LEXINGTON WILL CELEBRATE THE 4TH WIEATFSE VOL. II LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY JUNE 13, 1907 NO.-SS LD NEW TEXT BOOKS All but four books now In use in the common schools of Oregon have been changed by the State Text-Book Com mission and new text-books will be substituted at the beglning of the new year. The fourth and fifth Cyr read ers, the Thomas elementary history and the Reed speller are the books retained. Civil goverment has been dropped entirely as a seperate subject and will ' hereafter be taught In connection with history. The mental arithmetic has also been dropped and the mental ex ercises will be given with the aid of the books on written arithmetic. In the place of the two subjects dropped an important one has been added, that of elementary agriculture. This ad dition has been made in response to a very general demand. The principal changes are the sub stitution of Wheeler.s readers up to the third book for the Cyr readers: the adoption of Smith's arithmetics In the place of Wentworth.s:' the adoption of Buehler's grammars In the place of Reed &. Kellogg's. the adoption of the Natural geographies In the place of Frye's, and Doub's United States his tory in the place of Thomas' advanced history.

A the schools under the list in force up to the present tlm was $9.80, this list not including the book on nature study. The prices of those newly a dopted, not including the nature study, aggregate $9. 14; or a reduction of 66 cents. If nature study be included the new list will cost $9.89, or an in crease of 9 cents in the cost of all the books a child must use In his eight years of schooling. Since the new work on nature study Is a pritical treatise on elementary agriculture, it is probable that the book will come Into common use, in which event the eight-year course will re quire 25 bocks, vhereas 27 books are now In use. Without the nature study the entlro Ii.t will include 24 books, ot which number seven are copy books for penmanship. To exchange an entire set of old books for an entire set of new ones on the same subjects will require the payment' of $4.51. On an average the exchange price is about one-half JIK FIKRU TIfK STICK "I have fired the walking-stick I've carried over 40 years, on account of a sore that resisted every kind of treat ment, until I tried Bucklen's Arnica Salve; that has healed the sore and made me a happy man," writes John Garrett, of North Mills, N.
