THE vERACIoUs BOOK AGENT,
Supt. u. II. Christensen Gives WARNING
To School Patrons.

The activity of book agents through
out the city. who have not been over
particular in combining themselves to
the truth when cXtolling the merits of
the books offered. has caused Supt. ID.
II. Christensen of the city schools To
issue a formal notice to parents with
regard to the matter This notice fol-
lows.
During the last few days several tclc-
phone inquiries have come to this office
concerning some book or set of books
from which 1t is claimed by the agent
that teachers ask questions deterInin-
ing promotion" and sin which pupils
may get correct answers" Such claim
is manifestly fraudulent. The board of
education furnishes all books necessary
for the use of pupils in all prescribed
work and no parent should be led to
believe that any other book or set of
books is essential to the success of
pupils. Certain reference books are of
course occasionally helpful, but their
use Is in no way necessary for promo
ton, nor Is the classroom work based
in any way on reference books. No
person has the right to quote my opin-
ion concerning any book unless he can
adducc II written statement over my
signature, Any claim not so substan-
tiated is likely to be fraudulent and
calculated to deceive, and any clam
that the agent is a public schooltencher
of this city and Is working for and in
the interest of the schools Is of course
manifestly absurd. shall be glad to
hear from persons who have purchased
books or who have been urged to pur-
chase through n mis-statement of facts.

CITY Superintendent of Schools.
