Dally Democrat SCHOOL, BOOKS. Siikdd's, Or., Jan, 18th, i8S9 Editors Democrat : I hve a boy attending school who U now seventeen year. old. He studies or thography, rea'dlng, arithmetic, writing, grammar, physiology, geography, United States history and pensmanship, in all o which he Is considerably advanced. Now I want to know how much It is going to cost me to get the new books, which haye been adopted to take the place ot the old ones, ol which my boy is now supplied with one in each branch. Our people here want to know something about the change and what it will cost them. A great deal is said but no one seems to understand tne matter. Parent. The above quest'on is a legitimate one and its proper answer should be u nderstood by every parent in the state. In orthog raphy there will be no coit as there is no change. In reading there has been a change In all the readers, but there will be no cost as the publishers ol the readers have agreed to exchange free. If jour boy has a third reader of the kind now in use, whether it be new or much worn, a new third reader of the recently adopted kind will be exchanged for it free. Or a fourth for a fourth, or fifth for fifth.and so on. In arithmetic two books in Brooks have been changed for two of Fish's. If your boy uses Fish's book No. 1 the change in arith metics will cost you 15 cents. If he uses No. 2 it will cost you 30 cents. In pen manship there Is no change. In grammar there is no chanee. In physiology there is no change. In .United States history there is no change. It is due to candor to t that in arithmetic a new primary work called Piper's Seat Work has been added for the accommodation of sucii scnoois as desire a primary work suited to very young children. In grammar, as we before said, there has been no change from Sill's, but a v work called 'Short Studies in linglish h,. hern added. It is doubtful whether nna district in a hunJred will use this book, as most teachers regard Sill's as sufficiently primary for beginners. In geography no change has been made, but a new book on Phvsical Geozraphv has been added called Guvot's Phvsical Geography for use in high and advanced schools. In history Barnes' nrimarv history ha. been added for begin ners. It is not probable that this will come into general use.as most teachers will con tent themselves to use Barnes' Brief His tory, the one now in use So "Parenfwill see" that in the case of his boy the greatest cost he will be subjected to is 30 cent. If teachers do not use the "added" text books the expense' ot the cnange will bo trifling. THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. The wool growers and woolen manufae turers have been before the Senate finance committee to represent their respective interests. The manufacture wanted such amendments as would reduce the duty on wool while the wool grower wanted an increase of duties. On both sides there was much heat and vigor In their argu ments. Senator Sherman, who Is the em ployed representative of the wool growers, offered an amendment that Increased the a... nn wool, whereupon the manufac ture declared that the adoption of the amendment meant a instruction ot tneir industry, and that as against It they would work for free wool. This Is tne oeauiuui (nil, re and outcome of protection. The protected monopolies of the country that in.ni their monev so xreelv and in sucn "i - - profusion to elect Harrison are now openly scrambling before Congress to see which shall have, most of the "swag," that eomes by protection. Let the fight go on. It Is but another phase ot tne "campaign 01 education." The wool growers have a right to demand of the republicans an in crease of duties on their products or a ae- crease of the duty on raw materlal.The utter Impossibility of the republicans to harmon ize these two conflictine interests has no bearing on the minds of those who are scrambling after this "protection" swag The selfish greed of the protected monopo lists knows no bound or limit.

Sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. The mirrnhej that cause disease do not flourish in strong sunshine. It also has the advantage of being cheap.

To polish it use a mixture of equal quantL ties of linseed cil, beeswaj and turpentine, and have it rubbed in well.
