. ; Chicago Aad The Text Book.
. Chicago has seriously and systema
tically taken up the question of cost
la school text books, and seems ready
to decide, to IsBue its own text books
,-in ihe, form of leaflets. According to
t -the telegrams received, the average
eost per. pupil for books each term 1b
S3 u Wider the proposed leaflet system
which the board itself will issue the
ost would be $1.25. ", '
' Every Beetion of ihe country feels
the heavy drain upon ft for' school
books. It is not alone their first cost,
which is entirely too great, but that so
many books that are little used, some
t " them scarcely at all, ; must be
Jwaght to comply , with the school
regulations, and their cost is suffi
ciently great to be felt. We Bhould
not be surprised if the outcome would
he something like that proposed in
-Chicago,, pither that or the prices
will be so reduced for the text books
as' to Bring theiri within reasonable
limits, "lileantimV It might not' be a
ad plan'" for the city superintendent
to carefully lnvesttgate to discover if
therej are not a number of books
'-uinjBrated iu the official" lists' which'
; are scarcely used at all, which might
he eliminated, and thus save parents
seme of the weight of expenditure that
fulls heavily upon them with the In
reaajne; jgost'pf living. Portland Tel-
