TEXTBOOK CHANGES Will Be Offered For the Five Year Adoption-The Regulations Made By the Board. The agents cf text-book houses are in the State pressing the claims of their, respective, publications. The wbook" fight," as it is known, re quires thc services of scholarly writ ers and indefatigible workers. The general public has no idea how inter esting this campaign really is It is said that one member of the State board of Georgia received over $75 worth of sample copies of text books. To examine each and every one would be an endless task and the State board perhaps makes selections as much on the' reputation Of the writ ers an? publishing houses as for any other reasons. It is said to be the pol icy of the department of education to make as few changes as possible, ^but to get rid of any. trashy publica tions which might have been adopted in former years. The adoption of books is to cover a period of five years, as is the case in other states. May 22nd was the day fixed for filing bids, and bids will be received from this time until the 22 of June when the board will meet to make adoption?. ' Readers, histories, arithmetics and geographies are thc branches of study on which the hardest fights are made. It is said t hat there will be a hard ef fort made to get the board to adopt the history of the United States writ ten by Mr. Waddy Thompson, of Af ianta, brother of Col. Henry T. ?Thompson of Columbia. This is pub lished by D. C. Heath & Co.. of New York. Another strong effort is being made in behalf of the history of the United States written by the Rev. Henry Alexander White, D. D., ol Ahe Colombia Seminary, and publish ed by Silver, Burdett & Co The board will give careful considera tion lo . these two propositions, but 1 may decide that the books now in use are just as good. The board may not have lime to examine the merits or errors of all text books offered, bul in the matter of selecting histories ?great care will probably be observed. In selecting text books, the first thiug to bc considered is subject mat ter, th?n price and finally relative merit in mechanical excellence with the promise of durability. To those Avhose school ?&ys knew nothing more poetic than Webster's "blue back speller," the beautiful primers of to day would be a revelation. The in genuity of writers and of printers has ;?^.,been taxed to work ont-color schemes which would be in good state and yet would teach children the colors and shades in a way which would make ^ thc entire reading lesson entertaining tis well as instructive.
