of the members of
the new commission while they are
working with their identity unknown
