Printer-Prof. Kies VIII Prepare
the History.

NnlluS ana Penneu being present Fro
lessor Pierce presided in the absence of
Governor Markham.
The Secretary, J. w. Anderson, read a
communication in regard to the applica-
tion of Henry F. Waggoner for high
grade life diploma ,senumerating his Gre
dentials. The board declined to grant
the diploma, holding that under the law
Of 1893 they could not do so.
W. H. V. Raymond, editor-in-chief, re-
ported that the First and Second Readers
had been reviewed by the editors and
printed at the State Printing Office. The
text of the Fourth Reader had been sub
mitted for examination and criticism to
prominent educators and bad received
high commendation as well as some Yalu-
able suggestions, which will tend to i'm
prove It's efficiency. The text of the
Third Reader, which had been unavolda-
bly, delayed by the unavoidable absence
OF one of the editors, has been completed
and placed ia the hands of the printer,
and large part OF it IS now in type.
Considerable work has also been done on
the Grammar. The cost of authorship,
editorial work and illustrations on the
First Reader was s.. 4S3 II; composition,
electrotyping, engraving aud preliminary
printing, 81, l45 90; total, ST, ,G29 OF. This
sum divided by 325, 900, the estimated
supply for eight years, gives as the
amount TO be added to the price OF the
look for this outlay is two cents.
Cost OF printing and binding an edition
of $4,000, 81, ,937. Divided by $4,000, this
gives S.I5o 10 be added to cost, making
the total cost at Sacramento Sis. The
cost of mailing added makes cost Of book
al any Postof1ice Sis.
On the Second Reader the cost OF
authorship, editorial work and illustra-
tions was S2,519 10; of composition, cleo
trotyping, engraving and preliminary
printing was IS, ,094 %, total of S5.6l3 TO.
This sum divided by 10000, the esti-
mated supply for eight years as
amount to be added to cost OF book
gives S.026. Cost OF printing and bind
ing $4,000 books, ST. 1888 30. Divided by
$4,000 this makes the cost of each book as
S.Z36; total cost at Sacramento, S.262; add
ing cost OF mailing, 500: gives cost at
any Postoffice, S.3ZZ. The supply for
eight years is based on the sale OF First
and Second Readers for the past seven
years.
He calls the attention of the board to
the fact that the expenditure by the
board which is so distri buted is less than
five per cent. OF the cost of each volume,
being an addition to the price of the First
Reader Of 6-l0 mills, and to the Second
Reader of one cent and two mills, the en-
lire expense of authorship, editorial
work and illustrations being thus less
than one-half the sum usually paid by
private publishers for authorship alone.
The report was ordered placed upon the
records.
The State Printer reported the cost of
work on the First Reader, 81, 600 copies at
Sl1, ,S84 70 and the Second Reader, $4,000
copies, at S14, ,S28 10. His deputy, +. 5.
