Chisel in hand stood the sculpt r
bov,
With a marble block befoie hin ,
And his face lit up with a sni't
of joy
Al an angel dream parsed o'er
him ,
Sculptors of life are we, as w
stand
With our lives uncarved before us
Waiting the hour when at Goa's
command
Our life dream passes o'er us.
Let us carve it then on the yield
ing stone
With many a sharp incision.
Its heavenly beauty shall be our
own
Our lives that angel vision.

SCHOOL TEXTS
to
Our state school officials art
in a muddle over school book adop
tions.Only one thing appears
be clear at this time and that th
public will pay more for texts
Mr. Ultiamte Consumer will gel
another jolt on the solar p'exus
He always does.
In the general discussion ol
this subject in the press, it seems
to de assumed that if bids cculd
be legally called for at this time
as seems precluded under tin
law, there woulJ be genirne com
petition among bonk publisher
and the price broufht within th
limits of the public interest
Bat thison.y indicates ignomnci
of the actual text book situation
ine reaiiy cmpeuuve Didder u as
extinct as the dodo. Value for v
ue, the bids will le identical.
Nor is this all. The publishers not
only have a gentlmen's under
standing as to whole sale and re
tailprices but as to the ma g
allowed to dealers and this mai
gin is so narrow us to itave iht
book handlers the merest shad
ow of a profit. The publishers
not only soak the pnblic but hoi.'
the entire procefds of the graft.
Some commonwealths have al
reaiy been force 1 into state pub
licition of texts andj others will
finally be compelled tofollow,
