ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS
WapeIlo County is More Fortunate
Than Some in Iowa.
NO DECEPTION Is POSSIBLE HERE
The Matter is Complicated and Is at
Best Double-Edged Sword, but
This County Is Cut by the Dull
Edge.

Numerous state papers have devot-
ed column after column to the WICKED
ness of Ottumwa, and OttumWans nave
themselves come to think that they
are pretty bad" but it is matter OF
much consolation to find out, once IN
while, that this city is ahead of some or
the others in Iowa in some one IN
stance. One of these cases in the des-
ert of dispair has been discovered and
IL is more than just to the consciepce-
stricken citizens of Wapellos capital
and indeed all the county, that they
be appraised of the good news.
WapelIo Not in Danger.
1t will prove of interest to residents
of this county to know that there is
no danger of any trouble such as has
been encountered in at least one of the
counties of the state, over the matter
of school books. 1t seems that Lynn
county, where the ever pious Cedar
Rapids is located, one dealer has a
right to make an arrangement with
the school board whereby he can sell
all the school books to the children
of the schools, and that other dealers
cannot handle these books. In that
way one fortunate dealer has a cor
ner" as it were, and can charge any
thing ne likes, if he is sufficiently UNI
scrupulous.
Lynn County Trouble.
Now, it seems that some
resident of Cedar Rapids, or of Lynn
county, becoming suspicious of his fell
low mortals, has limited that a fraud
might be practiced in this matter and
the school children and their parents
| might be getting robbed. In Wapello
county. where, according to some OF
| the publications in other cities, all the
wrong of the state is centered, the res
| idents are enabled to rest easy on TINS
score, for in this county any one who
has the requisite amount of capital OF
credit can sell school books, providing
| he can find buyers. Competition is
possible in these lines as much as in
any other, and the school children OF
| this county need fear no combination
whereby they will be forced to pay ex.
horbitant prices for their text books.
The Law.
| The boards of directors of the thin.
| ty.nine rural independent schools and
| in the nine town districts in the coun
| ty are empowered by law to adopt
| text books for the teaching of all
branches that are now or may here
after be authorized to be taught in the
public schools of the state, and to con
tract for and buy said books and any
and all other necessary school sup
plies at said contract prices. and to sell

One Evil.
In Wapello county there is one evil
that could be avoided by the adoption
of this law and its application to this
county. This is owing to the lack Of
uniformity in Wapello county. 1t
sometimes happens that pupil from
one school goes to another for instruc-
ton; perhaps in the same county, but
| in another district. He finds that the
books in the new district are of diff
ferent kind from those he has used at
his former location and trouble natur-
ally arises. He has become used to-
the old book and dislikes to part with
it for one teaching probably some
what different method. There is also
an added expense which is by no means
| desirable.
No Remedy
This matter has been repeatedly
brought up in teachers convention,
but no compromise has ever been dis
covered by the use of which both
evils could be avoided. If the whole
state were to contract for a certain
line of text books there would be the
usual number of "kickers," who would
charge that the school officials had an
arrangement made with the publishers
whereby the former got dividend of
the money realized from the sale of
the books.
