han, is misleading in come particu
lars The contract with the pub
fishers requi.es them to take up anc
exchange at haif price all books
displaced by the newly adopted list
This is construed by the publishers
to mean that they are to take up at
the exchange price the standard
books now Ia use, and only such
books. That is to say, in Sumter
County where. Holmes Readers and
Appleion's Readers are now 10 uss
in the pubic schools, these readers,
only, will be taken up io exchange
for Johrson's Readers Montgom
ery's Beginners American History,
Honsell's Scacol History and Hon
sells Higher History ere the stand
ard textbooks on this subject now
in use and they will be taken up at
exchange prices for Lees Histories.
No other histories will be exchanged,
even though ia use in some OF the
public schools Under Supt Nc
