NO FREE TEXT BOOKS

4-H CLUB GIRLS SELECTED TO
COMPETE IN DEMONSTRATIONS
Because of lack of funds and no
provision having been made in the
budget for this expense the local
grade school cannot provide any free
text books before September, 1932.
In view of this the patrons of the
school will furnish all books for
their children
throughout
this
school year. Plans for next year will
be announced after the first of tbc
year.
*The State Text Book Commission
meets every two years and adopts
one third of the books used in the
schools. Books so adopted must be
used for six years. This accounts
for the changes in this year’s book
list.
