The terms on which new books are Introduced not
Icing generally understood, the Board has deemed n
proper n give such information in reference 10 II s
VIII assist school committees and individuals in OBJ
talning books at the lowest possible cost In the first
place, publishers whose books have been adopted
wl allow for all old books in exchange for new half
the Tetail price charged for new ones Of the same
grade and kind as the old. In other words book
which retails for dollar be had for y cents
and an old book Of the same kind no matter by
whom published When no old books are used IN
exchange new Onees can bc had forty per cent les
than the retail price These conditions will continue
until the schools once supplied after which prices
will be as heretofore.
As 10 the best mode Of making exchanges and buv
ing books, those directly interested must decide far
themselves whether IL would be more economical fnr
school committees % gather the old books and deal
directly with publishers, or make arrangements as
individuals or committees with some nelghboriu0
dealer 10 effect the exchange for them will no dou
be determined by considerations Of economy, and
the best interests Of those most deeply concerned
Il is desirable that the Introduction OF the new
books should take place as rapidly as possible as
when I'm the schools it will greatly conduct to
their efficiency in educational point Of view, as
well 10 the people Of the State thousands of
dollars heretofore spent for heterogeneous Of
books Catalogues containing the retail price of the
books adopted can be had on application to the pub
fishers.
