Schools are left to decide for themselves
whether they will use the slant or the
vertical system of writing. The retail

&c per number.

1t has been reported to this Office that
the exchange of an old book for a new
one OF the next higher grade has been re.
fused by dealers at few places, and that
higher prices than those given above
have been charged in other cases where
such exchange has been made. The
above prices and terms are provided for
in the contracts with the publishers, and
it is hoped that patrons will demand their
rights in all cases.
