It was a good book for Its day, but it doesn’t compare with the newest textbook.” At least this is the opinion of Supt. J. H. Grigg head of puttie education in Cleveland county, and one of four on a state textbook commission which has just finished the final selection of English and modem language basal texts for next year. New Text* Lists of these texts are being sent to school officials over the f\.c Bids from three different book com panies will be considered by the state department on the basis of the committee’s seleotlons. In accordance with state law, only one fifth of the high school texts can be changed any one year. The new books will be used in 1936 37. Mr. Grigg said today that the main advantages of the new books are that they have more modem material, are better prepared and more suitable to needs, and will be much cheaper than the textbooks now in use. Schools in this county use about 5,000 new books per year, and there will be considerable saving on this new set-up. On the committee with Mr. Grigg were Chairman A. W. Honeycutt, of Lexington; J. M. Shields, principal of the New Bern high schools; and Miss Kate Finley, principal of the Rockingham high school.
