pointed for the purpose reported on the

This school is the only one in the
Black Hills where school texts are fur

has proven itself unsatisfactory.
l. Because it develops habits of care
lessness on the part of the children in
the use of books.
2. No means is provided for keeping
the text books in good condition.
3. There is no means whereby the
pupils may be compelled to preserve
their books.

it is just the thing for the blue ores of
