SALEM, Aiib. 3 (A. P.) UmUr the
law It Is immmlirMi! upon tlm filunn
llonnl authorliioM of Onwni to eon
tlnub In line tin Iwo-OilnlH of llm ti-xt
book list not now crmwl ly coiitri:lH
until such tlim iih ni-w nilnixlnim urn
made by iho text luok commission.
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 making this announcement nt
Asbury park, N. J., yesterday Dr.
Htraton said 1ie wiih not at liberty
to reveal the names of those who
had urged him for the place. They
were, however, prominent New York
ers, who had formed an organization
with vtiifrh to prosecute a nation
wide war against the teaching of
evolution In tax supported schools.
J Jr. Kt ra ton said he Would chal
lenge Clarence Durrow to u series of
from ten to twenty debates on ovolu
tlon. New York, Chicago, Philadel
phia, und Atlanta, are four cities he
named as having already been se
lected for the debates. If .Mr. Har
row declines, he said, Dudley Field
Malone will be challenged.
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." -
