CHM SCHOOL BOOK BILL.

The Chinn School Bill, fixed the
highest price on which school
books could be sold 10 Kentucky
at one third less than the price
they are now sold by the book
trust. Had this bill become q law
the spelling book which now sells
for twenty cents would sell for
ten cents.
The price of the first reader
would have been reduced from
twenty cents to ten cents; second
reader from thirty cents to TWEEN.
~; third reader from forty five to
thirty; fourth reader from fifty to
forty cents, and fifth reader from
seventy.five to fifty cents. The
price Of practical srithmetics
would have been reduced from Of.
~ to forty cents and the price Of q
complete geography from S1.2O to
eighty five cents.
Had the Chinn bill become Q
law, our school books could not
have cost more than the lowest
prices given above, but might and
probably wonld have cost ne less.
A similar law has been in force
in Indiana for ten years, and the
average price paid by them lie ten
per cent. below the lowest prices

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
