SCHOOL READERS.
Two series Authorized by the Educaticia
Department -Bensons for Adopting
this Coarse.
As far back as January, 1882, the Minister
of Education announced' by departmental
ter:inler that the old series of'Readers
would soon bewithdrawn from the schools
of the'Peovinge, and that "one or more
new eeties " would probably, be selected
for authorization from ateongst thope then
known to be in preparation. He amioneced
at the same time that "any change -of text-
books must be gradual," and ' that -no
ie:W
teacher would .be 'permitted tae a
change "unless with the writtehr aPproval
of the School Board, andePtiblice Scheel
Inspector, and aleci, with, the" eanction of
the Minister, ", and only then after "the full
period of six monthe hadelapsed. During
1882 three series were submitted for ap-
proval and were referred to the Central
Committee of the Deeartment for their
opinion. The following extracts front. the
report Of the' Chairmen, Prof. Young, will
explain the principal grounds on. which the
final action of the Department arid the
Acting Minister was based:
"I have the honor to report that, in
•bonapliance with your request, the' Central
Comnaitteelaitve examined the three sets
of Readers -the Royal Readers '(Thomas
Nelson, James Campbell \& Son), the Cana -
ditto Readers ..(W. J. Gage & Co.), and the
Royal Canadian Readers (Canada Publish-
ing Company). . ,
"The members Of the' coninaittee\ who
were present agree in thinking that the
two first mentioned are the best. In' lite- .
eery 'excellence the series of Nelson,
Campbell tee Son. stand first. The earlier
books of Gage's series, have the advantage
�f greater simplicity. The -Royal Canadian
Readers, issued by the Canada Publishing
Company, form also a, meritorioui3 series,
'though they are not on a par with the ether
- s' As to the question whether more than
one setof Readers should be sanctioned,
the Committee recommend the authoriza-
tion of two \sets -the. Royal Readers and',
the,CanadiertReadees. Thisewill no doubt
in many cases entail On children passing
from one school to another the necessity of
.providing themselves with new ,reading
-books, an objection Of much 'weight. 'But,
on the other hand, if 'only one series were
authorized the Government and the public
would to.a laige extent be in the hands of
the publishing company that had been' for-
tunate enough to secure the Monopoly.
Whatever understanding Might be come to
about orioles before the autherizationof any
of the Readers, it would practically be found
alrnote impossible, with only one company
in the.,field; to fix and keep prices • at any-.
thing like the point' to which they. would
naturally fail if mcinopoly did \ not exist;
and -the aggregate loss arising from high
prices would be incomparably _greater,
ethosigh-teepigh t-be-lees--beerden sena e -to
dividiettle through being more distributed,
than that which would result' f rote the pur-'
chasing of double sets Of school books by a
limited autaber of parents. • •
"One member of tee_ Conamittee; who
was enable- td be Present, -expressed, in a
letter to the Chairman the opinion that all'
alinetheree safs-of Bidders 'Submitted to 'the-
eommittee should be authorized; and he
• added that if only one 'see were,. authorized'
he would give the- preference\ to the Royal
Canadian Readers. ,

ber of the committee in thinking that it

The' recommendation of the coinneittee
has been acted -upon by, the Goverhment
and embodied in an Order-ip-Ooiniehethe
period during which the old Readers are
allowed to remain on the list of authorized
'book s being extended till Atignst, 1885. In'
order to protect' fully the interests of the
public, it is stipulated that new books can
be substituted for "old ones, within that time,
only by ,the teaoher, on the approval of .the
