The elementary textbook commission spent Friday and Saturday in session in Raleigh to hear book publishers present their books in the competition to get on the approved list which the commission will present to the State Board of Education and from which textbooks in history and drawing will be selected. The commission recommends four sets of books and from the four the State Board of Education selects the set to be used in public schools for the next five years, but a change is made only if the prices are considered satisfactory and savings can be made by the new adoption.
All histories to be used in the elementary grades are considered.
Among them are two new North Carolina written histories of the State, one by Professor Arnett, at the State University. the other by Capt. Samuel A. Ashe. who has written other histories of the State. The commission will make its recommendations at a meeting to be held later.
