The terms on which new books are INTRO.
,iuced not being generally understood, the
Board has deemed It proper TO give such in
formation Ia reference to II as will assist school
committees and individuals In obtaining books
fhp lDV-pEt nO9Rt lln rQst In he YnlaNn
publishers. whose books have been adopted,
W II allow for al old books In exchange for
new, half the retail price charged for new
ones Of the same grade ana kind as the old.
In other words, n book which retail5 for one
dollar can lie had for fifty Cents and an old
book al The same kind, no matter by whom
published. When no old looks arc used In
exchange, now ones can be had forty per
cent, less than the retail price. These con-
duions Will continue until the schools arc
once supplied, alter which prices will be as
heretofore.
| AS to the rest mode OF making exchanges and
| buying new books, those directly interested
1 must decide for themselves whether il would
! be more economical for school committees
! to gather up the old books and deal directly
| with publishers, or make arrangements aa
! indi ividEGls or committees with some neigh.
| boring dealer to eject the exchange foI
them, will no doubt be determined by con-
| sideratiOns Of economy, ana the best inter.
ests OF those most deeply concerned.
II Is desirable that the introduction of the
| new books should take place as rapidly az
| possible, "a when once in the schools Ii Will
greatly conduce to their efficiency in an edu
cational point Of view, as well as save to tho
| people CT the State thousands Of dollars

| books. Catalogues containing the retail prics
