It is hoped this movement will do much toward removing infidelity, scepticism and materialism, which is shrouding so many minds in darkness and gloom. Jennette Hardinq. State Normal School. Peru, Neb., Sep. 25th, 1SG9. Friend Church : Permit me through your columns to tender the thanks of the faculty of the Normal School to the publishers of Worcester's Diction aries for the valuable present of a copy of the large quarto ; also for three doz. copies of Hilliard'8 Fifth Readers, for the uso of the Normal class, and a number of Worcester's Comprehen sive Lexicons, at half price to teach ers. The Normal School received, at the commencment of the present term, a very liberal donation from the firm of A. S. Barnes & Co., iu the shape of school books. That firm has mani fested a spirit of liberality toward us truly praiseworthy. They have given not less than $200 worth of school books to our institution. Wo think if other publishing houses maifested the same spirit our Normal School will have advantages here, valuable indeed. We hope to receive copies of all the book3 recommended by our State Su- pcrintendant,for,if those books are go ing into general use in the State, our students should form their acquaint ance lere. Our school is moving forward very pleasantly with constant accessions to our numbers. There are about 50 pupils pursuing the regular graduating course. A few more gentlemen can be Sup plied with rooms in the building ; the lady's hall is filled. J. M. McKenzie. The School Book question. Mr. Editor. I have been a care ful reader of what has been written on this subject, and will, with your con sent add a few words. First , The State proposes a system of Education. Of this system the State University, the Normal School, and every district school should con stitute a part. Sedoud, "In order to carry out any system it is necessary that tho text books used should conform to the sys tem. Third, To produce the uniformity which is hero implied, there must be some authority to define the text books used, and to designate the system. ' By our School law it has been made the duty, not of Boards of Edu cation, County Sup'ts, Teachers, Par ents or Pupils to define these Books, but of the State Superintendent. The real question of issue is, shall we recognize the authorities of law or not? If we reject the recomendation of the State Sup't we have no other authority, and any pupil may take any book he pleases, and School Director or Teacher is powerless to forbid its use. The rejection of the list, it seems to me, establishes a bad precedent. The plea for its rejection is that Mr. Deals is an appointee. He Is the only real authority. An elected officer could be invested with no higher power in this respect than he, and the teacher who pleads for the violation of the law, is not the person to whom ought to be entrusted the Education of the children of the commonwealth.

' ' From our Special Correspondent. Chicago, September 20, 1SCC. The various tectioiu of the "C'ori mercial Farty" which recently vJIU-J California, are collecting for abi-jtinicr to-morrow. The Californians did not eerve out their fruit and wine and make such a grand time of it without having Iu their ri-ir-tL-i the return watch. We ex pect to see t !. m to-morrow, and do all in our power to render their visit a pleasant one. Commit tees of reception and management have been appointed, and will be on hand to do their duty. The visit cf our California friends will probably bo the event of tho week as the various conventions and associations have con cluded their sittings. The Episcopal ian Convention for the Diocese of Illi nois was in session nearly all last week. Tho number and highstandiug of the delegates, and the Interest they repre sented rendered the gathering a very important one. Considerable time was spent in bemoaning tho recent events that have happened ia the Church, and listening to the com plaints of Bishop Whitehouse, but 011 the whole the Convention was satis factory and dispatched cc.r,sider:-ij'o business. Our city and county elections aro promising to be almo.-t inextricubio " combinations. The Democratic party appears to bo desirous of uniting with the strongest of the dissentimr factions of.the Republican party. Quito a num ber of prominent men refused to join iu tho Republican Convention, but when tho "People's Party" (as it wan called) assembled a number of second rate politicians composed the meeting. It is impossible to predict tho result, but lively times are expected. The exercises of our trotting park arc being somewLat varied from tho usual contests, and as a consequence more enjoyable, a great trotting mat inert came oil' on Saturday hist, in which the fast horses of the gentlemen In the city were exhibited tc admir ing crowds. Notwithstanding tho hot weather the business of the city is at its height. The great arrivals are immense" and all other departments of busines are nourishing. Hotel proprietors have noenclination to take permanent boar-' ders as the merchants and business men from all parts of the We;t keep the hotels crowded at day prices, a. socially interesting features cf the trade thi3 Fall is the presence of a largo, number of heavy dealers who former ly went to New York. This is a sign of progres, and one that promises well for the future. The south eide park bill finally received the sanction of the Supreme Court and declared to bo constitutional. Real estate has taken a bound within the past few days, ev enybody now appearing anxious to se cure a residence-lot. Tho bonds are issued and tho-commissioncrs proceed ing with tho work. The question of "corners" still agi tates our Board of Trade, it being up- ' pearcntly difficult, to. decide when there i-i a com jr on any article. Bar ly is the comodity List in dispute and after an Invttigation it was declared to be cornered. ... Notwithstanding the competition In business In this 'city, a thorough knowledge of what a man attempts soon manifests itself in success and popularity. There Is not a better ex ample of this truism than the jewelry House of Messrs. Muse, Rod.k ;i, Ham ilton, on the N. ii. cor. of -La'.co and Clark streets. Satisfactory dealing U the secret of the extensive patronage of this House. Being thoroughly post ed in every department of their halo, their stock is well Kelecttd and their manufacturing facilities are complete. The collection of gold and silver jew elry and diamonds hero exhibited ia well wo.t'iy a visit of i;i.-ection. Richness is written on every article aud beauty is equally prominent. TIktc i a fine collection of solid and plated silver ware and everything that would be looked for in such an estab lishment. Tho popularity and suc cess of Messrs. Mose, lloddon & Ham ilton, is beyond doubt. Tho Text Booli Question. Having recently conversed with Superintendent of public Instruction, and learned something of his general plan, allow me to say he impresses, ine as a good man for the place. IIo " ha3 a system well defined an-.h well chosen, and in selecting school books he has sought to meet tho necessities of that s.Vbtem. I think, however, ho his made some mistakes. His list maybe the very best that could bo made out but there is this otjc tion to it, that'it is almost entirely new and requires h larjo expenditure by tho parents of the State in substituting the new for the oM. Would It not have been well for Mr. Beals to have consulted more widely the friends cf education in the Stale ? - By calling together county Superintendents and leading teachers and friends of educa tion, and laying his plan before them, and ascertaining their vlewa and wishes, a lit might have been selected that would have secured universal ac ceptance. Even if the law docs give the Superintendent thejowerto de fine text book3 wouM not such a course have been wise? Would not such a consultation, even now, be a means of securing what will not oth erwise" be secured, uniformity as to' text books ? Mr. Beals docs not w ish to attempt impossibilities nor imprac ticabilities. He is an earnest friend of general education. He would rath er modify his special action than ivo-' up what he is conscious to be tho Let general plan. -Itinof great importance; that the Stato have one list o tt;xfc books. 'But in this country- Wo aro so jealous of one man's power no law can enable an individual to introduce such a Bit against matured judgemunt of many of the most carnost friends of common schools. It U a serious mat ter to retain uniformity at the lest,, and it can only be done by cnlLing tho hearty sympathy of all the Waging friends of such reform. W ciU tc satisfied that tho best list j-j aUmt to. be adopted or present ch.-m-rw will bo called for. Now if Mr. BcaU Jim mado out tlie K-st lLt I waU to know it au J I vant to jvAu hirri i n pie?ir.i; it upon, the 'acceptance of our people.
