Costs Of Changing Textbooks Compared

From the st. Joseph Daily Gazette Dec, II, 1879.
COST OF CHANGE IN TEXTBOOKS.
Much is being said in the newspapers
of Missouri relative to tn" annual expen-
diture for school books in Missouri.
Now that the period is near at hand
for the county conventions to assemble
for the selection of textbooks for use in
the schools the coming five years, the
following figures and facts are presented,
that the people may understand the mat

said report he says in relation to this
matter of the cost of school books: "At
the beginning of the school year the
principal and teachers were each in
structed to keep an accurate record OF all
books purchased by the pupils, and to re-
port the same to me at the end OF the
term. The records were faithfully kept,
the books counted, and the figures sent
in promptly.
The result of the several terms are
herewith appended for the information
OF those who wish to know how much
money is expended tor school books in
this city.
Kansas City has population, at the
lowest estimate, OF 10000, and the total
expenditure for school books for the use
of pupils in the public schools, for the
year just closed, is $5,96S.SS, or not
quite t.n (io) cents for each inhabtant
The statistics further show thst about
one.third of the pupils bought new books

Grand total, books and slate 9,I9l ,,,.
Total cost 3J6S -
On the basis as above estimated, the
average cost OF the reader, tor example,
now in use, is 3S cents per copy; this
multiplied by the number OF children in
actual attendance in our schools, US au-
thoritatively given by Doctor Shannon,
100000, would be a cost to the patrons
of $Is1,ooo per snnum for the whole
State.
Now the question arises, what would
it cost the people of Missouri to change
every old reading boo now in the hands
OF the children! lake as an illustration
the guaranteed price of Appletons' New
Series, which is 81 10 per set OF five
books, or II cents per book. This multi
piled by the 100000, the number OF
school children, would give us as a total
cost $500 and be saving OF S64, 200
to the State. This would certainly sup
ply every child in the schools with new
reading books, one third of which, as BY
Superintendent Greenwood's statement
would last three wears, one-third two
years, and the balance one year; or, in
other words, this sum would be the eX.
penditure for reading matter averaging
two years. There are IA counties in
Missouri, the present average cost per
county for reading books being 1888 81
while the change would cost on an aver
age S7SS, being an actual saving to each
and every county In Missouri of S544 SO,
leaving the subject ofmert of the differ
ent boSks wholly outside OF the question
under consideration.
The above facts prove conclusively
Ist.-That change OF readers would
save money to all the people OF Missouri.
2nd.-That every county in the State
would be the gamer by said change in a
pecuniary sense.
.3rd.- That every Township, District or
other school would save money thereby.
The statement, therefore, that change
of books being burden TO the people is
an error and Misrepresentation OF the
facts,
