trustees in the several scho school ol 01 districts hold hoid and exercise their office as the law directs independent of any allt alit hority and we do not know of a district school in the territory there Is certainly not one in this city where the books named are use as textbooks or enter into the course of instruction st sf given givanc the books in use are similar to those adopted in the best schools of the various states stated and the union corres correspondent has no doubt een imposed upon by some person as reckless of the he truth as the present executive of the territory who wild has
