THE TIMES.

Purt. E. S. Monroe, of xh llamincinl PuMIc schools in answer to inquiries reKardlns the text book FitiiHtton in the Jiammond schools took th matt r up with L. ". llines. former superintendent of public ijiHtruclloii In Indiana and In reply received tho following communication which will interest the many patxor.. of i'ubl;; bchoolu in Lake County:

"In connection with this matter of I

th textbooic situation, I desire to make f '.! statements which I have set vJt ht low. Thes statements arc not intended as a defense of any conditions that exist. They are given merely in explanation of what ha happened and is lilcely to happen in regard to the adoption and purchase of textbooks m Indiana. "(1). The Indiana law tre. ;:i?. that the State Board of Kdui atiou shrill adopt textbooks In each of the following subjects every live eurs: Kleraentary schools, orthography, ifudiinr, writing:, arithmetic, eotn .lpiiy. Kr.slisli grammar, physiology, history of the United States, domestic HOienro. .'ifiricultare and industrial arts; hih '"lnx'ls: Algebra, Reometry, commer-

mnl let contracts for books for th 8ucceedniK tie ears. "(4) Mapy people Ret the notion that the State Hoard of education ifl constantly chanKing hook. Th State Hoard of Education is doing nothing of the kind. N books can be adapted for less than five years. Furthermore, tli

I rules of the State Hoard provide that

when a child has once bought a book, a.s an arithmetic for instance, the child may continue to us-e that arithmetic as Ion it as he studies the phase of the subject covered by the text. "t.il. The law fixes no exact date for receiving: bids, opening: bids or letting contracts for the five year adoptions. The only thing speciiied la that the hooks miiBt -lie ready for use in tho schools at the opening of the term in September after the old eontracts have expired in the preceding s-prin &. '6. Texts in the following: I subjects were adopted on February 1, 19. 1: Geography, i n.-lifh k ram mar, orthoraphy, physiology. American history, and home economics. The contracts on texts in these subjects, except homa economics which la a new subject, expired with the close of the school term,

arithmetic, history; United States. in the srriiiR of 1921. The State Board :it, mediaeval and modern; civ ti j oonsoqut ntly, was under the necessity

com-

tfovernnient, physical peoKrat

nierei.il geofc-raphy, history of Kncii.sti literature, history of American literature, Eng'.sh composition nt.d rhetor- ! I,at!n, beRlnning Latin, Latin cramma r, prose composition, t'aesar. Cicero, Virpll, botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, agriculture, agricultural botany. The State Board of Education has no hoice In regard to this matter As a consequence, whenever the live years' contract on a bock expires, the Board must advertise for bids and let a newcontract for a period of live years. "(2). The last contracts on a.l hlch school texts were awarded on May 2;. 131 J; the new contracts will be award

:.nR to law, in tne spring of US ur.Jess the law is changed in the menutime. "i ?). Th contracts on prde fx's are not all awarded on the same date legalise the law In resard to the award i.nsr of these contracts was amended from time to time as new subjects were brought under the operation of the state wide statutes. The elementary texts are adopted in the following groups, as the five years' contracts expire: 1:113-24. the following- grour1: Keidinar. arithmetic, writing: 1?21-2'1, the following: group: Geography. FntrVsVi grammar, orthography, physiolosry. American history, home economics, s these five year contracts expire on the, vr.rieus groups of books the ?tat Board of Kducatlon must obey the" law

of advertising for new bids, no discretion in the matter

law directed the Board to

union shop to get a achoolboak printed a.s to yet any other similar amount of work done, e "(11). The tate Board of Kducatlon does not iix the price of school books. Under the law it simply cts the best prices it can from the bids that are made. Tim only explanation of the price advance lies In the fact thnt paper makers, printers and all others conoeri.ed are gftiing more for their material and labor than they did before the war. The State Board docs not undertake to tail certain price lair and other plieeH unfair. Th law teils tho Board to get tiio lowest and best bids possible and have boVks ready for use after any contract has expired.. "( 12). It lias been suggested many times that it would be well for Indiana to adopt free textbooks. Every sta'e north of the ilwson and line between the two ocruut except Oregon arid Indiana has free textbook legislation of soma kind. In those states where the textbook laws are statewide and compulsory nobody ever talks about going hack to tim old system of having the parent; pay for th books. It In in Indiana of all the northern and western states that we llnd a lot of criticism of the free textbook system. In general, book.- would cost less because they could be contracted for on a state-wide basis and the collections would be certain. lYirthermore, all tax payers would fdiare in paying the tax to be used In educating the rising generation. This would so split up the cost of books that no. one would feel any hardship in this arrangement. If every father had to buy a broom for his ihlld so that his fluid could keep his part of the school-

If every child had to buy his the Indiana schools for k period of share of the crayon used tu the school, live years. In other words: In 1925 there would be complaint, but it is and 1026 people will be paying for fully considered as wisdom for the books, prices fixed in 1921. There was school corporations to buy the crayon no help for this since tt was a plain and let the taxpayers pay the bill even matter of law and the Board had roth- though the prices goes up And down, ing to do except to obey the law. In the same way it would be the same "(S). The law directs that the Board kind of wisdom to let the school corir. award:" a contract, shall give it poratlons buy the textbooks. There to the company making the lowest and would be littlo hardship even though best bid. There is no way to control the pries of textbooks mitht go up

Every publisher knows that on these books since the bids were in the last few years he has had to pay higher in 1921 than they were in 191S. for paper and labor. The Smt- Board "ri'.:. Practically all school books of Education, in the time of high prices are printed in union shops.
