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.

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
