UNFAIR TO GEO. w. CRANE.

nored Mr. Cranes OFF,.

Professor 0. c. Hill, executive clerk
to Governor Morrill,, thinks the Topeka
board of education did not treat Geo. ".
Crane fairly in its adoption OF the
American Book company books.
Professor Hill said: The report of the
school book committee was decidedly
unfair. The committee said Cranes
books were not adopted because of the
great cost in making a change. That is
not true. Mr- Crane offered to fur
nish the First, Second, Third.
and Fourth Readers at
price % per cent less than is now being
paid for the books in use and offered to
furnish the Fifth Reader so per cent
cheaper than the present price paid for
a Fifth Reader.
THAT was not all Mr. Crane offered to
make an even exchange of new books
for the old ones in use. That is he pro :
posed to place a new reader on every
desk taking up the old readers now used
BY the scholars ard not charge one cent
for making the exchange, giving the
scholars new books instead of old ones
The report of the committee was unfair
