school books. Under the present
system the publisher fixes his price so
as to yield himself an enormous profit,
bat the retailer is permitted to charge
scarcely enough above cost to pay his
freight, although the latter takes all
risks on account of the credit system
50 common in the rural districts. The e
is no good reason why a SC oil book
hound in boards should sell for doubie
the price of Il novel well bound in
cloth. Cheaper the school books
