The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-01-02

The actual retail price of set of State
books is 81 49, Ihe wholesale price Of these
books Is So g. The present Wholesale price
of. similar books published elsewhere is
about the same. If the State of California
should buy all their books of private pub
fishers they would not cost more than 81 10
set. And the books Of the publishers are
Infinitely ahead of the State books IN print
ing illustrations and literary value. Ii the
State tries to furnish its books free the tax
payers must foot the whole cost. How much
would that be?
The State, up to December, 1889, had
issued something over 100000 books of all
sizes. To do this had cost in appropriations
ceived from the sale of books, and used in
the Revolving Fund" 1t is easy to see that
every single book mot seD represents
taxpayers expense of over 81 40l They
are the highest priced textbooks ever known
in the world, and to complete the hideous
mockery, we have barred out the works of
the great educational writers for the weak
and stupid work of new and untried writer's.
There is common sense in the plan of the
State buying textbooks and furnishing
determined from the printing estimates,
such course would result in saving the
people not less than one-half.. In Massa-
chusetts the annual expense to each pupil
is only 46 cents and mills.
In this connection it must be understood
that the State Printing Office has thus far
been printing quantities OF books very far
in excess of what will be the permanent re-
qurements of the State. To this date it has
been nearly all Introductory work" There
were, of course, no State books in use to be-
gin with, and every pupil in the State had TO
be supplied with the new books. These
boo ks were not all introduced at once, as
many counties had contracts with publishers
which did not expire till 1888 When the
schools have once been fully supplied with
the new books, the annual sales will at once
tall off to about one-third OF the total num-
Der of books in use at one time, and in the
case of the larger and more expensive books.
of less than thar, and this reduced and
permanent output of books must bear all
he burden OF the enormous interest charge
THE BOOKS ARE LITERARY FAILUERS.
The above completes the exhibit Of the
financial side of this mOnstrous folly. As
tonishing as it is il would be we'll for the
State If 1t were the worst of it. The great
evil of The business, however, is on the edu-
catloDal side, IN the injury inflicted on the
schools by folsting upon them by the strong
arm of the law at great cost series of books
which no reputable publishing house would
ever think of Offering to the public, and
which they could never get adopted if they
did. This evil is, perhaps, less tangible
than the financial loss, but it is the greatest
evil, and the one especially felt by teachers.
This was fQretold by them when The scheme
was first broached, and this will finally
arouse them to the complete overthrow Of
the system. {. IL. S.

We publish to-day the prospectus lin part
of the West Indian and British Guiana Ice
Company-an undertaking which has been
foated for the purpose of taking over the West
Indian Company's business in Bal bados and in
Trinidad and the c%ontraci the same Company
have made with Messrs. Birch e. Co., of De-
merara, by which the latter agree to take a
minimum quantity of 10 tons Of the Cos ice
daily at a farthing per ID. In Barbados the
West Indian Company are selling ice at pre-
sent at three pounds for a cent, which is 50
ANOMALY cheap, that it means an attempt,
we must believe, to close up the business of
the importers of ice from the North. We can
not regard this attempt with approval, for such
a monopoly in food supply as the Company
are straining to establish has seldom, if ever,
proved to be a lasting boon to a community.
We can, however, speaking from the best au-
thority. commend the ice which the Company
make, its quality being Of the highest standard
in fact. o fideal purity. And their importation
of beef, mutton, fish and vegetables from Eng
Ia ID in cold chambers has brought within the

than the first. AS a correspondent in Tues
days Advertiser tritely observes:
Zone would have thought the utter failure
of attempting to make roads in Dominica
would have made His Excellency pause before
trying his prentice hands elsewhere. The
Roads in ST. Kits would be a credit to Eng
land, and the public surely ought to be con
suited before being called upon to find this
enormous sum. 1t is, to say the least of it,
funny, that we have never found ont these
great requirements, and that it has fallen to
the lot of our present Governor to open our
eyes''.-&. Christopher Gazette.
