TABLET MONOPOLY
IS KNOCKED OUT
Scheme Of Frisky School Agent
Thwarted by Superintendent
Hayden.

Prompt action on the part of Supt
of Schools H. B. Hayden this morning
put a quietus on a clever move of an
agent for certain kind of blank tablet
such as is used in the public schools
to force the pupils to purchase the
same through certain agencies and
only at certain prices.
The agent some time ago saw some
of the members of the board of educa-
ton with reference TO the adoption OF
a uniform tablet in the public schools,
and presented a sample of the one he
represented, which seemed to meet all re,
quirements. and although the board took
no action binding the pupils to the use
of any particular kind, the teachers
were permitted to recommend one style
in the interests of uniformity.
During the past few days, however
it has been discovered that the agent
had established headquarters at
but five different stores. where
the tablet could be found. and in these
only at a uniform price. and creating
adopted it as a standard.
Heretofore tablets have been
sold by storekeepers in gen
eral and in many of the outly-
ing districts have been given to Gus
toners at a discount and often gratu-
itously. Accordingly there were many
expressions of disapprovel from all Sec
lions of the city when the purport of
the supposed new rule was understood.
But information of it had no sooner
reached Superintendent Hayden than
he issued a circular to all teachers no
tifying them to inform the pupils thai
no particular tablet had been adopted
by the board of education and that
while uniformity was the aim, pupils
had the option to purchase whatever
tablets they might see fit and wher-
ever they might choose.
