Old aoldiera who need to lie taken
care of may want to he taken care
of in that way, hut we doubt it.
When we read of a bill being
introduced in the Legislature to
furnish free school books to poor
children, we thought the hill a
had one; it seemed enough to
furnish the school free without
fill niching the hooks free also.
But since learning that there are
children right here in Lancaster
count v who cannot go to school
because their parents cannot buy
the bowks for them we are not so
sure about the bi'l being as had
as we thought it was. The hooks
are not to he given to the scholars,
hut loaned. As only 5 per cent,
of the school funds could he used
for this purpose, with a set of
good trustees there would not he
much Danger of the law being
abused.
State Supt/ of Education licMahan
suggests that whatever
sum the dispensary earns fer the
counties and towns he applied to
the support of their respective
schools. This, he says, would
meet the cry, keep the money at
home, and would also meet the
demand of thoughtful ntcn for the
host possible us* of the dispensary
money, and would tend largely
to meet the demand of all
patriotic people for hotter schools
in town and country. He further
suggests that if at present the
L*gi-1 tiure in unwilling to take
this step in its entirety, tha leant
that should l>e done is to provide
that half the town's share shall go
to the town school and half of the
county's share shall go to the
county school*. With this last
suggestion especially we most
heartily agree, and hope that a
bill to carry it out will he introduced
and passed at once.
Text Hooks for the Poor.
Mr. Lomax's bill to provide
fieo text hooks for poor children
was then taken up. and Mr. Ruck

thought the hill n well conceived
ineaMiie. It. was provided that
not over five per cant, should he
invested in any one year f >r school
book*.aud the books are to remain
the property of tho school trustees.
Mr. Ashley thought the bill was
right and ought to pats.
Mr. Lornax said ho was familar
with tho school situation ef today
and he held that ihe hill was en
the right line. His whole purpose
was to help the public
schools. Last year he proposed
to the trustees #f his scboel that j
they would buy books and lean 1
them to the children and the re-1
suit was that every school child
iu the district at tended the schools.
Mr. Webb said he was the
friend of the poor children. Hi's
sympathies went out to the poor
children. The bill forces the
I *
hildren to take an oath that they
i ? *
were unable to buy hooka.
Mr. Ashley and Mr Lnmax
insisted that no oath was required
The heat thing wan to intprevethe
schools and get theiu en a cash
basis. Book* are now very cheap
Mr F. H. McManttir favored
the hill with a strong s|>eech. The
bill was then ordered to its third

The bill for the soldiers' home
