Great Diversity of Text-Books. In the Public Schools of Onturio there were on the 31st of December 1875 ^i^ aiithorized textbooks, in the 24 subjects in the Public School course, and on Ihe Sls't of December, 1883, 53 authorized text-books covering 15 different subjects of study In some subjects the number was so great as to be confusing to pupils and parents For instance there were authorized in Grammar, 11 text-books; Arithmetic, 4 text-books • Geography, 9 text-books ; History, 5 text-books. ' Owing to the constant changes of teachers and the capriciousness of many members of the profession in regard to text-books, one geography or grammar was often set aside and another introduced into the school without any substantial educational benefit to the pupils. In order to prevent these changes, the School Act was amended in 1881 placing the following restriction upon the change of text-books : ' t^,!'/"^! aiithomed text-book in actual use in any Public or Model School may be cliamred hv the teacher of Huch «ch.)ol for any other autiiori/ed text-book in the same subject on tlie written fnnrnval^f the trustees and the Inspector, provided always such chanjfe is made at the beKinnfn^ of rscffi t^rm and at least six montlis after such approval has been given." (14 V. c. 30, 8/12?) As this did not fully prevent unnecessary changes of text-books it was decided toi reduce the list to one text-book in each subject in the Public School Course of Study and thus render all change impossible except as the Department might deem expedient This condition was practically brought about by an Order of the Education Donart ment, September 21, 1887.

It is, however, with regard to the first four forms of the Public Schools that chan^f ^ Averafr* in text-books are most serious. In 1888 the number of pupils in these forms wa '' 453,893, and in the fifth form only 10,307. In considering the authorization of tex books, therefore, the effect upon the school can only be estimated by considering tli number of pupils required to use them. The advantage of a reduction of text-books i these forms, owing to the movement of population in the country, is self evident. Tl following statement shows the changes in this respect : — th Ontari( Average bod with (j Number of text-books authorized in first four forms of Common Schools, 31st December, 1867 on the classification of schools existing at present) 14 Number of text-books authorized, 31st December, 1876 18 Number of text-books authorized, 31st December, 1883 17 Number of text-books authorized, 31st December, 1889 9 Average ed with Average •ed with C Average npared wi( The list now in force simply allows one text-book in each subject, and therefore an movement of the pupils from one school to another will not entail additional expens for text-books upon their parents or guardians.

Sir,— "I have the honor to state that the Council of Public Instruction for this Province, which, some years ago, sanctioned your Outlines of British and of General History for use in our schools, have recently had their attention directed to the necessity for some revision of the work in order that objections which had been taken miijht be removed. A Committee have, therefore, been engaged in suggesting the alterations needed in order that the most serious of those objections should be met. The Committee have reported, and their report has been adopted by the Council. 1 am now desired to transmit to you copies of the works with the emendations marked. These are accordingly sent herewith. At the same time I send a copy of a resolution adopted on the subject by the Committee which had the revision in charge." „, „ (Signed) E. Ryersox. W. F.

School Grammir.-T\ie capital account on this book is as yet unrealized by the publisher, and the profit on estimated future sales after the capital account hw been wiped out will not be excessive, and the retail price cannot be redu<»d. 46 The Ilif/h School Geography. — The publishers realize on the sale of this book a very fair profit, but not in our judgment an excessive one so as to call for a reduction of the retail price, the more especially as on some of the books of their authorized series a loss is being sustained by them. The Orthoepist. — The profit on this book is merely nominal to the publishers, and is. far from being excessive. The retail price should not be reduced. Elements of Algebra.— One-thhd only of the capital account has as yet been realized by the publishers and upon estimated sales for the next three years at the end of that time it will not be wiped out. This shows that the book is being published without profit, and that the retail price might be increased and not reduced. Bue's First French Book. — This book is being published at a loss to the publisher. Price is therefore not excessive. Williams' Composition and Practical English. — The publisher's profit on this book is fair, but not excessive, and does not call for any reduction in the retail price. 2nd. As to the books published by the Methodist Publishing Company we find award and determine as follows : — McGiiirl's P. and G. Draiving has so far been published without any profit, as the capital account is not yet nearly realized, and at the estimated sales for next three years it will not then be realized. Profit therefore not excessive, and retail price might be increased rather than reduced. High School Algebra. — The capital account is not nearly as yet realized, and at esti- mated sales will not be fully realized at end of next three years. This shows profit not- excessive, and that retail price should not be reduced, but if anything increased. 3rd. As to the books published by the Grip Publishing Company we find, award and determine as follows : — The High School Drawing Course has been so far published at a large profit to the publishers. The capital account has been extinguished and a fair profit besides returned to the publisher, and in the future the profit will be excessive on estimated sales. The retail price of this book as now established should therefore be reduced to fifteen cents, which would yield a fair and reasonable profit to the publisher. Public School Temperance. — The capital account of this book has not been realized and at estimated sales will not be realized at end of three years. The profit is clearly not excessive, as there will be a loss on the book at end of three years. The English price of this book is two shillings sterling, and the publishers ask that retail price be increased, which request we think may fairly be granted. 4th. As to the books published by the Rose Publishing Company, we find, award and determine as follows : McElroy's Structure of Englith Prose.— This book is imported in sheets. No capital account. The profit on 1,000 copies is only $10.50. The profit is not excessive. The- American price of this book is $1.75 as against $1.00 the Canadian authorized price. Allan (k Greenough'a Latin Grammar. — The facts are the same as in the case of the last named book. The profit is not excessive, price being $1.00 as against $1.75, the American price. Goodwin's Greek Grammar. — This book is also imported in sheets. No capital account. The publishers have so far published without any profit. The American retail price is |2.25 per copy against $1.25 Canadian authorized price. We think the Depart- ment would be justified in increasing the price of this book. Leighton's First Steps in Latin and White's First Lessons in Greek. — These are also imported in sheets. So far it has been published here at a loss. The profit is therefore not excessive. The American price is $1.75 retail against $1.00, the Canadian authorized price. The Department might fairly increase the price of these books. book a very ction of the ries a loss is ahers, and is leen realized end of that hed without 16 publisher. this book is my we find rotit, as the ; three years 36 might be and at esti- vs profit not id. , award and )rofit to the les returned sales.
