SOME EVILS OF THE NEW SCHOOL
BOOK LAW EXPLAINED

state of fact: The new books are gen.
orally inferior 20 the old in paper
printing and binding, and the subject
matter is so abridged as TO make nee.
csstry much instruction wholly outside
OF the pages II the courses are not 10
be greatly curtailcd.
Change Is Expensive.
The one advantage TO be seen in the
change, which il the smaller actual
cost, Is as yet only doubtful adyant-
age. Any change in text books, even
should the new cost but 80 per cent. a.
much as the old, is expensive. Year by
year families send child to the public
schools. and at the end Of his term hi'
books are stored away carefully I,
await the time when his younger broth
er or sister may 90 over the ground
Old books. including Ilarpcr's readers
Buffers grammars and Whites arith
metics, have been in Use for more thar
fifteen years. and have accumulated il
hundreds of homes.
Price Always High.
The belief of local book handlers i
that the state previously paid an ex
ccssivc price for good quality books
and Is now paying a still more exees
sive price for inferior ones.
