It crept out in California the other day, In a report to that 6tate's Legislature. The California situation was covered in a recent dispatch to The Christian Science Monitor. In a 120-page study of the state system of furnishing textbooks to the local school districts, the dis patch reports, an interim commit tee on education of the California Assembly blasts the state Monop oly in the printing and distribu tion of textbooks. 'Fostered Mediocrity' The report is construed as a smashing indictment of 'central ized dictation" and "state-fostered mediocrity" which results when local school districts no longer have the freedom to select text books. The study completed by the four-member Assembly committee of Chairman Donald D. Doyle. Dorothy M. Donahoe, Walter L. Dahl, and Blanche V. Hansen is being cited to show how local communities surrender their tra ditional American freedom when their school authorities rely on the state government for "aid." California state agencies coop erated with the Doyle committee in supplying factual information. The California Commission on Public School Administration, comprising every major educa tional organisation In California along with the state universities and private colleges, furnished the Legislature the results of its two year study recommending strongly grass-roots administration of the schools and urging that "author ity should be concentrated In and exercised by the local districts." Backed By P. T. A.'s California parenHeacher asso ciations have backed the legisla tive committee In bringing to light the drawbacks in California's "single, exclusive system for elem entry textbook adoptions." Forty pages of the Doyle group's report deal with comments on elementary textbooks from mem bers of local school districts throughout California. Here are some typical com ments: These voluminous samplings show that some local authorities are paying twice for textbooks. First they are taxed to pay their share of what the state collects from the cities and towns to sup port "state education" and sec ondly. some of the local school boards apportion additional funds to buy better quality books than the state provides. "There seem to be many excel lent textbooks not printed by the state due to certain regulations, thus they are purchased to supple ment state books in order to af ford as broad an educational pol icy as possible ? Board Member, Menlo Park Elementary District." 'Whole Concept Wrong' "Believe whole concept of state selected and state-supplied books is wrong. We should be able to spend our textbook funds on the best texts available in the entire United States and strictly accord ing to our own needs and own se lection. Some of the state texts are now wonders in ambiguity. I am for everything that will bring school control back to local level and stop trend toward conforming to remote tontrol. ? Board Mem ber, Tuslin Union District." "We feel state-selected text books are frequently second-rate, and that a modification in the process is badly overdue. I person ally take a dim view of the pooh pooh attitude reported in the newspapers as emanating from some officials of the State Depart ment of Education on this prob Fatal Fallacies by Ted Key The Travelers Safety Service "Isn't the rain dreadful?" lem. Board Member, San Anselmo Elementary District." "Our board of trustees believes that local control of education is a tenet of democracy and that the area of textbooks and their selection is one of several which might well be assigned to the local board. ? Yucaipa Joint Union Dis trict." Historical Background Historically in California, as in most other states, the selection of textbooks was a wholly local school district affair, not subject to reg ulation or control or dictation by any state official. The thought is that this freedom to select textbooks to be used in public education at the local level was what enriched and best pre served the American idea of free dom of thought and information and inquiry.
