SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION
An Open Letter to County Sup
erintendent Stout.
80 Per Cent Teachers, Pupils,
Parents,Said to Favor Law.

To John W. Stout. County Superintend-
ent, Shawnee County.
I was quite a little surprised to see
your letter in Sundays Capital on the
text book question Several weeks ago
you told me that you knew nothing
about the matter in question and ought
not to have been put on the committee
to look after legislation Your cenmun-
icatfon proves to me that you know
nothing of the subject and should not
have been on the committee Now there
is a. practical side to this question as
well as a theoretical. ! speak on the
practical side Of the subject and am
familiar with it.
No resolutions on the text book ques-
ton were adopted at the State Teachers
annual meeting except the one you
quote, asking for supplemental books
for pupils who possess the adopted
books and are using them in good faith. =
Are you not going beyond your author
ity when you ask legislation different
from that2 Your proposition to provide
for districts buying any BOOKS lney
please, absolutely destroys uniformity
Out of 225 county and city superln-
tendents who have written to US on the
subject 80 per cent say that the teachers,
pupils and parents are in favor Of the
law. What reason or sense is there in
attempting to force contractors to sell
their goods to dealers all over the state
promiscuous1y on commission. instead
Of for cash as at present? The con-
tractor gives a heavy bond to the state,
binding him to maintain the quality Of
the books and the prices, also to have
them on sale in every county. What
more can be asked?
Your proposition will not benefit the
pupils nor the contractors 1t will only
have the effect of making the conditions
harder for the contractors. The aim
should be to make the conditions easier
and thus encourage competition which
will increase the chances for better
books. Such a change as you propose
is unnecessary, unbusinesSlike and Inju-
dicious Why should the contractor or
books be forced to sell on commission
when he can sell for cash? At present
we are selling to 400 different dealers for
cash In addition to the sales to the reg
uIar supply agent in each county. Your
proposition would make it impossible
for a contractor. to know how his BUSH
manufacture and carry stock of dou-
bic the quantity Of goods to be sold each
year
The maximum prices (about half the
old rates. are based on the proposition
Of a manufacturer being able to produce
goods in wholesale quantity. for cash.
in consideration of the entire trade on
a given book for five years at a spec1-
fed price without expense of advertls-
ing, travelling agents or collection of ac-
counts Your proposition calls for low
maximum prices, with an increase of
burthens to the manufacturer and for
the benefit of no one, unless it be the
publisher with unlimited capital.
It would freeze out the little publish
ers of which our house is one Why do
you ask it? I can defend my position
but you cannot defend yours
