Often where a clerk is unavoidably behind in his, financial affairs and ‘shows a disposition, to ee up again the matter can be satisfactorily settl but where there Is a suspicion that any dishonest motives are connected with the indebtedness the authorities investigate the circumstances, which investigation sometimes, results in a severance of {he oMicial relations of “the clerk. No order has deen tssued on the subject, but Assistant Secretary Coon is determined to take stringent measures, and is intentions are pretty generally understood. The Tesull has been that many clerks are making satis- factory arrangements. ‘The resignation of another clerk in addition to J. B.

He reports having explored the unknown river a distance of 400 miles from {ts mouth without, reaching its headwaters.

Lieut, Stoney has forwarded to the department a written report on his discoveries.

An Official Investigation To-day of the ‘Text-book Question. TRSTIMONY TAKEN BY COMMISSIONER WEST—THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDRSTS AND SEVERAL BOOK- SELLERS EXAMINED—MR. BALLANTYNE DENIES IN- SINUATIONS MADE AGAINST HIM—EVIDRNCE SHOW- ING THAT THE CHANGES W8RE MADR BY A COM- MITTRE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD—A PROPOSITION TO ABOLISH THE BOARD. ‘Ten o'clock this morning was the hour set by Dis- trict Commissioner West for beginning the pro- Posed investigation into recent complaints con- cerning the changes made In the text books in the Public schools. At that hour Superintendents Wil- son and Cook, of the pubile schools; Prof. Butter- fleld, teacher of music in the schpols; Mr. C. B. Rheem, secretary to the school voard; Mr. William Ballantyne, Mr. R. Carter Ballantyne, and Mr.Wm. H. Morrison, stationers; Mr. Henry C. Spencer, Mr. Wm. Pierce Bell, attorney, and other gentlemen were present. ‘THE INFORMATION SOUGHT FOR. ‘When Commissioner West, who conducted the examination, arrived, he stated that the informa- Uon had been sought for from the board of trus- tees, and no satisfactory response had been made. It had, therefore, been decided to seek the informa- tion elsewhere, “The information sought was em- braced under the following heads: First. Precisely what changes, if any, have been made fh the text books of the public sctiools, Second. Who authorized such changes, and what time were they determined upon? ‘Third. Were the changes made tn accordance with the established rules of the board of school trustees, and with the laws governing the pubilc schoo! Fourth. Were such changes advisable, and what Was the pecunlary cost of them, and upon whom Was tt imposed? Fifth. Was the trregularity of the changes merely technical, or was such irregularity reprehensible fand prefidiclal to the interests of the public schools: ‘The examination he would make, Commissioner West said, would be without the formality of an oath, not’ that the Commissioners had not the ower to exact the outh, but in this case did not jeem it necessary, as It Was supposed every one ex- amined would tell the truth. SUPERINTENDENT WILSON EXAMINED, Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, superintendent of the whfte schools of the District, was first questioned. He stated that the studies in the elementary Schools embraced language, mathematics, history, aphy, penmanship, vocal music and drawing. in “mathematics, geozraphy and history no changes whatever have been made, In the study of language the board of school trustees had adopted tlle Franklin series of readers, embraced in seven volumes. Two of these volumes have been abandoned, the 4th and 5th, and revised edi Uons substituted for them. — r.’Wilson described also how changes had been made in the Walter Smith’s gerles of drawing books by a gradual advance, 80 the grades having the first book this year have the second the next, &e. The same Change, he said, had been made'tuls year in the Mason's music reader, so as to introduce the higher reader, In the high school three history primers had been Introduced In ptace of Swinton’s Outline, Mr. Wilson when asked by whom and when such changes were made, read aletter signed by Messrs. B.G. Lovejoy, Win. H. Baum, C. B. Purvis, J. H. Brooks and B. H. Warner, niembers of the Committee on. teachers of the public schools. ‘This letter was dated October 25th, in answer to one from Mr. Wilson. It stated that the commit. | tee did not deem 1t necessary to avail themselves of the permission of the Commissioners, offered through Mr. Wilson, of being present at the inves. Ugation. Neither that committee nor the board of trustees had recelved any information relative to the subject. ‘The committee and board had acted in this matter of changing the text books, and were alone responsible, ‘A CONTRADICTION OF COMMISSIONER WEST. ‘Mr. West stated that this was a contradiction of his assertion that he had sought information from the board. He then referred to a letter sent to Mr. Warner, asking for a report concerning these mat- TS. “In my opinion,” sald Mr. Wilson in toa question, the chinges were advisable, and they Wve not Increased the cost of education in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” “Has not increased the eost of books?” inquired ay igs not ine cost io, Sir.” sald Mr. Wilson. “You must look ahead’in tis matter and not consider the present moment only.” AS to the readers, Mr. Wilson said he had advised the committee that It was very important to have ‘these changes made. ‘THE POINT OF TOE, Upon being asked as to the ume when he knew this change was contemplated, Mr. Wilson said it ‘Was a matter of notoriety that the publishers had been engaged upon the revision for two years. On the 10un of August he had written to Mr. Rheem to notify the bookdealers not to supply themselves ‘with the old readers. He had fnformation from the publishers that the books would be ready and he thought it best to give this notice. While he had known for two years that this revision of the readers Was going ok, the publishers in August sent him a copy of the new Fourth reader,atNantuc- Ket. Mr Wilson wrote to the publishers advising them to send copies to Mr. Warner, president o the School board. He did not apprise Mr. Rheem of Ulls fact, as It Was a matter he had nothing to do With, but wrote to him to aavise bookdealers not to purenase the old readers. THE LAW. ‘Mr. West called attention to the law preseribing that no change In text books should be made except by a two-thirds vote of the board. SECRETARY REEEM EXAMINED. ‘Mr, Rheem, secretary of the board of trustees, was nextexamined, He produced the records of the committee on teachers showing that the change in the readers had been authorized by the comunittee September 8th, and the cl of his- tory text books in the High School Septemnber 27th. ‘Mr, Rheetn was asked concerning a statement in a letter from Mr. Pursell, stationer, that he (Rheem) had notified htin of ‘the change’m readers in August. Mr, Rheem said he had not given Mr. Purseil definite Information at that tme, but had advised him merely of what Was being considered, Mr. West asked questions as to the number of scholars in the fourth or fifth grades, and Mr. Wil- Son Said that 6.000 was a falr estimate. ‘Mr. Wilson stated that a table he had prepared showed that the cost of the text books required by @ pupil for nine years’ tultion tn the schools was $13.29, which was less than It was in 1880. MR, BALLANTYNE EXAMINED. ‘Mr. Wm. Ballantyne, stationer, was next exam- ined. He sald the increased cost of Fourth readers was 6 cents, which was compensated by a reduc- ‘tion of 6 cents in the cost of the Fifth readers. He expl with the assistance of Mr. Robert J. Boyd, his bookkeeper, the method followed in exchanging old readers for the new; 25 cents be- ing allowed for the old Fourth anda for the oid | Futh readers.

In regard to the music books he Kuew nothing of the change until acustomer came in after the Schools Were opened to get one of the new books. ‘The customer said that Mr. Ballantyne had them for sale. Mr. Ballantyne told the withess that he had received @ few coples by mail. Mr. Shillington Sald in regard to the report made by- a detective, which Mr. Baliantyne complained of, that he had been misrepresented. Ite sald they had never been | able to get any ction about text books. They had togo repeatedly, and could not get satistic~ Uon. “His complaint was that the change should be made early in June, 50 that all interested could be notified.

COMMISSIONER WEST BACK TO THE IMPORTANT QUES- TION OF DATES. “I have confidence in those gentlemen,” sald Mr. West, “and do not believe they would recommend apy change that was not right. ‘The question here is where that change originated and who knew it “The committee on text books,” suggested Mr. Wilson. “that every one “The answer 1s,” said Mr. Ws knew of it early'in August, and the committee on text books not until September. But I do not express a definite opinion on the subject now.” ME.

Speaking of the matier, he referred to the law in Webb's Digest, page $21, prescribing that no change should be made In text-books, except by ‘a two-thirds vote of the board. “The evidence so far as See.” sald Mr. West, “is that this change was made by the committee on text-books, On the Sth of September, without any public netics and the board Was not hotified of The change until the 30th of September.
