NEWELL CHAIRMAN O aoVKtl.NOU'B COMMISSIOJ. I M I tor Tillies: Ono of the worst drnwbncks In the work of the High School Is the dlfll cully experienced In getting text bonks and other supplies In Hiiltnblo quantities nud nt tho time they nro wanted. There nro two rensons for this, nnd both seem unnvoldnblo. First, tho denlers will not order books in suffi cient quantities, for fonr of being over-stocked, nnd second, tho smnll or ders do not receive the samo prompt attention thnt Is accorded to largo ones. Tho dcnlors cannot bo blamed for ordering cnutlously. Tho number of books needed In any certain clnsa can never bo exactly determined un til school hns boon In bcsbIoii for some time. Tho npproximnte number of pupils In each class can be ascertain ed far In ndvnnco, but ench dealer must make n cortnln ullownnco for tho number of books likely to bo pur chased from other dealers and for tho number of second hand books likely to bo used. Of courso theso nllow nnccB nro more guesswork nnd the In variable result la nn ovorfliipply of sonio books and n shortage of others. This onuses Inconvcnlcnco nnd dis satisfaction to all concerned. Tho surplus books whoro too mnny hnve been ordered, nnd tho high express rates on tho smnll Into orders to Blip pip deficiencies, wlpo out tho dealer's profit. Tho lack of textbooks causes certain pupils to get behind In tholr work, crippling tho clnss na n wholo nnd lowering tho standard of tho courso. This convenience might bo partly relieved by having tlio hooka ordered by only ono dcnlcr; but this solution hna obvloua defects. Other dcalora could not bo prevented from keeping tho books, nnd If thoy kept only n very fow It would bo sulllclont to make It linposslblo for tho dealer se lected to count on soiling nny ccrlnln number. Resides, ngreolng to buy nil text hooks from ono denier would bo prnctlcnlly boycotting the othor denl ers. Another nnd bolter way to nvold tho dlfilciilty would bo for tho school board to buy tho books nnd soil them to tho pupils. If Bovornl extra cop- icb or ench toxt hook wero ordqrod, nnd tho hooka wore sold to tho stu dents nt tho ordinary prlco, enough monoy would ho rccolvcd to pay for nil tho hooka nml there would ulwiiya bo a fow hooka on hnnd for those who enter Into, or ohnngo courses. With out risking nny nctunl loss of money, onntigh hooka could be ordered to on nblo nil clnssos to stnrt on tlmo with out nny bookless students. After tho first yonr, which should pny for tho rosorvo hooka, thoro la no reason why fltudonta ahould not got toxthooka somowhnt cheapor than thoy enn now. nut this plnn Is by no monna tlio host. Thoro nro n fow fncta that wo do not often think of thnt mnko nn other plan fnr prefornblo. Tho avorngo toxt book la good for flvo yonra of uso. Tho avorago text book In tho High School la usod loss thnn n yonr. In tho grndos. less than two years. Tho number of High School books that ore used but ono hnlf yonr. inoro thnn offsets thoso usod "second hand." Nino text books out of ton nro ne ver used nftor thoy nro finished In school nnd nro of no more uso thnn ns If thoy hnd boon destroyed. The school district enn buy books nt from 10 por cent to 10 por cont bolow re tnll prlcea nnd nubllshors will allow n school district llhornl torms of ox- chnngo for tholr old toxt hooka whon thev chnngo rrom ono to nnothor. If tho text hooka woro boucht In itio school dlatrlct nnd lonned to tho pupils, tho cost to tho pooplo of tho district for toxt books would bo not more thnn ono qunrtor what It la now, nnd tho pupils would have tho dook that thoy needed whon thoy nooded thorn. Such a plan baa both economy nnd olllclency In Ita fnvor, and no real drnwbacka. Tho only sorloua objection thnt op ponent8 of tho plnn ndvnnco, Is tho expenso Involved. Hut for ovory dnl lnr ndded to tho tnxes In ordor to buy books, four will bo snvod. when onco tho plnn Is ndoptod. Most Intelli gent pooplo would rnthor nay ono dol lar In tuxos nnd got toxt-bnokB froo thnn to pny four dollars for tost books. It Is also argued that many peoplo who nay taxes have no cblblrnn in school, and that they should not bo coinpolled to pny for books for other people's children. Tho samo argu ment could bo used equally woll against anything connected with tliA schools.
