Mr. Shackelford's.Bill.
?Editor, of Tho Times-Dispatch: ?
Sir.?Referring to your editorial of
Mnroh 25th. headed "Why This Bill?" In
which you express a desire to hear the
"whys and wherefores of Its existence,"
I beg to say that Senate bill No.. 215 wan
offered by inc. I cannot think tliat.lt Is
either "remarkable" or "iihsurd," .?which
terms you apply to It.
In the first pince, the principle of (his
bill Is embodied almost entirely In tho
present rule governing (ho State Board
of Education under the present system,
and In, the second place only mal?es clear
the principio tihat a trustee should not
he permitted to purchase his own goods
and sell thorn Uo the people ho repre? ?
senta.
I conceive that I tits Is Ihn bill In a
nutshell. No. mail, In my opinion, fan
ho without prejiiilli-o In deciding between
iho product of IiIh own mind or hand and
that of another.
You state that the Information you have
h that tho h|ll was adversely reportci
by tlio Houso Comniitteo nnd tnken out
of the hands of the committee of the
Senate nnd passed. As u mutter of fact,
owing to the Illness of the chairman oi
Hie Senate Committee, no meeting of Hint
committee, had been held fur some timo,
and, therefore, ?fter showing the bin to
the members of the committee, and with
their approval, I nsked tho discharge of
the'committee from further consideration
of the bill nnd had II put upon its pas
sago. Tho Senator from Lynchburg city
uftnred amendments lo the bill, and I?
was discussed ai suino length and passed
the Sonato practically unanimously. The
cpinm'l'00 n' the House, Ilvo members
being present, reported tho hill adversely
by a voto of three to two. When It came
to Its passage In the (louse, after ?? dis?
cussion of nearly two hours, It was passed
without, amendment by a vote of sixty
lu-seven, thus disposing, of your chilni
fjiat the b||l had nu consideration.
?-Asciar as I am personally concerned; I
do not care whether the gentlemen you
name are off or on the Roani of Educa?
tion, but I do contend that no man should
bo aelected to choose text-hooks who is
pecuniarily Interested In the same, or who
has that prejudice which must lean to?
wards the work of his own mind,
Yours very truly,
???.-,,, , GI3QR0.B S.fiHACKELFUHO.
