( The special "free text book" committee of the board of education held a special meeting in the board rooms lit si night in conjunction with the committee of the signers of the petition lor free school books. Two of the members of the beard 1C of education committee were absent , and no definite stop vv.ts-laken. An informal discussion of tlie matter ensued , however , which . brought N'OU , * ' some interesting points. 1 > Mr. Copeliind , of the .school board com- mitlee 1 , opened the conversation. "I am 1B personally 1 in favor ol adopting Iho free school book system , ; ! have seen several uttorno.vs. : and all of tnoin have e\iressud ] the opinion that tlie step will be a | i"r- fectly ti legal one. . ' Jydgo Lake .said that if i llio state school1 lu\w provided thatthe school board fthould furnish certain things t to the chiUl rein hut did not specify school books , hetulottblod whctlier these school books cotlltl bi5 legally furnislied. But 1 I have cxritiilnod the m.itter and lound 1 that the law docs not 1s 1II specify , "but" "provides that all nccossarv itppll'nc&hiii.v } : bo furnisliud , in whicli category- ' ! think text books might be included. In ( act , the law pro vides that the board shall make up a list of all free books issued during the year , which indicates , I should think , thatthe purchase of Irce books , to a certain ex 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 was no reason why Iho same thing .should nol be done in the city. Mr. Jenkins , of the petition-signers committee , said Ihal Ihe children of t'ie ' 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 , llio poorer the man Ihe larger his famijy and ihe greater his expense in sciidiiitf'Uioni to school Tins was nol a.s it should bo. Tittdoption of the free book svslim would lend lo re move the obstacle to the education of the poorer pcoole. This was done in Penn sylvania , MtissaeluiselUs and Now York city. MU. COXNOVEH 9insTi : < > Nii : > . "I am decidedly in laver of free books"said Mr. Connoyor , the secretary of the board , in answer to a < | ucstion of ' Mr. Cobiirn'.s "Isn't it true that there are less tlniu 0,000 children in this city attending school ? " asked Mr. Cobtirn. "That is about the figure , " returned - Mr. Connoyer. "Isn't il also true that licit is about half the number ol children ot school age in Omaha ? " "Yes.
