betwocu the two, it would be pi!er to push forward as rapid I y as posssible fuid a resolution wha finally adopted gelling Tuesday, May 28,atlo a.m., as the time

for opening the scaled proposals for the publication of the text books. It the work beadVaMiuid expeditiously,

there is hut little doubt that books cm he gotten ready by the opening of tlie next school year. Should books be adopted that are now complete and ready for distribution, then there is no doubt

that the law would go Into elfect at the

opening of the fall term; but if manu

ecripu which have yet to be published

be adopted, or it becomes necessary to hire some person to compile books, it

will become impossible to put it in opor ation at so early a date.

If the law cannot bo put in operation

Sept. 1, it was suggested that it might be

to tn e interest or tne public not to at

tempt the adoption of a new system for

another year, as new book of the series

now in use will hnvc to be purchased by , the pupils, thus causing to them a grcal

loss. President Parsons and bunt

Layne expressed thcmclves in favor of

putting the new law into elfect at the

earliest possible moment, regardless of

expenses, this evidently being tho intent

ot the legislature. It it cannot tie done

in September then let It be done iu No

vetnber or January.

The following in regard to the bond

was adopted :

Resolved, That tho amount of bond to

be furnished by any contractor who

may agree to furnish alt of the bonks re

quired by this act ho fixed at $250,000 ;

ann mat the amount of tho bona furnish

en uv anv contractor for tne sunnivlnir

ofonnormore books, but not the full

number required by this act, shall be so

proportioned (in ratio to tho aggregate

vaiue ot suuch books that will probably

be needed in th. etate) as to make the aggregate of such bonds not less than

$300,000.
