The State Board Of Education
has adopted the old list Of school
books for the next four Yeas, with
only one slight change, and the
book sharks have been knocked out.
There il, however, . difference be-
tween the former prices Of the books
and the prices adopted by the State
Board Of Education. Whenever the
prices were such that pennies would
have to be used by purchasers il the
books were sold 1t their printed
value. it was formerly the custom to
add on . few cents 80 as to make the
amount divisible by five. This has
been done away with and in the
future . book that 10 marked Is

The same rule applies to Ill books
whose prices win necessitate the
using Of cent pieces. The prices will
be printed on the books.
