SCHOOL BOOK LAW.

Indiana School Journal.

•"fC^

^r

4

In another place in this issue of the Journal will be found the full text of the new school book law. Every one will read it eagerly because of its universal interest, and because of its possibilities, probabilities, and uncertainties.

Tr great ceutral purpose of the law is cheapness of books. A secondary one is uniformity of books, but this was not much considered by the legislature.

Since the piseage of the law it is being widely discussed, and a ereat^ variety of opinions are expressed. The law will not go into affect until all the laws are printed and the Governor issues his proclamation, which will be about June 1. After the law takes eflect the State Board of Education has

to

meet within thiity days and advertise for bids, and then ttiese advertisements have to run 21 days. After the bids are in, the great work for the State Board begins. To examine and compare and make a wise selection involves a vast deal of labor and imposes a great responsibility, and of course cannot be done in haste. Besides, the members of the State Board are all persons holding other responsible positions that cannot be neglected, and their State Board duties must be done piecemeal as tixne can be secured.

After the contract is awarded the publisher must have time to make ready and deliver his books. If all parties concerned consume all the nine that the law allows it will take about ten months to make the books reach the children and if all parties shall make all the haste possible, or probable, it seems absolutely imDOhsibiv for the books to be ready by the opening of next school year." The probable time at which the books can be ready i~r use is not far from the middle of next school year. Inasmuch as it would be a great wrong to the children to allow them to pur chase books at the beginning of tne school year and then throw them aside and buy others without completing them, the strong probability is that the State Board wiil recommend that the new books go into use at the opening of the school year, beginning September, 189U, or one year from next September.

The advantages oi the law are the two name I above, cheapness and uniformity. The disadvantages are: 1. The value of the school books now in the hands, of the children is estimated to be nearly $11,^110,010. These become comparatively worthless, except in so far as they may be re adopted. 2. The very low prices fixed render it probable tnat the best books wilt not be offered, and thus quality will be sacrificed to price. 3. The law requires a bond of $50,000 that the bidder will enter into contract in accordance with his bid, but it does not require any bond th&t he will faith fully carry out his contract when en tered into. 4. As the contract is made by the State Board and the books are shipped direct to the nintty-two county supenn tendents, there is ample room and great temptation for the contractor to let the quality of material used degenerate tar below the standard agreed upon. 5. The law makes the trustee the custodian of the books. Hence, if a _ild wants a book—e ven a 5 ct. copy b^ok—he mutt make a trip to the trustee's book store, wtmh may be in an extreme part of the township. The trustee may arrange to have Looks at the school houses a .d make the teachers his clerks at the opening of school, but can hardly afford to leave them there, as he is personally responsible for their safe keeping. 6. The adoption of new text-boo^s will involve new courses of study, new manuals, new instructions to teachers, etc., all of which means time and expense. 7. While uniformity is secured, there is lost the privilege of selecting books adapted to different localities—the city and the country must use the 3ame. 8. The cost of distributing these books and getting them into the hands of the children is likely to be much greater than the authors of the law anticipated. As the county superintendent is made personally responsible for ail books he will have to receive all books and verify all bills, and this means •that he mubt have a storage room. His •correspondence wiil be greatly increased with publishers, trustees and teachers, and his book-keeping duties will be quite heavy. (And all this in the face ol tne fact that in many counties the superintendent has to furnish ids own office, if he lias any, and pay all bis own postage and btarioaery bills and in the lace of the other feet* that the late legislature killed a bill which proposed to provide an office for the superintendent.) In addition to ttie largely increased duties of the county superintendent, the trustees must add many days' service tj what is now required of them, in order to discharge well all the increased duties imposed by this law. When ttie loss of old books is taken into consideration, and the largely increased pay of ninety-two superintendents and over a thousand townthip trustees is added, there is serious doubt as to whether there is really much saving to the people in the actual cost of books, even at the Drices named. 9.' In the larger cities and towns, trustees, in order to accommodate the children with books, will have to open regular book stores, unless each school house is made a store house, and each teacher a book-seller and each township trustee must keep a stock of books and provide for their pale. 10. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the law is compulsory as to the use of the books selected. One view is that the law is mandatory, and that the contiawtor can comptl the school officers to use the adopted books. The other is tbat tbe purpose of the law is to supply cheap books for the benefit of the people, and not for tbe benefit of the publishers, and that if other books more desirable can be had, the school authorities are at liberty to take them. It is argued that there is no penalty affixed for not using the books, and that if the trustees of a county should refuse to carry out this law, they could not be compelled to do so, 11. Section ten, of the law, is s'mply nonsense as it stands. It requires tJtie county superintendent to bring suit on his own bond in case he fails to do his duty in accordance with the law,

Whether the law will prove satisfactory or not mast be left to the future. The great fear is that the beat books will not be offered at the low prices

fixed. If satisfactory books can be secured, doubtless, after the first year or two, there will be some saving on the cost of books, but the question arises, has the State aright to interfere in any kind of trade for the sake of saving the people a little money? If so, why not provide for cheap clothing and cheap shoes as well?

The great, natural law that should govern all prices is free, open competition. When the State has secured this condition it has done its full dutv.

Have You a Mother.

Christian at Work.

Have you a mother? If so, honor and love her. Ii she is aged, do all in your power to cheer her declining years. Her hair may have bleached, her eyes may have dimmed, her brow may contain deep and unsightly furrows, her cheeks may be sunken but you should never forget the holy love and tender care she has had for you. In years gone by she has kissed away from your cheek the troubled tear she has soothed and petted you when all else appeared against you she has watched over and nursed you witi: a tender care known only to a mother she has sympathized with you in adversity she has been proud of your success. You may be despised by all around you, yet that loving mother standsasan apologist for all your shortcomings. With all that disinterested affection, would it not be ungrateful in you if in her declining years you tailed to reciprocate her lave and honor her aB your beBt, tried friend? We have no respect for a man or woman who neglects an aged mother. If you have a mother, love her, and do all in your power to make her happy.

Campaign Funds for 1802. N. Y. World. Nicholas M. Bell, of Missouri, who was Superintendent of Foreign Mails under Cleveland, has resigned his position and retired. On March 4 he made the first subscription to the Democratic campaign fund for 1892 by determining to devote to that purpose all the salary he should receive from the public treasury after that date. His determination was made public, and soon thereafter Postmaster General Wanamaker accepted his resignation to take effect yesterday. Mr. Bell's subscription to the Democratic campaign fund is, therefore, limited to about sixty days' salary at about $10. Before leaving the city to-day Mr. Bell told a World correspondent that he had sent his check for that amount to Mr. Canda, of New York City, who was treasurer of the last Democratic campaign fund.' Mr. Bell's example, it is said, has been followed by other ardent Democrats, who are anxious to see the party triumph in 1892.

I FARM AND HOME.:

The following is from an editorial with jiow cultivation, especially in the case the above heading in the Mav Century:

the countrv, though a union with its Il"

strength with three or four neighboring |11tbfc

States to the south want, is evident enough. That it should be hastily suggested that anew sectional line of this sort may be drawn, is not strange. But reflection will show that such an alignment is both a moral and a physical impossibility. To begin with, the West itself the offspring of the East. Its institutions are those which were carried by advahcing settlers from the Atlantic seaboard. Its political traditions and associations have always been the same as those of the East. No peculiar interest has ever separated these two portions of the North, as slavery once put apart the North and the South. There is nothing in its political development to incline the Weet towards sectional action against the East. On the contrary, all those underlying causes which in the long run most profoundly influence men work irresistibly towards continued harmony "The notion that an artificial line of division has been drawn which may array West againt East on economical questions is equally fallacious. It is easy to say that the West is an agricultural section and the East a manufacturing one, but the statement will not bear analysis. As long ago as 1880 Ohio reported mucn more than half the amount of capital invested in manufactures which she should have relatively to New York on the basis of population Illinois, nearly half her quota on the basis of Pennsylvania even Missouri, more than a third of the total needed to place her on an equality with New Jersey in the ratio of such capital to population Clearly it will not answer to call such States agricultural communities. "Moreover, experience has shown that not every manufacturing States can be lumped together in politics. In the East, Pennsylvania and New York went one way in 1888, New Jersey and Connecticut, the other. Tt is already coming to be the same with the newer manufacturing States in the West. Indiana has rapidly growing interests in this direction, and it is the closest State in all that region. Illinois has many more manufactories than in 1880, but it gave Harrison a much smaller majority than Garfield. Cail the Weet agricultural or manufacturing, as you please, it cannot be counted as solid any more than the East. The country has suffered so much from sectional politics in the past that the prospect of another line of division might well arouse apprehension, but happily it is plain that no such prospect exists,"

SURFACE CULTIVATION.

Prairie Farmer.

It is now nearly the time of the year when the cultivation of crops will be an important demand upon the time of the farmer. At the Institute meetings this winter the subject of "Deep vs. Shallow Cultivation" has been widely discussed. The preponderance of the tes-

bas been in favor of the

continually broken, the

inevitable result is that the plant is se

riously weakened in the effort to re place these mouths of the plant. It is undoubtedly true, as a rule, that level cultivation is better than hilling.

The principal objects in cultivation are to kill the weeds, and keep the soil in proper tilth as to surface. The prepation of the soil for the ramification of the roots must necesarily precede plant ing. The extension of roots is not by forcing their way through the soil. The roots enter between the particles of soil, however fine. Then, as the roots thicken, there is side pressure, and this increases with the growth of the roots Soil, to promote growth, must be firm enough to preserves capillarity. One object in cultivatiou.'is to keep the surface loose and friable. Thus the sun penetrates mere easily, the rain and dew also are better held, and in times of drouth the moistnre of the subsoil rising constantly is arrested as the point of surface cultivation is reached, and so the roots are enabled to conserve mois ture that would otherwise be lost. The science of cultivation, therefore, is to keep the surface meliow above the point where the roots ramify, and roots will always be found extending up to this point. Two to three inches in depth is sufficient therefore for a summer culti vation, though when the crop is young and the root-growth correspondingly small, cultivation may extend to four inches.

The editor of the Prairie Farmer, some years ago, when carrying on a 2,400-acre farm in Livingston county, Illinois, had one year over 1,200 acres of corn Twenty-one cultivators were employed, The season was a dry one, vet a prolific season for yield crops. To test the question of deep vs. shallow cultivation five were arranged to work shallow, after the first cultivation. It was estimated that the land so worked had five bushels per acre more than the "land deeply worked, and the experiment was, of course, satisfactory. We have since then been firmly of the opinion that as a rule, two inches is deep enough!for the cultivation, after the plants are five inches high.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Two tablespoons of powdered sugar or flour weigh one ounce. Bathe tired eyes in hot water two or three times a day it will rest them.

A wine glass of strong borax water in a pint of raw starch will make collars and cuffs stiff and glossy.

A sprained ankle has been cured in an hour by showering it with hot water poured from a height of a few feet.

Javelle water, used to remove tea, coffee, grass and fruit stains from linen is made thus. Mix well in an earthern vessel one pound of sal soda, 5 cents worth of chloride of lime and two quarts of soft water.

Thick brown paper should be laid un der carpets if the patent lining is not to be had. It saves wear and prevents the inroad of moths, which, however, will seldom give trouble if salt is sprinkled around the edges when the carpet is laid.

If furniture is very dirty, wash off with a flannel cloth dipped in equal parts of vinegar and water dry instantly and thoroughly, and at once rub with flannel which has been dipped in linseed oil and carefully wrung out finish with dry flannel, and rub hard and long. Elbow-grease counts for a good deal in keeping furniture bright.

A Sea Sick Passenger,

On the ocean, cares little about a storm. He is positively indifferent whether he i« washed overboard or not- But set right by a wineglassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, he feels renewed interest in his personal safety. This fine corrective neutralizes in brackish water often eompulsorily drank on shipboard, to the grievous detriment of health— he pernicious impurities which give rise to disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. To the mariner, the tourist, the Western pionoer and miners, the Bitters is invaluable as a means oi orotection against malaria, when its seeds are atent in air and water. To the eit'ect of overwork, mental or manual, it is a most reliable antidote, and to the debilitated and ncrv us it affords great and speedily felt relief and vigoi.

The tenderest drum solos are those that have never been played.

NOTHING LIKE IT.

Great Rejoicing in the Conover Family. Cratches Laid iside After Twenty Years' Use.

I nave been afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely 49e out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease have used the most powerful liniments on my hip and knee to sooth the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of liniments, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, ordered half £a dozen bottles, took them and received some relief, and ordered another dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I am happy in saying that 1 know am being cured. Have not used any liniment since I commenced taking your syrup. When I began taking your syrup I could not take a step without the use of a cane neither could I turn myself in bed without aid can now turn in bed without any trouble, can walk about my house and office without the use of my cane, often losing track of it, or the reason when I take a long walk I take it along. My office is four blocks from my house I have not walked to or from it for over a year until last Thursday, a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every day, except Sunday. I am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction. Yerv truly,
