The torms on which new books are intro.
duced not being generally Understood, the
| boaru has deemed 1t proper to give such In
formation In reference TO 1t as will assist school
Ioommittees and individual q In obtaining books
at tine lowest poss BILE cost In the drst place,
publishers. whose books have been adopted, ,
Iw II all W for all old books in exchange for
new, halt the retail price CHARGED for new
ones OF the sane grade and kind as the old.
In other words, book which reiails for one
dollar can be had for nfty Cents and an old
book OF the same kind, no matter by whom
published. When no old books are used In
exchange, new ones can be had forty per
cent less than the retail price. These con-
dltlons Will continue until the sch OILS are
once supplied, after which prices will be as
heretofore.
| As to the best mode Of making exchanges ana
buying new books, those directly interesL 4
| must decide for themselves whether iL would
be more economical for school committees
to gather up the old books and deal direct )
with publishers, or make ARA gemenls a.
indl lduals OF cImmittees with some neigh
Dor ng dealer to eject the exchAng- foI
them, will no doubt be determined BY con
| alterations OF economy, and the best inter,
eats Of those most deeply concerned.
1t is desirable that the introduction oi the
new books should take plzce as rapidly az
possible, as when once In the schools Ii viii
greatly conduce to their efi cheney In an edu.
cationhl point Of view, as we. as save to the
people ct the State thous nds of dollars
heretofore spent 'or a heterogeneous mas OF
books. Catalogues containing q retail price
OF the books adopted, can ue had ON applica,
tou to the publishers.
