When school opens on the 1lth, 1t
would save time and make it easier for
the teacher to get the school machinery
running if school books could be pur-
chased the week before. In order that
parents may know what is expected, /
am telling them here about the new
books needed and the exchange prices
for them, and in another article | will
give list of all the books needed for
each grade.
