It used tobe that you yot one aus theptic, well-written history for a text book and learned the principal events in the life of the country you were studying placed in their proper order and written with some degree | of intelligent simplicity. Now the | children have to buy an outline book, filled with diagrams and references and involved questions, then supple- ment it with somebody’s history, the less known, apparently, the bet er, in which can be found a few facts bear- ing on the diagram and references and involved questions. Then papa goes vut and buys or borrows two or three more histories by different authors, more or less obscure and more or less inaccurate, and attempts tu help little brother or sister secure some idea of the history of their own country, for instance. Then when iv desperation you turn to the up-to- date history in’ the library, you find that it deesn’t come within thirty- five years aud seven months of fiting | into the diagram and references and questions, although you know from your personal recollections of the past forty years that this particular history is standard authority. And ever and anon the conclusion is forced upon you with irresistible force that the party directly guilty of the pres- ent crazy-quilt methods of instriec- tion is the rapacious book trust that used to be content with inveigling school boards into changing text books every two years, but has now; evolved the much more profitable schemes of so arranging courses of study that you have to buy all of the text books printed all of the time.— Ralph Wheelock in Minneapolis Tri- buae. a Blood’s Zulu Black Carriage Paint, for buggies, carriages, chairs, etc., is recommended by W.
