CITY ENTERS FIELD
+. TO SELL SUPPLIES
TO SCHOOL PUPILS
Board Believes There viii Be a
Big Saving to Parents If Sys-
tenn Is Adopted Change in
Courses of Study Considered.


PenS and. pencils are, a small item
with the individual pupil in the public
schools, but their sale, as far as the
small stores are concerned, will be
practically nil if the scheme consid-
cred by the committee on text books
and course of study of the board of
school inspectors yesterday material
ICES.
The board proposes to be the dealer.
and it intends to supply the pupils of
the st. Paul schools with a grade of
pens and pencils that will be much
better than those now on the market,
and, what is of more interest to the
parent. at a less cost than the regular
dealers charge.
The committee yesterday considered
offers from several manufacturers of
these articles who want the sole privi-
lege of furnishing the ST. Paul schools
with their goods, but no decision was
reached.
The pens used by the pupils now are
purchased at any store and cost
cent apiece. If the board decides to
enter the field the pupil will get about
three for cent and an article that
VIII have guaranty back of it. The
same applies to pencils. Where they
cost 5 cents now, the price the board
VIII probably be able to make will be
about e-half.res
Dealers sWIlt Lose.
To the small dealers the loss of this
business means considerable. It means
a reduction in their revenues Of nearly
$1,000. 1t is estimated that the pupils
of the St. Paul public schools use close
to 10000 pens. every school year and
nearly twice that number Of lead pen
ellis. - =
The greater part of the committees
( time yesterday, afternoon was taken
up With hearing, delegations on the
proposed changes in the course of
study and the Introduction of new fea-
lures. Of the latter probably the de-
mand of delegation headed by Otto
Kueffner that German be taught in the
sixth, seventh. and eighth grades Of
the public schools, was the most i'm
portant. Mr.. Kueffner7 informed the
committee that a large percentage Of
st. +PauPS taxpayers wanted the study
Quite number of the principals Of the
schools were heard, on the proposition
to enlarge the scope Of Industrial train
Ing In the schools. They advised less
: technical training in music and draw
ing and more time given to industriaF
work
The entire work of the committee
was of an executive. nature, considera-
ton of the new studies and the hearing
OF the several teachers and delegations
being behind closed doors. At the close
the COMMITTEES announced that it had
not reached any conclusion, but would
wait until another meeting to decide.
Supt. Smith says the proposed
changes will not cost the pupils a cent.
There will be no new books to buy or
