Office corue rot Mainland .<1 st eets. The School Book Question. Th» communication from the pen of Claude Tliayer, publiwlied in'another column, and relating to School Book«, taken in connec­ tion with Mr. Letcher'» article in la»t week’» isnue, demand» we think gome notice from the editor. Ordinarly we prefer to let corres­ pondent» discus» the subject» they write upon, without edit­ orial interference, but in this ca»e there seem» to lie a misiinderstand ing, which ought to corrected. As Mr. Thayer truthfully says ‘'the school director» have no choice, whatever, in the selection of the books that are to be used in the school».” xlie matter of Helen the books is taken entirely on the hands ot the director», lr fixed by statute. The Unit Text-Book Law was passed 1888, and the clause ofthe act r<* furring to text-books reads H B follows: “It in hereby provided that saiooks for the high schools only, but no change in the text-books in any district shall be made at any other time than that provided in this act; pro­ vided further, that not hlng in this act shall prevent the State board of education ordering the Superintendent of Public Instrnction to issue special circulars to tin* county superlnten dents and Stale board of examiners to select as ill the regular vote any new text books or series of text books ill use, when in the judge inentofthe State board of education any text­ books or series of text, books in use is supplied at an unreasonably high price, i>r is found lobe excelled by some more recent publications in that branch, or for anv good and sufficient cause; and it is hereby provided that the county superintendents and State board of examiners shall select a text book or series of text-books immediately as in answer to regular citculars of the sit erintendent of Public Instruction and re|>oit to them their choice, and such selection shall Immediately thereafter be made known officially ns in the regular selection; and such text-book or aeries of text-books «0 selected slinll be introduced in all the common schools of the Slate within six months afte such announceinent, and any district neglecting to so provide for the introduction of such text books or sei lea of text-books shall forfeit its proportion of the school fund for each year thereafter until it complies with this require­ ment. * many other were naturally mislead by the action of the former board of directors, in allowing other books to be used, and not being lawyers they did not know the motive of the order made by the new board, and lienee criticised it. Prof. Walker and all other teach­ ers in this state are deserving of the profound sympathy of till the patrons of the schools, if they are required to teach from trashy or imperfect text-books, but there is no way of remedying the matter except by law In the mean time if any of the teachers desire to use oilier text-books as merely supplementary, and are so anxious to use them as to furnish them themselves, it would seem to ns tliev certainly ought to have the privilege of doing so. It will now be in order for Mr. Bryan, of Mexico, to explain how it is that 1897 proved to be the best business year in the United States witnessed by the present generation. The explanation from Mr. Bryan would be especi­ ally fitting in view of his state ments (luring lite last campaign to the effect that free coinage was the only means by which this country could hope or expect to attain any degree of prosperity. It may be that Mr. Bryan yet fa'ls to see anything but signs of •‘temporary” prosperity, but as lie has not said anything on this subject for a coup­ le of monllis, it is to be presumed that ho admits wliat the rest of the United States has gladly pro­ claimed. Mr. Bryan might obtain some assistance from Dunn’s Re­ view, n generally accepted author­ ity, which among a host of figures indicating prosperity in various branches, shows that in failures 1897 was not only the best yea r since 1892, but on the whole the best ever definitely known. The Madrid government puts the case rather inidly in admitting that it has received “disagreeable news” fmtn Cuba. It is getting the worst intelligence from that quarter that it ever obtained. The riots in Havana give a new element of perplexity to the Cuban problem Two cil'cuiusfiiiiceH— Blanco's fail lire in the field and the rejection of tiieautonomy proposition by the foes and friends of Spain on the island- are responsible for the out break. Intervention by the United States may become ueccessary any day as a protection to American interests, and that might mean war between this country and Spain. In any case, Spain’» hold on the island is far feeblai at this moment than it ever was before since lhe Spanish (lag was first raised in that region.
