Stat. 1909, §7813), which authorizes the school textbook commission to select and adopt “a uniform series” of school textbooks for use in the public schools of the state, have reference to the whole series of textbooks adopted for use in the public schools. The use must be uniform in all schools of the same grade. The textbooks adopted upon any subject may be made up of books prepared by different authors, provided the same textbook is adopted for use in the same grade in all the public schools. It is for the textbook commission, in its discretion and judgment, to determine whether or not textbooks by different authors upon the same subject are so arranged as to permit them to be used connectedly.</p>
