When the school -i open in Ore
gon this month the pupils are re
quired to buy new books all
around. Just why this should
be so in hard to tell, as a rule.
Of course some of the books arc
out of date, but in a majority of
cases fie old books are just as
Kood as the new. This thintf of
chanKif))? the school books every
six years is more of a tfraft than
anything else. It puts thousands
and hundreds of thousands of
dollars into the pockets of school
book publishers and in many in
stances this moicy comes from
families who i-annot alTord it.
Then the book publishers are in
many instances Riven to un
scrupulous methods in charging
more for their books in one state
than in another. Such an in
stance w as had here this year
when one of the concerns was
chartfinjr 2o cents for books here
