STATE SCHOOL BOOKS
People Not Ad, quately Pro
tected in the Matter of
Prices.

Chairman Byrd. OF the school book
investigating committee raised by the
last general assembly. under the fol-
lowing joint resolution has prepared
his report. which will be submitted
to the present body.
Resolved by the house of delegates
the senate concurring. That Joint
committee of the general assembly be
appointed--one by the president OF
the senate and two by the speaker
of the househ of delegates. This com.
mittee 10 sit during the recess of the
general assembly and to inquire as
follows:
LIST. Is the price OF school books
required TO be used in the public
schools of Virginia higher than III
any other state. anJ If SO, why?
End. Could the State, with due
consideration to economy, publish
the school books used by the public
school pupils?
3rd. Are The profits of the school
book publishing companies exorbi-
tant, and If so, is there any remedy
for this condition?
The committee shall have power
to call witnesses. examine them on
oath and require the production of
books, papers and contracts.
The report is detailed and volum-
inous and among the salient presen-
tations are these:
"The State Board of Education III
1904 did not, in the opinion of your
committee, sufficiently safeguard the
interests of the State in the mater of
prices.
Even after what We believe was
the initial mistake of the multiple
list the board could. we believe. by
proper care, have gotten better
prices. The evidence before your
committee given By the members OF
the board themselves indicates that
little or no attention was PAID 10
prices A, the vry moment of tho
adoption of 1904 the publishing
houses were offering the same books
for less money to the State of Mis-.
sissippi.
Your committee believes 1t to be
against sound public policy to per-
nit the adoption of any book or Cd
ucational appliance written or owned
by any person connected with the
public school system of tho State.
This is Illustrate by the fact that
Thomas spelling blank was adopted
In 1904 at tho price of eight cents
when the evidence before your com
mittec shows that just as good a
spelling blank for practical purposes
could be furnished at four cents.
"A careful consideration of the
contract entered into between The
state Board OF Education and the
publishers has convinced us that this
contract does not adequately protect
the people OF this State. It is not
sufficiently definite and specific in
lis requirements and it gives no en-
forceable remedy TO the State in case
of its breach by the publishers.
We do not at this time consider
this Estate publication OF its school
books practical because the State
has not now the necessary machin-
ery for such work for either physi.
cal or PERSONAL. The State. for IN
stance. owns no copyrights and would
lave TO select and purchase them.
AState list would almost necessarily
mean an entirely new list. Writer'S
must be employed and expert prac-
teal text book men mast edit and
make the books teachable. and these
ind other things necessary to be
done should not be done without long

and intelligent preliminary work.

and intelligent preliminary work.
The question Should. however,
remain open to me to be considered
as a possible alternative to exorbitaut
oxaitions.
1T is hut fair answering question
81 to the publishers to say that they
claim that the cost of introducing
their books is very great and that
the profit is subject to the ordinary
discount to the dealer of twenty per
cent. Yet even considering tho
dealers discount the profit is con-
siderably more than 200 per cent,
In considering the cost of adop-
ton we bark back to the question of
the single and multiple list. Under
the multiple principle the costs OF
adoption are certainly very great. it
was claimed as before stated that the
cost of the adoption Of 1904 10 the
publishers was upwards of 100000,
and il WAS only ordinary business
prudence which required this cost
10 be added TO the COS. of production.
But any system which would require
the publishes to deal with single
body of men such as the State Board
Of Education, would eliminate This
great cost factor, an fair dealing
would require that the people have
the benefit OF it's elimination.
Having reached the conclusion
that whatever may be the theoretical
advantages of allowing every county
or city TO select t.. own choice of
text books for use in the public
schools, thereby imposing upon the
patrons of these schools in Virginia
what is popularity known as the null
tiple list system of school book Sc
lection, your committee believes that
in view OF the conditions existing in
the Commonwealth, 1t Is advisable
that the State Board of Education
should adopt a single list OF text
books for uniform use at least in all
primary public schools Of the State
However. to pass such sing.c
list from the present multiple LIST
now in force would at one stroke
again burden the school patrons in
every county with change of hooks.
which Is one of the chief evils of tho
multiple list system.
IL would be advisable to make the
change from the present multiple
list 10 standard single list TO he
adopted by Il g State Boanl OF lSdu-
cation and put in force along the fol-
lowing lines:
First. Have the Slate Barl of
Education adopt standard single
ff IT,,
the selection of the books upon this
single list. those books at present
most largely used in the school of
the State should be preferred
whenever these Looks are satisfac.
tory text books.
Second. IN those countries where
the adoption of the single list rem
ders changes necessary, such changes
should be made upon some gradual
plan.
IN conclusion the report says:
"'rllat the Coz of text books even
in single list states are too high can
not be doubt d. II IL easier to state
the fact Than to suggest the remedy.
but tie remedy certainly lies in tho
direction of tho single list, intelli-
gent bargaining on the part of the
State. an effective machinery for dis
tribution and no changes lsxcept
where It is imperatively necessary.
Obvious combination among the pub
listers or persistence in undulyl
exorbitant charges should be fought
