Custodian of School Books Reports.
The Board of Education at its meeting
Monday night reelected D. w. Bushnell
custodian of school books and fixed his
salary at $3.50 per annum. Mr.. Bushnell's
statement made to the board showed sales
during the year were about SO, 900 and that
the trade which he derived from children
purchasing school books was mainly in small
articles on which the profit was inconsidera-
BILE. Heretofore it has not been the custom
to pay the custodian any salary. The books
kept by Custodian Bushnell show that the
net loss to the district on books where the
odd cents were thrown off the price was
$34.27, which represents the gain to the
purchasers Of the books. The policy pur-
sued by Mr.. Bushnell during the last two
years has been to keep in touch with the
superintendent and teachers. with a view
to reducing the unnecessary stock on hand
and ordering only what would be required.
AS a result where two years ago the dead
stock on hand amounted to 1910, it Is now
only $500. A large saving has also been
made in this manner in charges for trans
portation, which, including both freight and
express charges, amounted to less than $40
during the last year. The members Of the
board expressed themselves as pleased with
the custodian's report.
