But, unrior the law, the) text book commlHHlon cannot mnko new adop tion until November, 1H2fi. Tho law Kpedflonlly pointH out tho duty of the text book eommlKHlnn and the mate board of ertwntion, hence, there lu no cmorneney existing. Tho nhovo, In Hulmwince, Is the opinion of Attorney (icnernl Van Wlnklo. whoHf wiitn-n opinion on ihe question wiih received today by the? mate board of education following IiIk oral opinion which wiih delivered yes terday to the Ktiite text book commis sion. In tho fre of that opinion the commlKftlon voted to meet Aukuki lid and adopt new bookH. Tho opinion quotes tho law of 1923 which Hays: "Tho Htatn hoard of text book commlHHlonerH Khali meet at the Htnte cnpiliiT on the third Monday In November In tho year. 1024, and on tho third Monday In November every two years thereafter.' The opinion nlno cites the low ro qulrlns the state suporlnLondent of Hchoota Jn February, 1121, and in Feb ruary of every two yeunt thereafter, tn notify tho puhllHhers of the 'meet ing of the text hook commission to bo held the followlnR November. Another quotation from the law nays that "all contractu with publish ers for bookH not changed Khali re-1 main In force until the readoption, 1 replacement of substitution of said i text books." ' I The opinion Interprets the law to 1 mean that "the use , of text books so adopted Is mandatory upon all puhllc . school, and teachers In the atnto with out ppeclfylnK uny Hinltntlon of time i for fluch, use, Tho only conclusion' therefore to bo drawn Is that they are to be used until changed by action of the text book commission and hIjiio bourd of education." The text book cnmmlsHton yesterday wan of the opinion that it had u right to adopt hooks nt dates other than provided In tho law hecnuso of the following provision of tho law; "If at any time during the six years covering the nddltlnn of text hooks an herein provided, n publisher hall fall or be unable to furnish uny adopted text book, or his contract bo rewind ed, or, for uny cause, It becotnea nec essary to adopt uny text Imitcad of or In addition to those required by the oourso of study In force at the lime of the regular addition, the chairman of, the hoard' of text hook comniis h loners or (he governor nuty call a special session of said board, ami it ahall thereupon convene and adopt nuch text hook In the same mnnuer us In this act provided, and tho mate su perintendent shall In such case cause the proper ctrcurirs am) notlcea to be ent to the publishers," The opinion declares that none of the conditions mentioned in the above excerpt now exist, andadds: "It Is true that the contracts- for two-thirds of , tho books now In uho in tho public achoolM have expired, but the statute Hpeotrically ntithorlKCH the continued use of such hooka for two nnd four years for the respective thirds, and that no other text books . shall be used In tho puhllc schools subsequent to himIi addlt Ion. 1 n other wurds, the legislature ha clearly Indicated Its Intention that the book already adopted shall remain In use until new adoptions ure made nt the regular biennial periods set out In the statute." This would seem to explode the theory of some members of the text book commission that1 the nuorney gHneral's verbal opinion left nil super intendents freo to adopt text books as they saw fit.

In an address nt Asbury park lost night, Dr. Htraton blamed evolution ists "glorification of the : flesh" for the "ethical collapse" of the modern generation. ".Monkey men make monkey mor als," he said. "The modern dances reflect the prevailing philosophy of animalism. Tho theatre is reeking with pmriil Infamy as a result of Us fleshy tendencies. It was tills re flection of evolution- philosophy that destroyed Germany." - AT STATE ASYLUM BE CHICAGO. Aug. 4. (A. P.)
