picking prices. In some yards 45
cents a box has been paid this
season, and at this figure the ave
rage picker makes around $2.50 a
day. The crack pickers can earn a
little better than $5 a day at this
rate.
Pickers seem to be accepting
the slight cut from a dollar a
hundred as in keeping with the
times, and say that at the present
price their earnings go farther
than the cent or cent and a quar
ter that they have received the
past few years. In some yards the
equivalent of 80 and 85 ceos a

FREE BOOKS ILL
. -
: ' PROVE IEJT
(foatlauad from page 1)
The -response of parents to calls
for donation of ; their children'
discarded texts, ended this apprehension--at
least for the preseat
year. ...---,
These donations will forestall
tbo heavy drain oa. school funds
for about two years, or when the
present books wear out. Hug
points out. However, It la possible
a sinking fund can be established
to relieve the strain on tha school
budget "whea the need tor, new
texts does come.
Although the-law does not re
quire that books be furnished the
high school students.' a rental sys
tem has been created in the Eng
lish departments, under the di
rection of Mrs. Ellen Fisher In
the senior high, and Miss L. May
Rauch in the junior hlgba. This
system has proven successful
enough that Superintendent Hug
believes it could be applied to oth
er departments of the secondary
schools. Such a rental system
would eliminate much of the
waste entailed when students buy
all new books at every change of
class and discard them after that
use.
Donations of texts still will be
gladly received by the school of
ficials, since the more books they
get without expense, the more
funds there will be for Inevitable
replacements. v
