ECONOMY IS SCHOOL BOOKS.
Should We Have a Chastsc ?
To the Editors of t'm Columbian :
The publishers of Bancroft's Readers
arc placing those books before the Coun
ty Superintendents of Oregon and ask
ing their adoption in place of the Inde
pendent Readers in use during the pa!t
sixyeirs. That the public miy kiiow
what is proposed, and what value lies
in the proposal, we desire to iuvoke the
kindly offices of the Columbian in plac
ing the same before them.
1. The Educational Advantages- A
comparison of the relative merits of the
'book as school readers cannot well lo
made ia a newspaper article, where the
books are not present to be compared.'
Without entering into such comparison,
it, wiil bo recognized by every teacher
and intelligent patron that the impetus
given to the study of reading, and the
interest awakened in it by the introduc:
tion into the schools of readrng matter
with bright new illustrations,, cannot
help being great This new interest ana
enthusiasm will also communicate itself
to other studies. No one doubts these
propositions. As bearing on the ques
tion of the adaptation ot the Indepen
dent Readers to present methods of in
struction It iliould be stated, also, that
the publishers of that series have issued
an entirely new series within year,
based on methods quite opposite to those
which obtain in the old books. The in
ference cannot bo avoided that the se
ries has lost the confidence of the old
great body of teachers.
2. Tug Financial Gain. This will
appear (1) the draper retail price cf
tho Bancroft series after the books are
once introduced.

Third " .55 Third " .75
Fourth " .G5 Fourth " 1.00
Fifth " .00 Fifth " 1.25

By a comparison of retail prices of
Bancroft's Readers with those now in
uss it wiU bo seen that Bancroft's are
$1.00 cheaper per set of 5 books,; or 20
cents per copy, or 26 j per cent. This is
well worth saying.
The financial gain will also appear (2)
in the gain at the time of exchange. At
this point cocaes in tho objector and
says :
"But what are we going to do with
our old books. We can't aft'ord to throw
ttm all away and get new ones."
The publishers were prepared for this
objection, because it is . not a new one.
But they do not meet it as it has been
met by other publishers on former occa
sions, heedless of the interests and
vishes of the public. On the contrary
the public interest has been consulted as
wt-11 as the publisher's interest, and the
objection is generously met by a propo
sition which not only calls for no sacri
fice of any reader nof in use, but on
the contrary, when ary such reader can
be no longer used by its owner it will be
accepted in f- payment' of the book next
required. The hardships which the pub
lic has heretofore experienced in a
.change, arises from the following facts:
1st That only the old reader of a
particular grade was received for a new
reader cf the sime grade ; that is, a First
Reader for a First Reader, a Second
Reader for a Second Reader etc
2nd. That at the end of three months
thl3 wild extortion was replaced by a
prompt advance to full prices for all
books purchased, the old books remain
ing in the hands of the pupil, counting
for absoluily nothing. ...
Bancroft & Co. present no forcing
process of this kinck There proposition
differs from the above in both particu
lars. ,
1st When school opens after July
1885, all children who have finished
their old readers may exchange them
for the new higher reader that must be
bought in any event, and save of the
usual price. This saying considerably
more than pffsets in any family, any oc
casional old book which a younger child
could take. Figure it out and see.
2nd. All children who have not fin
ished their old readers, at the close of
the preceding year, can give thera in
payment for the higher book which thvy
need when the lower it; finished in six
months or'in twelvt months or eighteen
months or any other time when they
need the higher book.
When they get these higher books for
hte first time in. this-way the prices
will be for second reader 15c, instead of
50, third reader 25c, instead of 75,
for fourth reader 30c, instead of $1, for
fifth reader 35c, instead of $1.25.
On thus proposition it is impossible
for any one to figure out any expendi
ture occasioned by the change. There
is none. So confident are the publish
ers of this that they are ready to famish
any family with a complete set of their
elegant new readers, where a fair and
full figuring does not show again to re
sults to such family from the change.
Moreover, the new readers arc all,
from first to tilth, bound in cloth, with
out extra charge. A first or second
reader bound in cloth will last twice as
long as the usual binding such bind-
j ing as is employed cn thi present serie.
But in addition to this tho Indepen
dent series has a sixth reader which is
used in many schools' increasing the cost
$1.50. We have given the prices at
which tho Independent Readers have
been sold. If these prices are reduced
when the publishers solicit a new con
tract, it will be because oar competition
has forced them to it but they have not,
up to thi i time, been reduced in Oregon.
It may be of interest to the public, how
ever, to know that the publishers of the
Independent readers ollered them to the
Board of Washington Territory on the
17th of last July at 30c a set cheaper
than this. Why they were not reduced
to the people of Oregon at the same
! time so that they could avail themselves
of the reduction during the present
year, it is not tor the publisher of Ban
croft's readers to explain.
We ask of the public tho careful
consideration of the above proposition.
We think that the bugbear of extra-
44 coSV' in making a change, m put to
death. We have made the statement
as fairly a we know how to make it,
We ask only that it should not be re
jected without investigation and inresti
galion is inevitable acceptance.

An exchange save that a few days
ago, Brigadier General Newton and
m
Lieutenant Colonel Mendell of the Uni
ted States engineers' corps visited Asto
ria and held a conference with a few
leading citizens as to the proposed work
on the bar. General Newton said he
could not state when active operations
would commence mK it depended on
circumstances lie understood this
was the commencement of our stormy
season, tramways had to be built
antl much rock quarried, and perhaps
this was not a good time to commence
such work. There were, however, many
preliminaries which must be attended to
without delay, and as Lieut. Col. Men
dell and Captain Powell were here for
the purpose of visiting-the scene ef the
proposed operations, fthe result of their
investigations would be apparent All
contracts to be let, is stated, would be
advertised and open to competition by
all responsible bidders. Captain Powell
would have special charge of this work
under Lieut Col. MeudelL Ho had
been relieved of much of his other work
in order that he wight devote more time
to this. In commencing this work Gen.
Newton said ijt; was the intention to
make all work so substantial that as one
aporopriation was exhausted no damage
would ensue to tho work before another
was available-.
Two weeks ago mention was made in
ths paper of a -child at Rathdrum be
ing nearly killed by a pet bear We
have sinee learned that it was the
the two year old child of John Cradle
baugh. When the child was discovered
in the bear's paws, John rushed to the
rescue, and to save the baby he thrust
his hand in the bear's mouth, grasping
its tongue During the struggle his fin
gers were so badly bitten that his finger
nails have since come ofi. It took. three
men to get the. child away from the bear.
The bear is deadt bat tho child is alive
and well as ever.

The people are so pleased with the
new' bridge across the canyon. We ex
pect the next move will be to bridge the
swamp from the further hill to the hill
on which the school-house sits. This
would be one of the greatest things for
St Helen that ever transpired. The
road then to Scappoose would be one of
the finest on this Coast The debris of
the quarries can easily be hauled to
make all soft and miry places solid. The
expense of this bridge might be two or
three hundred dollars, but if it wore
built everybody would wonder how they
had lived so long without it
The actual establishment of an Art
Club will do more than anything else to

is fully given in the November Ar Am

article on " Working Art Clubs," an ar
ticle which every amateur, dosirousof
self-improvement, should peruse with
the closest attention.

old Pacific wharf with their floating Art
Gallery. We do not know how long
they intend to remain, but whether they
reinaii: a long or short time, deserve the
patronage of our citizen.

at Milton depot with A. II. Blakesley.
It was the first regular trip he had
made. He brought in as passengers,
Mr. D. O. Quick, and Hon. G. W.

THE WOULD OF AGRICULTURE.
The Agricultural World, one of
the best, if not the best; farm papers of
its class, is making a great success of h
plan inuguraated by its editor o few
years ago. This plan is nothing less than
the giving of exhaustive articles by tho
best writers on agriculture in all the
countries of the world. The articles from
the different" States and Territories of
our own country are particularly enter
taining and instructive. Judge Par
rish's articles on " The Farmer' relation
to Law" are alone worth the prhe of tho
paper. Judge Parrish, who is one of
the ablest Judges and lecturers in tho
West, will soort. leave for tle South,
with the view of supplying the paper
with a serie3 of articles on the agricultu
ral features of tha; section. This jour
ual also has a fine household department
which makes it particularly r.ttractive tot
lady readers. The price of the AGRI
CULTURAL World (now in its tenth year)
is only One Dollar per annum(26 num
bers). In clubs of five, 80 eents each.
Six months, 60 cents; three months. 40
cents. Sample copies, six cents. Two
cent postage stamps received on sul-
