State Superintendent of Education s Swearingen issued tonight the follow 3ng statement regarding the special 1 meeting of the State board here to- a 4ay: rE "After a recess .of twenty days, the c< State board of education held a short meeting today in the office of Governor Blease. All members were present it "and much important business was la transacted. P "Mr. F. F. Hough appeared before the board in behalf of the B. F. John- 1: son company, of Richmond. This house o? was offered a contract for basal third, I fourth and fifth readers. These read- c< ers are known as "graded classics," and are extensively used among the independent schools." H The Johnson Company Contract. "The publishing house has not as fet accepted the contract on th'ese three readers, because it could notW meet the 60 per cent. exchange allow ~ances offered by the Wheeler .comn pany, of Chicago, on the high priced primer first anid second readers, of the new basal series, adopted by the board.I Under the new contract the primer sells for 25 cents, the first reader for 25 cents, and the second reader for 35t cents, while in the Johnson graded classics the third reader sells for 32 b cents, the fourth reader for 35 centsg and the fifth reader for 35 cents. "The State treasurer now holds at deposit of $1,000 guaranteeing the abil ity of the B. F. Johnson company to execute whatever contract it might re ceive from the State board.

The s4 ~posit of $1,000 will then be paid intod the State treasury as part of the per- - ~ manent school fund. Unprecedented Situation. "Such a procedure is almost unheard r of in text-book history. One well a known representative of a large pub- a lish'ing house declared .that in his a twelve years' experience he has never e known this,situation to be duplicated, a "The situation is interesting, for the n Stat board may now be called upon to make a new adoption of basal read ers completing the series begun by the Wheler primer and first and second ~ Teaders. "The publishers recommended the R. L. Bryan company, of oulCimba c R. L. Bryan company, of Columbia, to' b manage the central text-book deposi- a tory, and this recommendation was ap- E a proved. The State board also adopted c the treatise On advanced English syn~ F tax, by Prof. E. B. Setzier, of Newberry college, for use in the eleventh grade of the high schools; the Gildersleeve ~odge Latin grammar and Myers short a history of mediaeval and modern 2 times. . s "The controversy concerning Waddy hompson's history was adjusted to 0 the satisfaction of all parties. The c language to which objection has been a made now stands "the route of the n army was marked by the destruction c of property. Columbia, the capital of 9J the State, was laid in ashes." This sentence was modified, and as accept 'ed, reads as follows: "The army a marked its route by the destruction of ~ property and laid Columbia, the capi- t ta fthe State, in ashes." ta fAnnouncements Soon.
