The presidents of the different boards of education met at the court house last Tuesday evening to discuss adopting a uniform five year series of textbooks. Despite bad weather, attendance was large and interest high as McGuffrey Ray and Venacio spellers readers arithmetics and history were favored. Wiesel Mennin & Co of Cincinnati and New York publish the approved works, praised for quality and reliability. The new law aims to standardize books for a set period, reducing costs and teacher shifts. Parents welcome fewer compelled book replacements, while scholars gain time to learn merits and demerits before changing texts. John P. Foley notes the Washington Nation concerns illustrate broader issues.
