Professor 0’Connor Sees Two Sides to the Discussion. | Professor Joseph O'Connor, principal | of the Mission High School, and one of the oldest and best known educators in | the State, was very reticent regarding the textbook question. He stated that he was hardly prepared to take a stand on either side of the question, but intimated that, afier a long and careful study of the situation, he is of the opinion that | free textbooks should be supplied to the | pupils of our public schools. | “This question is one that admits of a | great deal of argument and comment,” | sald Mr. O'Connor, “and I do not care | 10 be quoted as taking a stand either for | or against the free textbook.

W. H. Edwards, principal of the Crocker | Grammar School, made the following | statement: *“With reference to the ques- | tion of free textbooks, which seems to be agitating educators, parents and legisla- | tors, I wish first to ¢ay that in thy opin- | fon it is not so much a question of free textbooks as it is a question of introduc- | ing good _textbooks into the public schools | of this State. The miserable makeshifts | prepared by incompetent hands at so much a line is the poison of the educa- tional system of California. “Now had we good textbooks, historie: | grammars, arithmetics, geographies, rea ers and spellers, up to date and logically and truthfully arranged, I should even then be opposed to the State's furnishing them free to pupils, for the reasons that | what a pupil gets gratls he prizes not. | 1t would annihilate the pride of ownership and it would encourage the destruction | of the books furnished. The pupil would have nothing to carry away as a memen- | to of his happy school days, nothing to turn to as a reference for things forgot- ten, nothing to build upon for self-ad- vancement and education. . “It would cause unhappy distingtions | and bickerings among the children. The children of wealthy parents would insist | upon their right to purchase their own new books in preference to taking those which might have passed through vari- ous hands, bearing with them and on them the shine and filth of age. The poor would feel the humiliation ana deg- radation of being forced by poverty and the law.to use books which their more fortunate classmates could and would es- cape. “The expense to the State would be ap- palling and would necessarily and surely provoke the cry of ‘too much expense for school purposes,’ and as usual the modern scientific discovery, but the success which it has achieved, and the obvious truth and scientific. importance of its methods and discoveries are making converts of evem the most skeptical, and are adding hundreds daily to the number of its multitude of friends. The question of most vital interest to every sick and afflicted person is where they can secure the most speedy relief and permanent cure. Theanswer to this in every case is at the Electro-Chemic Institute. The reason for this is obvious. >caus e bines in itself all that is modern and best in every system of medicine. together with the application of the latest and most important d tricity in its‘relation to the human body. It is because its staff of ph inal thought and research and themselves the discoverers of many important scientific and self-evident truths. What the Electro-Chemic Institute has done for others it can do for you. That it can and does cure, speedily and permanently, almost al! forms of disease, ailments both acute and chronic, many of whieh were regarded as hopeless and some of which were, before the discovery of this system, regard- ed as incurable, is absolutely shown and proved by the thousands of unsolicited testimonials on file at the institute. These testimonials cover a wide field and embrace almost every ill to which human flesh is heir. efited; I was quickly cured.” Many of these testimonials have been already published. may be interested. All are open to the inspection of those who Not one of them ha. ever been questioned or denied. They tell a plain, unvarnished tale of gratitude and hold out a message of hope to many who are now hopeless and of relief to those who are at present torn by pain and suffering.

Sev- eral years ago I became consclous of a lump growing in my left breast. From the beginning of the growth my general health began to decline and at last I was compelled to consult a physician regarding my condition. 1 was examined by two physicians and both informed me that it would be necessary for me to undergo_a surgical operation for a removal of the lump. In my weakened state I felt that 1 could not stand the shock of surgery and refused in both in- stances to undergo the surgical treatment.® heard of the Electro-Chemic X-Ray Treatment and decided to go to the Electro-Chemic Institute for a thorough ex- amination. On July 16 I was examined by the Electro-Chemic X-Ray. The examination revealed a cancerous condition and I was advised by the Electro- Chemic Speclalists to undergo their X-Ray Treatment. I decided to do so and began it at once. My general health began to improve from the very first and in a very few days the lump began to reduce in size. All pain from the cancer was soon controlled and after forty-five treatments all cancerous tissue was destroyed, and I feel that I have been thouroughly cured. and by Electro-Chem- istry saved the necessity of the trying ordeal of a surgical operation. It gives me pleasure to recommend the Eiectro-Chemic Institute’s treatment to others, for I am sure it is successful even in cases that surgery will not cure. (8igned.) MRS. MARINDA J.
