(THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

WILLIAMS EXPLAINS WHY STATE BOARD MADESELECTION OF CERTAIN BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS

'" C. O. Williams, member of the state board of education, completed the report today which he will present to the committee of the general assembly, which is investigating the letting of contracts for school books by the state board recently. The report which he will make follows : ' "Because of the difficulty encountered in obtaining text books, the board of education at its last adoption more than a year and a half ago passed a resolution that in any year in which books were to be adopted, that the adoption should take place 'The first Tuesday after the first Monday in January of that year.' In keeping with this the board advertised for bids as required by law in December, 1920, for the purpose of swarding contracts J January 4, 1921. Bids were received for furnishing spellers, physiology. United States history, geography, domestic science and industrial arts texts for the next five years. "At the December meeting the board postponed the adoption until Feb. 1, 1921, for the purpose of giving the general assembly an opportunity to present any legislation affecting school book adoptions they desired. No interest was taken in plans effecting adoption. Recites Opinion. "On Feb. 1, the board having been served with a written notice a week previous to meet and To adopt text books,' met for that purpose. Super-! intendent L. N. Hines then announced to the board that he had consulted the attorney general about the adoption and-ave the following opinions: "(a) 'The present holders of contracts could not continue to hold contracts. The contracts were for a five year period and now expired.' "(b) 'The legislature had no power to extend the contracts. "(c) 'The board has no option; it shall adopt books.' "Mr. Hines stated that books would have to be adopted soon, so as to have

mem reaoy ror next scnooj year, butler price. Most of our old texts were thought it might be delayed one books no other state could or would

month. He recommended that the board reject all bids and readoptions and award contracts March 1. "The proposal to delay only one month did not appeal to the members as of much value as to prices. Several members opposed his suggestion. On roll call two members supported Mr. Hines, ten opposed his month's delay. New Books Needed. "This should be borne in mind we had no contracts. We were bver one hundred thousand books short last year. AH of the old books were offered for readoption, but at an increased price over the price five years ago. The following table tells the story. The column marked "Old Prices" is (1916) Old Price Physiology $ .55 History 80 Elem. Geography 40 Adv. Geography 80 Elem. Language , 25 Adv. Language 45 Speller 15 $3.40

:402,086 Total cost more than the old books Total cost per pupil the 1916 contract which had expired and could not be used, as no company offered any such prices. The column marked 'New Price Old Books' is the price of the old book and the cost if we had adopted the old texts. The column marked 'New Books' is the price of the book adopted and by comparison it is noticeable that the price on some books was less than the old books. The column marked 'Highest Price Book Offered' would have been the result if the board had selected the book offered in each class. "By table No. 1 this is the conclusion, if the board had re-adopted the old text books and a patron should have bought a set it would have cost $6.01 and to buy a set of the texts adopted will cost $6.17. "The second table illustrates what the books will cost the children of the state, if each child in the grades effected buys a new book next term. "There are 402.086 to - enter these grades, and if the board had adopted the old books at the price offered, it would cost $337,477.60. and the new books would cost $346,344.96, that is. if all the pupils buy the new books, it will be at an advance of $8,867.36 over the old books, or two cents per pupil for 402,086 pupils. "The Spelling Book Story." "The speller used for the last five years was "a special Indiana edition, TEXAS AIRMEN START SEARCH FOR AVIATOR EL. PASO, Texas, Feb. 12. Army planes from every station in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, were to leave Fort . Bliss at dawu today to search for Lieutenant Alexander Pearson, who has been missing since he left here Thursday 10 a. m. Wireless and telephone messages have been sent to all stations and postmasters along the route between El Paso and Houston, a distance of 800 miles, in an effort to locate the missing pilot, who expected to land at Houston late Thursday. A new crank shaft was fitted in Pearson's machine at Columbus. N. M-, 90 miles west of here on Tuesday, and officers at Fort Bliss express the fear that bearings may have run hot and caused a sudden and possibly disastrous landing at some remote place in the sparsely settled country of west Texas. Lieutenant Pearson, when he left here, was enroute to Pablo Beach, Fla., from which point he was to make a transcontinental flight to San Diego, Calif., in an effort to establish a record for the flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He expressed the opinion the flight could be made in less than 24 hours.

made to Bell cheap, and not used in other states. This company published a standard book, and had state adoptions for the &ame, but it is much superior to the one we use and sells for 36 cents per copy, while the Indiana special edition sold for 15 cents per copy. This company appeared before the board some months ago, and under sworn statements, informed the board that this book that sells for 15 cents, cost the company 26 cents to make, and asked to be released from their contract. The board was advised that they could not cancel their contract and would be compelled to hold them to their bond to furnish 41....... 1 1 i -

asked that thev be allowed to nlace' four pages of advertisements in their books and in this way make tip their loses. The board did not grant this. "The company then printed, so I am Informed, 20,000 books, and then, for some reason the book company decided to ignore the board and did print and distribute perhaps 20,000 books with advertisements in the spellers. This created for a few weeks quite a stir among members of the board, as to where they got their authority. Apparently the disturbance had its effect upon the company and then it did not furnish us books at all. It is fair to say that 100,000 children were ,1 : .. j , . iv... lurjjiivt-u ui new speiiers Because uiej were not obtainable. I am informed that there is no shortage of spellers in fctates where this company had adoption at. the high price. Now when they offered this book to us at 32 cents, the board preferred a standard speller and adopted one at 30 cents. Standard Texts. The law of Indiana require a book

The boys and girls of our own state are compelled to use books, some of which the company have discarded except to sell to Indiana. The board decided to ' adopt the standard texts, thereby securing for our children as good a book as used in other states and the reduced prices, and this accounts lor the new text books being adopted. The present geography used in Indiana, well illustrates this point. Method Used. "I had 20 prominent city and countysuperintendents to make a survey of ! ih toTto in nao Qn,i a,ivco mo r,f i
