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.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER. '
i 1 r. ' '
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;

I have prejudices ?.gaint sune of 'his.
books and ia fvor ?mie he h-.n left
offhls list,. I would net uttur a word
to hiriur-rhira iua much needed re
form Did I rtcfc believe a candid dis
cussion would lead to a happy conclu--i
elusion, I would be silent. I want to

and his work.
