TO THE TEACHERS AND PATRONS OF: THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF QUEENS COUNTY, N. Y. Fuusitxo, L. I., September 15, 1877. 'Tws attention ofschool-trustees and patrons of public schools of Queens County is called to the following recent Act of the Legislature in regard to the adoption of TEXT-BOOKS FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The people of the State of New York,represented in Senate and Assembly, do eact oa'follows : Sec. 1. The Boards of Education, or such bodies as perform thefunctions of such boards in the several cities and villages of this State, shall bare power, and it shall be their duty, to adopt and designate text-books to be used in the schools under their charge in: their respective districts. . Tn the other achool.districts in the State, the text- books to be used in the schools therein shall be designated at the first annual achool- meeting held after the passage of this met, by a two-thirds voteof all the legal voters present and voting at such school meeting. Sc, 2. When aoy text-book shall bavebeen adopted for use in any of the publicor common schools in this State, as provided in th section of thisact, it shall notbe lawful to supersede the text-book so adopted by any other book within a periodof fire years from the time of such adoption, except upon a three-fourths vote of the Board of Hduestion, or of suchbody as performs the functions of such board, where such board has made the designation, or upon a three-fourthsvote of the legal voters present and votingthe at annual school. meetiog in any other school-district, Bc. 3. Any person or persons violating any of the provisions of this act shall be liable to a penalty of not less than fifty dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, for rery such violation, to besued for by any taz.payer of the school- district, and recov- or treasurer for the benefit of said school-district. Buc. 4. Thisact shall take effect immediately. It will be seen thatthe law makes it the duty of each district to select by vote, at the next annual school-meeting in October, the list of books which shall be used exclusively thereafter in their respective schools. -An the books in-all-probability, a period of not less than five years, it is important thatthe people should act intelligently in a matter that will affect in a large measure the welfare and efficiency of the schools. . It will bea favorable oppor- tunity for discarding old books that are unsuited to present wants, or where, by long use, they lack the freshness and interest that a new and improved series would possess, Teachers and trustees should use every exertion to remedy the very prevalent evil: of a médley of text-books that are brought into the schools. . After the adoption is once made under the new law, the books selected should be made exclusive and uniform thereafter. The following text-books are especially recommended for use in district-schools : Appletons' School Readers. | Quackenbos's U. 8. Histories. Cornell's Geographies. \ |The Model Copy-Books. Quackenbor's Arithmetios. - |Krusi's Drawing Series. Quackenbor's Language Lessons, or Grammar. They are superior in the following important points : 1. For economical reasons-the small number of books in each series, viz., five reading-books, two geographies, three arithmetics, one gram- mat, six copy-books, etc., makes their cost below all competing series of the same scope and merit. . 2. Especial adaptation to the wants of district-schools, They are systematic, clear, and well graded; while philosophical in theirde- velopment of subjects, they reject all superfluous theories and irrele- vant speculations, noticeable in many other text-books, 3. They embrace modern and well-tested methods of education; and bring all topics treatedof fully up to date. 4. They are well rmiade, - The binding of all of these books is unex- ceptionably strong and durable, the print clear and open, the paper and material used of the most excellent quality. $. The low prices at which theyare furnished, for introduction and exchange, render their substitution for inferior books practicable in all .. cases where the question of experise is interpored. f 6.

Con. musioner of Schools, Queens County + -+- - Where the Books recommended for Queens Co. are used, Cornell's Geographies are used in New York, Brookiyn, Oswego, Lon; Irland City, Flushing, Jamaica, Glen Core, in a very large number of the diatrict-schools of Queena County, and in a large proportion of the schools of New York State. . They are extensively used throughout the country, and have been adopted more largely in New England during the present year than any other sories, - Millions of Cornel's-Geographise have been sold. It is uscleas to enumerate places for so popular a series. From assurances already received, Comxrzt's Groonarames will be adopted, and readopted, in a majority of the schools of the county, and a uniformity can be much more certainly secured by accopting this series in preference to any other. - ©, | Appletors' Arithmetios are used in the cities of Syracuse, Oswego, Albany, , llmirs, New York, Brooklyn, in Flushing, and in very many other towne and leading villages in the State of New York, and in numerous cities throughout the country:. They have algo just been adopted for ezelusice use in all the sohools «f the State of Minnasota.
