CnmnInin of nook Agents.

The present County Normal institute has
brought forth a vigorous protest from
many OF the teachers, especially those en-
gagged In the country schools, against the
constant advice OF the instructors to pur-
chase technical books
The protesting teachers, many Of whom
ere receiving salaries OF $50 or less per
month, complain that the instructors fail to
take this into consideration when they ad-
wise and urge them to provide themselves
with additional books The burden, they
say, is too great and makes too great a
drain on their slender incomes. 1t also
makes them, they complain, the prey Of the
obsequious book agent and that from the
moment the institute opens they are be-
sieged by book agents who insist that the
books they offer are those recommended by
the instructors.
One teacher from country school, IN
discussing the matter said:
'snce have attended the institute In
structors have recommended that we pro-
vide ourselves with no less than twenty
books, ranging in price from 81 to 50 cents
The instructors go so far as to urge that
every teacher who expects TO be progress
slye and keep UP with the times so as to
be successful in her calling should provide
herself with these books without fail This
is all very we'll for the city teacher who re-
ceives $50 or even more a month, but we
poor country teachers with our $50 a month
| cannot afford it, II 1 had my way the
book agent would be eliminated from the

are sufficiently confusing to prevent any
definite tendency, although factors calcu-
ponderate. Special sales Of imported pig
iron have been made at concessions, but
this Is attributed to delay in transportation
and a forced sale by owners. Still a few
months ago similar concessions were i'm
possible and 1t Is apparent that the combi-
and conservative buying has taken control
OF the situation away from Eellers, Three
depressing factors have existed-the labor
in prices OF stocks, although all have i'm
proved and may soon cease to exercise any
baleful effect. Meanwhile uncer tainty as
steel products has become generally
acknowledged and even experts IN the In

decrease except as to ore, while the export
trade in finished steel tends to expand.
At the cotton mills there Is fair current
activity although spinners whose stocks
