Editorial on Local Textbook Control in Kansas
An Ottawa Herald reader letter from August 28, 1960 argues for local control of school textbooks after the state halted statewide adoptions in 1957. The letter notes prior five year state adoption periods, local district authority, and concerns about price and necessity of new readers as older editions expire through 1962. It praises private enterprise and local choice while urging checks that changes truly benefit pupils.
