Mr. Detrick, from the committee on text- books, made a t oa the following in- quirtes:— iat, “wheter any medication. of be course of study in geography requiring the use of text- books on the ee of the pu- ils can erly be made which should con- ine it within narrower limi 2d,**whether there are text-books now available which contetn in @ single volume, or at most in two Volumes, @ll the matters and things which ought to de contained in a text-book or gecsTapuy;” and 3d, the same question as to arithmetic. To the first question they an- swer that they deem it inadvisable at this Ume to abridge the course of stuty Im geog- rapby, requiring the use of text books. To the teeond they state chat, in their Jndg- ment, the text-books might be reduced to two without detriment to the efficiency of Justruction in the study of geography, and with considerable reduction in expenre to parents, and they give a list of such books. nreply to the third resolution, as to the ccurse of study aud text books in arithme- lic, the committca report that in their opin- jon it is notadvisable to abbreviate the course Of study in that branch, ard they are not —— to advise a reduction in ‘the num- r of text books on that subject now in use in the public schools.
