The School Book Question.

The text Look question is assum-
ing grave proportions all over this
country. Their uniformity gives
them Il sale olualied by no other
class OF publications., and the prices
are largely greater for books which
are sold by the million copies than
for books Of equal reading matter,
better printed, better bound, ana Oh
better paper, OF which but 4 lew
thousand copies are published anu
sold. The retail dealers perhaps
make no more than reasonable
profit, bu, the publishers ana the re-
tail dealers together get nearly or
quite 800 per cent more IMAM
fair price for their text books. Wa
tered telegraph and railroad stocks
