New text books, a partial list

LOT bno SCuOOl mere, I'd COmp ply
with the text book law of the
State. The new books are most
ly for advance work. To make
these new books free to the
scholars would cut our school
term short, consequently the
Trustees have decided to sell the
new books to the scholars at
actual cost. The new law gives
the Board this right. The old
books that we have on hand and
are allowed to use for supplement
tary work, will, of course, be
free as usual.
