The Becktold-Williams-JIerrill-Boweii importations were discussed further privately by the superintendents. There was but one sentiment. All fully concur that the law v,- wrong, a detriment to the school?, and as expressed by Superintendent J. N. Study, that there should not be any State uniformity, but each oilyand county allowed to select their own books and appliances as they may think best adapted to their own wants. The fact was brought out that the Richmond schools do not use any of the en-JIerrill copy books, as they consider them so utterly worthless that they could not ail'ord to allow them to he used, hence lhe pupils purchase and hooks those formerly in use—Barnes & Co.'s copy books.

It was conceded that such a law takes away from the people Ihe ri^lit to select their own books through their own local authorities, with the aid of the superintendents, who know the wants and .'needs of their own schools. It is not for the best interests of the schools to compel the pupils of graded schools to use the same books selected for villages and country districts.

The passage and'enforcement of such a law will compel the people to throw away and lose not less than :™.0'V-ftO worth of good books—texts which all concede to be good—and introduce books wLicli have been discarded and thrown out of States for which they were specially prepared.

Careful estimates show clearly that for the payment of county superintendents, trustees, etc., for handling the Indiana books the tax payers are now paying not less than §2500 per day, $15,000 a week or .$60,000 per month. These bills must be paid by the taxpayers of the various towns and townships, and, when added to the cost of the kooks now being forced ii to the schools from Missouri and Minnesota, the aggregate cost will be greater than it is neccessarv to pay for the best books published in this country.

Supt. TV. H. Glasscock, of Greeu field, in discussing the law said, frankly: 'The law is a partisan law a Democratic caucus measure. He further stated fully rhat the school book publishers were not to blame for retail prices of local dealeas that in his own city he knew the local dealers would be given good terms on condition that they retail the books at certain prices, and that they would quietly advance the prices on the books from 20 to 40 per cent above the price agreed upon.

Superintendents discussed the books selected thought them weak, and inferior and said there was much complaint from schools now trying to use them. Much surprise was expressed that any body of men wculd select such books, as all intelligent teachers know them to be inferior and some of them utterly worthless.

We saw in Superintendent Study,s office copies of the covered Merril geographies of 1885, and all the errors and defects in these books are to be found in the editions of 1SS5. Is this fair dealing with the people of Indiana? We think not, and it will be repudiated by the people.

The Origin of Ammonia.

Several Creston housekeepers, since the departure of Dr. Price's baking powder agents, have repeated the test performed by tJie girls, handling the cans and glasses themselves, and have failed to detect the smell of ammonia or the presence of lime in their old favorite brand, the Royal, as the girls did. Can it be possible that those sweet girls, in the interest of humanity, would "salt" the Royal with a little drag? Try the trick yourself, but try a fresh can for fear your old one is not "pure." If the girls had hold of it something might accidentally have dropped from under their finger nails into the can.—Creston Iowa Gazette. From an examination of the socalled tests of these or similar parties in this place, it appears that they are mere tricks. An effort is made to destroy the baking powder found in the home, and to get an order for that which they are peddling. The samples of their own powder used for comparitive tests are found by chemical analysis to have been prepared especially for the purpose. They are none

He was a member of the Methodist church at Curry's Chapel, and sustained a living faith in Christ as his Savior. About a year since, he was afflicted with lung trouble, and for about six months endured the most intense suffering and courage ously battled for life. He yielded his spirit to God in the calm resignation of a Christians hope, exclaiming he was going home to meet his dear loved ones. Elmer is treasured in the loving remembrance of a multitude of relatives and friends who tliiuk of him as only gone before to his home iu heaven.

JAMES V. MARTIN, A. M.

died at his fathers home in Greencastle last Monday evening, from a Brights disease. He has also been a sufferer from rheumatism for several years. He was buried at Greencastle Tuesday at 3 o'clock. The public schools here adjourned in honor of his memory, and a large number of the teachers and several prominent Masons, of which order Mr. Martin was a member, atttended the funeral. James V. Martin was born in Clarksburg, W. Va., July 3,1854. He was the oldest son of Dr. Alexander Martin, late President of DePauw University. Since his graduation, in 1875, he has been continuously engaged in teaching, as principal of the Clark University, Georgia, as professor in the Indianapolis High-school and for the last five years as superintendent of the city schools at this place. He only resigned the first of last month on account of failing health. Professor Martin was a superior scholar and teacher. To a mind of more than ordinary strength he added the advantage of wide and thorough culture. He was highly respected here and greatly admired and loved by the teachers who taught under him. He leaves a wife but no children. Mrs. Martin has the deepest and most profound sympathy of the people of Greenfield in her great loss.
