It won Id appear tbat it is up to the
state board of test book oommkeioaers
to alter the present service ot fur
rjiBbiog Bcbool tooks to the different
districts of the state. Under the pres
ent method of seouriug text books the
bigbor grades in thepublio schools are
compelled in some instances to wait a
week or more after tho beginning of
sobool before entering upon the year's
work, for the reason that books are
not iu stook in local book stores. This
in faoo of tho fact tbat the J. K. Gill
company of Poitluad is nuder ooutract
to koop a complete depository of text
books iu every town iu the state,
eo we are reliably informed. To the
contrary, this is not done, in Athena
at leat. The resnlt is that the Looks
have to oouie from l'ortlaud on order
after school stalls and ell of this
week's work will be praotioally lost to
thestndeuta iu tbe High sobool de
partment. 'o blame can bo attaobed
to local beck sellers for the reason
that the narrow margin of 10 por cont
oo sales will cot peimit of them oarry
iug a voluminous stock of books, when
the contracting company iefnses to
allow the return of uueold books.
This is nothiug less than flagrant in
justice to tbe local seller, the school
pnpils aud the public, aud appatently
is iu rank violation of the depository
clause of the coutract between the J.
K. Gill company and tbe state. The
text book situation should be eo ar
langod that nn; one paying the price
could at auy time piocare any look
embraoed iu the general coats cf
study without having to wait for aa
order to go to Poitland.

around the building were porticoes, to
