have to either give up his pet
project, have two classes in
the same grade and study or
fail to do his duty toward
some of his pupils.
What is for the benefit of
his patrons should be the
chief desire of every teacher.
With this idea in view sad
the knowledge of the great
benefit to accrue to the pa-
trons, I can see no reason
why a live, wide-awake teach-
er should not favor the state
adopting text books.
If a teacher is well versed
in the subject he is called up-
on to teach, what need he
care whether the text was
published by Swinton, Ap-
pleton or Barnes. The text
books are merely outlines of
the subjects for the use of

is oral, his outline may as well
be Appleton’s as the Eclec-
tic, or Cornell’s as Swinton’s.
The great benefit to the
teacher is that he will never
have two different kinds of
text books on the same sub-

the same grade. This is, it

ver too much of selfishness.
They claim that text books
are eontinually changing and
that if a better work (accord-
ing to their ideas) is publish-
ed on any subject, then they
ought to have the privilege
of introducing it iato the
schools over the county and
of teaching aeeordisg to its
suggested method. This, we
will admit, is very nice for
the tacher. But, for exam-
ple, suppose a teacher is an
admirer of Barnes’ grammars
and introduces them into the
schools over the county wher- i
ever he teaches. Now, aup-
pose some other, an admit er i
of Reed & Kellogg gram-
mars, follows him in a year
or two teaching in same dis-
tricts. He has the same pri-

। the patrons is in the price
they pay, it is rather iu the
sumber bought. Wise coun-
ty has a large floating popu-
lation, families moving into or
from the county, and to dif-
terent districts in the county.
Every move coate a family a
new set of books or at least
a partial set. Should the
county adopt a series of booke
for the use of its own schools,
part of the difliculty would be
obviated. These moving in-
to or out of the county would
still be unbenefited. State
uniformity alone would meet
all the requirements.
