THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMtND
MENT FOR FREE TEXT BBOKS. i
At (lie last regular tension of tiu
M Midature a const nut lonal amend
mem was Htihmitted to tie voted on
(t the Nuicmbcr election propositi:
an Amendment to Article VII. Section
o (it the State Constitution provldins
for a maximum limit of thirty rive ci ut
tax on lloO for the maintenaix e of th"
public schools of Texas and providing
for fiee text hooks. In the House.
IDS imminent voted for the suhmis-
ion of the amendment and only '."!
members were opposed to tt ; In Ihe
Seiiaie the vote stood 1!" to 4 in favor
nf Mihrnlnsion.
The State IVmot ratir Convention tit
Waco. September 4. 191H. inserted tin-
following plank in the pemonntlc
pliiform: "In view of the fact that a
constitutional amendment pnftlding
for flee textbooks in the pntilir schools
of Texas is to he voted on at the Ren
eral election In November and believ-
ing that free textbooks are an essen-
tial element of any complete free
school system we strongly urge upon ;
the Democrats of Texas the tmpor-
tance of this amendment to the end
that it be adopted as a part r-f our
fundamental law "
The world has stressed In a most
dlrect and conspicuous manner the vat- j
tie of popular education. Men and
women have been aligned for service
according to the extent of their train -
lng. Thla fact has been illustrated In
the training ramps everywhere. Even
mechanics have not been able to
cure grades beyond that of a private
unleaa they fmasessed. at leaat. the
full equivalent of an elementary achwd
training. But while the war la stress-
lng the direct value of education th
lesson will be learned and its appll -
cation will bring still greater returns ; le.iual welfare of the State we ear-.

sufficient books. The constitutional
amendment. If adopted will aeaist In
extending the term and above all. will
provide for all the tools needed for
work.
But why have the State furnish
books? The State has pledged In Its
constitution to provide free school fo
all children for a minimum term of six
months each year. We have a State

the entire Stale Is enhanced. The i
State dies assist in furnishing school

and w hy should tt defeat Its ow n ends
by refusing to complete lite school ma

it is not a good proposition for thei
Stale to rpeud millions of dollars tin-

fall to provide books which are the
essential baaik of Instruction.
