Books Georgia Children Will For Five Years. Use The State School Book Commission, after several weeks of hard labor in the careful examination of all books submitted for the purpose has completed its work and selectee uniform set of text books which henceforth, according to the law, will be used by the common schools of Georgia. Some dissatisfaction will of course follow the decision, as many of the parents and patrons disapprove of any change because of the great expense that will attend the adoption of a complete set of new books. , . The Commission, though making quality the first requisite also took into consideration the monetary side of the question. The price of the new books will be from 20 to 30 per cent lower than the cost of the old ones and this means a saving to the people of the state of about $600,000 in the ensuing five years. In the selection of these books the Commission has endeavored to procure and believe that they have adopted the very best and most liberal and yet conservative works on all subjects. No book that reflects in any way upon the South was considered for a moment were those which the sub commission deemed thoroughly worthy ^with admitted for discussion. Below is the list of the books selected, only the prices: Tax Notice.
