The matter of the. choice of a hit»
tory for the liigh School course was
first taken up. Chairman Keith said
that d number of books had been men-
tioned and he thought that a ballot
on the subject tvould be the best way
tti decide. The histories mentioned
were Channlng’s and Ashley's
Dr. Tracey spoke in favor of tin-
('hnnning hook, saying that It was. in
his opinion, best adapted to them-eds
of the school I ‘
Dr. Kendall said that he had refet
retl the Ashley book to an eminent
bistmian who had pronounced it an
excellent book if supplemented with
reference books.
Mr. Beers spoke In favor of Ash-
ley's. ’
Dr. (‘ltlne said that he had been Im-
pleased by the'Ashley. He said that
he took exception to a note receiygd
from Mr. Gnmbat‘t. in '
thought that Mr. (lumbnrl had been
a little sarcastic, and had thought
that the school board had been respon-
sible for the delay. He proceeded to
show that the delay had been caused
by file fact that, owing to Mr. tinni-
bart's negligence he today is without
an American history. He said ~that
Mr. Gnmbart could have had a history
at the beginning of the school year.
Mr. Sarmin said the f'hannlng book
was superior to thevAshley. as it would
stimulate the patriotism of the chilv
