legislation to alter the method of textbook adoption in Alabama for the 1953 legislature appears likely. The State Board of Education urged more thorough review of offerings after revising The Challenge of Democracy for 12th grade. Dr. Terry cited 14 members must examine up to 2,900 volumes yearly, calling the current 25 day limit impractical. Board usually follows the committee’s nonbinding recommendations.
