April 6 (P) Textbooks In reading for the first, second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth grades, and geographies for the fourth and sixth grades, and a civics text for the eighth grade were designated as books for first purchase by school districts under the new free text book law at a matting of the state board of education Ait was announced Saturday. AU of ffiese textbooks are recent adoptions and are not owned at present by the pupil of the schools'. The new law calls for on annual levy of 41.60 per enrolled child ln the elementary grades for the purchase 6t textbooks until such time as all books are supplied; thereafter this levy will need to bo In only such amount as may be necessary for keep ing the supply up to requirements. In these districts in which the fund raised by the required levy Is suffi cient to purchase more books than those set forth on the designated list, tho board has recommended that ad ditional copies of one or more of the text books now In use be secured to supply the classes. Tho handling of textbook orders through regional depositories of pub lishing companies at Portland was deckled upon by the board as the most feasible rhethod of distribution. The books may be purchased in this way at a 15 per cent discount P. O. B. Portland. For some years the J. K. Gill company has acted as the rils- trlbutinir aEencv for all the textbook I publishing companies doing business : In Oregon, but it is understood that i other companies arc interested in en tering this line of business. The decision of the state board of education to have distribution of textbooks made through regional dis tributors was made with the under standing that ln case more than one reliable distributing agency arranges to handle textbooks ln this territory on the same bnsie. school offlciuls will be given a choice as to the one through which their orders shall be handled.. Tho state superintendent will work out a detailed scheme for handling textbooks under the general plan adopted by the board. The members of the state board of educa tion are Governor Julius L. Meier.
