The Exchange Of Books.

The public schools will open in
one week from next Monday, and
the matter of exchanging the old
books for the new ones being one
in which almost every family is
interested, we have thought prop
er to look into it.
Gov. Heard, who, it is we'll
known, has taken Il very lively
interest in the matter of getting
school books at the lowest prices
aid exchanging the old ones on
the best terms possible, said on
this point 'in an interview last
week:
"old books may be exchanged for new ones
OF the same grade at fifty per cent on their
value. Old books need not be perfect and spot
less IN reason, they ought to be books that
tbe child could use, IL a new author were not
chosen under the new contract. This is fair
criterion and the publishing houses will be
compelled to make the exchange on this basis.
We have q fine system of books, under good
contract. we'll safe-guarded, and every point
covered"
The Baton Rouge Advocate
having had its attention called to
the matter, made some inquiries
of Mr.. Hansell, the State repre-
sentative of the publishing houses
who are to furnish the books, and
gives the following extract from a
circular issued to sub-agents by
him.
"In making exchanges do not take parts OF
| books, or, in fact, take only such books the
condition of which is such that the pupil could
| use it were it notfor the change"
Commenting further on the
subject, in the same article, the
Advocate says:
| complaint is the books in exchange The only
requirement Is that the old books should be
| "usable." The backs may he off and 1t may be
the worse for wear, but If the child could use it
had it not been eliminated as a text book. il
may be exchanged for new one that has beer
adopted by the board. by paying 30 per cent o
the price of the latter"
Now, this looks fair enough,
i and it looks clear enough; but the
two Opelousas agents who have
the books for sale aver that they
have been instructed to take nc
book in exchange unless it is in
very good condition, and will take
meme that has a name written in
it or that has writing on the mar.
gins. One of these dealers says
that purchasers bringing books to
exchange must pay in cash the
| full price of the new book, leave
the old book with him to be sent
to the agent.in New Orleans ano
wait for his fifty per cent discount
until that agent examines the
book and accepts it. If accepted
the book will be paid for; If re
! jected, it will be returned to the
purchaser.
Such regulations, if enforced
are going to cause world o.
trouble, and the contract with thu
State Board of Education, where
IN it is stipulated that "olt
books will be received in ex
change, will be rendered almos
valueless and nugatory.
| It seems to us that it is "ul
to" the State Board to take SOM
action in the premises.
And it might not be amiss TO
our Parish Superintendent, o
President, or both, to give tn
matter their immediate attention
