THE TEXT BOOK QUESTION.
The Willamette Farmer voices the
the sentiments of most sensible, dis
interested people when it denounces
our quadrennial text-book scramble
es an ontrago upon common sense
and common decency, no less than
an imputation upon the scholarship
of the more aged among us who ac
quired what they know under the re
gime antedating the discovery of
the improved (?) methods so much
vaunted now. That paper says:
"What seems surprising to us is
that common schools cannot get
along to-day with far better appli
ances than the most learned colleges
had when we were young. Only a
fow years ago a very few we had
this school book matter up, and new
text lx)pks were ordered and pur
chased. Already the schools need
improved books. It is necessary to
have new books at least every five
years, so it seems. Making and lob
bying school-books is becoming a
loomed profession, especially the
lobbying part. ,
"In this connection, we wonder how
the world got along half a century
ago. About that time we studied
Noah Webster's spelling book, and
those of us who learned to read and
npell in the good old spellers of that
time manage to .hold our own yet as
manipulators of language. All the
learning of the early part of our cen
tury was based on the old spellers
and readers, and the art of reading
hasn't so wonderfully improved as
these modern teachers and book mak
ers make us believe.
"We believe in progress and hope
all the talent attainable will be en
gaged in perfecting the common
school system, but it is hardly possi
ble that wo need to have new text
books ground out as by machinery
every fow years. Without jesting,
wo ask what great improvement has
been made in the rudimentary books
for schools in the past ten years?
How came it that the "world turned
out such scholars centuries ago? We
who are over fifty years old have
learned the good old mother-tongue
fairly well, without the new text
books to go by, and we cannot see
why new ones are needed so often.
"Lastly, and not least by any
means, fanners, whoso children fill
the public schools, haven't money to
spare to encourage speculation even
in school books. Times are too hard
and money too scarce to talk . about
expending it where it is not absolute
ly and imperatively necessary. So,
in view of the condition of the farm
ing world, wo relegate the school
book question to some time in the
dim and distant future.
"The law, however, reaves this
question, once in four years, to be do
cided by the County School Superin
teadents, who select books for the
ensuing term. The time for select
ing for the ensuing term is close at
hand, and people who have to pay
for schooling their children are ap-
prehensivo lest they shall be called
upon td buy a new set of books. To
put them to such expense will be an
outrage, during these hard times,
that they" will not forgive. We can
not believe that the County Superin
tendents will take any action that
can add to the burdens that are al
ready too grievous to bo borne.
There has not been a time in over
twenty years when all property was
worth so little, and all the people
vero'so embarrassed for want of
means.' "
