A Kick ON BOOKS.
School Book ublishers Violate 9 Thcfr Con-
tract with the County,

On Nov. 16, 1885, the text book board OF
this county. in consideration of Il change
in the text books of the county entered
into an agreement. backed up by a bond.
with eight firms of booksellers, to enable
the pupils of this county to get their books
al certain retail price hereafter set forth.
The firms in question are as follows:
Porter G. Coates, Philadelphia; +. May
nard & Co. New York; VanAntwerp,
Bragg & Co F., Cincinnati; Z. II. Butler &
Co.. Philadelphia; A. S. Barnes & Co.,
Chicago; j. b. Lippincott & Co., Phila-
delphia; Ivison, Brakeman & Co., Chicago
Recently it has been discovered that
pupils have been compelled to pay good
deal more for the books than the
price scheduled. The booksellers
claim that they cannot sell the
books for the prices, and they probably
cannot, but for all that the county super
intendent says that the foregoing com
panies must provide means of selling
the books to pupils at the price stated,
and that if they do not a suit will be in-
stituted against the companies bondsmen
for damages. The understanding was at
the time the contract was made, that the
books would be furnished to local dealers
at price that would enable them to sell
TO the pupils at the specified prices. TIE
agreement went further by saying that
the companies named would provide
facilities by which the books would be
sold in every town in the county at the
rates given below. Superintendent
Colville advises every pupil liz the county
not to pay cent more for books than the
prices stated, aud requests that every case
where an exorbitant price is asked be re-
ported to him promptly, for it is his inten-
ton to compel the companies to respect
their contracts. The following is the list
OF books governed by the contract, and
