covering one-third of the texts

"Thousands of famlllea are

governor wroto. "The unemploy-
, ment problem Is more serious
than It baa been for years. This
la a time which calls loudly for
retrenchment along all lines.
"I suggest that you proceed
very slowly In the matter of
chaqca In text-books now In as.
To adopt many new text-hooks,
unless there Is a roal reason (or

pense for. msny of the families

many of the present text-books
w!!t bo handed down to other
