a BOOK DIPENSARY.
Tho State Board OF Examiners Agree on a
Plan.

: L IL
Board O! Examiners, alter two Gays an,
nights Oh unceasing labor, has come to
conclusion about the question of books
and repositories, and has adjourned.
Tho repositories will be established
but not III the way that was expected.
The State will not open up book dlspen.
sarcs to the exclusion of individual
dealers, but 1t will 90 INTO the book bust.
ness tor all il ls worth, and thn private
dealer will have hard time Of it unless
nc can purchase books Ut the same ad.
vantage the State can, and can sell them
at as small profit rs the State can af.
ford to do.
The scheme, briefly outlined, is as fol-
lows. the chief points Of which are given
by superintendent of Education May
field: The State wllpurcnase ali thcbOoks
necessary for the use Of tho public
schools of the State. In every town, aud
in fact i'll every place where anything is
sold, the state will try to establish de-
posltory. 1t Is contemplated by the
board Of examiners that arrangements
can be made with deal ers in the dtler.
cnt towns whereby they will handle the
Docks to be used i'm the public schools.
The State does not propose to make any
pr)il, except what ls necessary to pay
the expenses OF handling the books
about ten per cent.
1t IS not intended that dealers shall be
run out OF the business. They are cX-
pcclcd to sell as many books to the
pubic as the States AGENTS, provided they
can make rs good terms with the pub
IIShcrS and can sell with rs small a profit
rs The State AGENTS can. That Is the
question that will dc 'idc whether the
State Will again attempt to run another
monopoly. The authorities propose at
| present To run monopoly in WhiSkcV
ana doubtless, the same spirit that actl-
alcu The whlSkcY monopoly, so Called
was the moving spirit in dcvlsln.r The
book scheme.
