Tlie special "free text book" committee of ( lie board of education hold a special meeting in the board rooms last night in conjunction with the committee of ( lie signers of tlio petition for free school books. Two of the members of the board of education committee were absent , and no definite step vvnS-lakon. An informal discussion of the matter ensued , however , which brought li'out ' ; ' some interesting points. . > Mr. Copeland , of the school board com mittee , oncncd the cmivor.sation. "I am personally in favor ol adopting the free school book S3'stem.I ; have seen several attorneys , and all of tliein have expressed the opinion that the step will be a p'-r- feclly legal one. . ' Jydgo Lake said that if the state school1 la\w provided thattho school board flhould furnish certain Ihiugs to tlm chiUlreinbut did not specify school books , he doubled whether these school books coilld bi $ legally Inrnislied. Hut 1 have c.xituiinbd the m.itter and found that the law does not so specify , "butr.'prpvidcs that all necessary ajipliit'jicifcpua.v bo furnished , in which category. * 1 ifiiuk textbooks might be included , In tact , the law pro- viile.s that the board shull make up a list of all free books issued during the year , which indicates , I should think , that the purchase of tree books , to a certain extent - tent at least , was contemplated by the law. " Mr. Coburn suggested that free school books were supplied in some of the coun try districts , and there wits no reason why the same thing should not bo done in l lie city. Mr. Jenkins , of the petition-signers committee , said that the cluldivn ol 1'ic ' poorer class of people did ii'il attend school as much as they should , because their parents cannot stand the attendant expense. As a rule , the poorer the man the larger his faniijy : ind the greater his expense in scnding'lhem to school This was not as it should bo. The idoplion of the free book svslim would tend to re move the obstacle to the education of the poorer peoule. This was done in Penn sylvania , Massachusetts ami New York city. MK. coNNOVKit QIISTIONII : : > "I am decidedly in tavor of free books"said Mr. Connoyer , the secretary of the board , in answer to a question ot Mr. Coburn ' .H "Isn't it true that there are less thnu 0,000 children in this oily attending school ? " asked Mr. Cobiirn. "That is about the tigurc , " returned Mr. Connoyer. "Isn't it also true that tint is about half the number ot children ol school age in Omaha ? " "Yes. " "Is it fair to suppose that the other half are going to tiio private schools of theeitv ? " "No ; certainly not. " ; "Now , don't yon believe that these children , now out of fcchool on this ac count , would attend seiiool if Ircu school bookn were given them t Don't 3011 think that tliu parents would make an extra olliirt to furnish the children with clothes , und otherwise get them in con dition lo utten-l school if they Were assured tiial ( hero would bo no expense on the score of books' ' Many .1 man in the city who is earning , asou . might say , a daih pittance , cannot allord to send his children to school on account of the cost of books , and is too proud to allow ihcm lo bo dependent on the cit.\ . .So far as concerns the objection that tins adoption lo the new book H.\stcm would tosler the lecling"tf ) "romimm.sni , on the same principle tree schools ought lo lus ter that feeling.
