J ,m mm mmi FRIOAT, JANUABY 4,1901. Givernor Geer Wednesday made known the personnel of th new Text Book Commission. No other official aol of the state's chief executive has been given suoh wide-spread attention, and conoernlng none other has sis much advice soaght and un sought, wise and otherwise, in terested and uninterested been tendered. Confidence in the , wisdom and integrity f Gov ernor Geer has given the Ga zette assurance that his selec tion would be a good one even if a suggestion from us were lacking. The diversity of opinion man. fested by the press of the state as to whom should constitute the board toaded rather to confuse than to solve so vexed a 'question. While we hays with held advice, we are prepares to accept the. result of the govern or's choice with as much satis faction as those persons who have unselfishly given their tim( V to harrassing Mr. Geer with val- Inable notions as to the compo sition of the board. There is one very noticeable feature about this controversy over the ship subsidy bill. Sup porters of the measure, both in print and in congress, are far better versed on the his tory of American shipping from the foundation of the government to the present day and the suS ject in general, than are those who oppose it. Those who urge its passage meet every objection with facts and figures, indisputa ble, which surprise and confound opponents whose .only argument seems to be that ship-building will be revived in this country just because it will be revived, No measure - yet suggested has been so meritorious as the bill now pending. It is the product of three years' labor of the most capable men in the entire coun try, it was inspired by the best sentiment and the wisest expert ence of those best qualified to judge Its merits. T6e Salem Statesman has issued a most creditable illns trated annual. It eontaias much valuable information concerning the resources of Oregon, witfe particular attention to the ad vantages of Liarioa county. Its lllastrations include half tones of the state . officials and publi buildings as wall as those of prominent cittzens of the capital city. - - New Text-Book Commission . Governor Geer has made known his appointments to constitute the , laxt-feook commission. l ney are H. VV. Scott, of Portland; P. L, t CamDell. of Monmouth; Stephen A Iowell. of Pendleton; W. M. Ladd of Portland, and W. M. Col via;, of .lacksonville. In aniiounciag the appointments the governor said: "I have given a great deal of thought to this ques tion, and have selecttd five men well known to the po?le o Ore gon, whose characters are already well established, and all of whom, I believe, ars college graduates. I hate selected men who will give character to the cotmiasion, in stead of depending on the ommis b'iob to give character to the men. No man stands higher in the teach ing profession than one of thata; another is an ex-county school uperintendenl, and the others are also men of culture who are well qualified for the work before them." 'This board of five commissioners takes, the place of the state board of education and all the county superintendents In selecting text books for use in the public schools of the state. Ihe law under which the appointment is made " was en acted in 1899. It provided that in January, 1901, and eveiy four yeari thereafter, the governor shall appoint five text-book commis Bionsrs, who shall hold their offices "until their successors are elected and qualified." In February, 1901, and very slx'years thereafter, the state superintendent is required to Issue a circular, aftd send it to the leading book publishers of the United States, giving notice that a selection of text-books is about lo be made, and giving pertinent in formation on (he subject, with the name and address oi each text Look commissioner. The commissit t shall m5et at the Stato- Capitol 61 the b ia Moniey m July, .1901, find ti 3 ond ftii itfay in July every six ; . rs therca "t, and-eon- tinuein s....ion not nmre than 15 lays, i:i thH time selecting by ma jority v-ite om proposals submit ted in wr, ng by publishers the books lo re ufc! in the public schools of i ie s'...te for a period of six years. This commission shall ! report its selections and the terms and price" ! the state board of lucation (governor, secretary of state and - -ia superintendent of schools), - nh shall enter into contract v 1 the publishers, ex acting bot, etc., as specified in the law. J .ch commissioner enali receive $1C for the meeting and 10 cents per mile traveled. ' The old method was for the state board and the counly school super intendents lo select the text-books for the public schools. Obituary. - Henry Elliott was born De cember 9, 1833, in Mr. Vernon, Knox county, Ohio, and died December 21, 1900, in Menroe, Oregon. His pilgrimage on earth was 67 years and 12 days, almost three score and ten. We would not, however, measure his lfe by years, for it was hob im portant with Henry Elliott how leng he livd, but how he spent his life. . Mr. Elliott was married to Miss Elizabeth Kindel in Moao- quet, Indiaaa, in 1849. There were five children from this uniou, three of whom are now living, Mrs. E. Grimm and Mrs. W. H. Kay, of Monroe, Oregon, and Dayton Elliott, of Crook county, Oregon. Much could be said in favor of Henry Elliott, but it is not necessary, for his life has beeu before this people for many years. Thay know him. He has proven himself to be a Chris tian husband, father and gentle man. He was always found on the right side in his moral sense of truth and justoce. His motto was, "Injure-no man, but do all men good, if you can." His life was not of the flashy effer vescent kind , but was of that sort which finds its best expres sion -in a quiet. Unassuming Christian life. May God multi ply in this earth such lives! : He did net cover a multitude of sins by some few generous acts. . His dispOsitio: as a whol j was kind and bene ileat, and his heart had but Hi le of the dross which so ften hides ahd mars a true vein of gold. . May his ashes rest in peace; may his soul be happy with its Co , and may his life, and triumphant death be an in centive an- an encouragement to his wife- a lives and -Hnsban will miss. children, ; his rela- nds. . .... father, friend, we 5 on: but, while our hearts are i ad and lonely, we will have the blessed hope that we shall meet again.
