SUPPLIES NOT SOLD
AT WHOLESALE PRICES
Capt. Oyster Answers Inquiry Fol-
lowing Complaint Of Merchants
About Schools.

Stationery, drawing materials and other
school supplies are not bought at whole
sale prices by the high schools and sold
to the pupils, according to a communica-
ton sent today to District Auditor Twee-
dale by Capt James F. Oyster, president
OF the board of education.
Merchants in the vicinity of the Nc
Kinley Manual Training School recently
protested that pupils were permitted to
buy supplies from the schools at whole
sale prices. thereby deprfving the dealers
Of their rightful profits. The matter was
looked into by Auditor Tweedale who
addressed a communication on the sub
ject to Capt. Oyster.
In his reply Capt. Oyster said that he
was convinced in advance that no such
practice was permitted but that never
theless he caused an inquiry to be made
by all the school authorities concerned
in the custody or distribution Of school
supplies to ascertain IL there was any
foundation for the charges. The answer
of all these officials, he said, clearly in
dictated there was none.
Auditor Tweedale replied to Capt Oys-
ter today by saying that he also was
convinced that the practice does not
exist. but that he desired to have the
statement made In writing.

IN HARMONY WITH SCHEME.
Chairs and Tables Of Special Design
for Department Messengers.

Oak chairs and tables Of special design
are being provided for the small army OF
messengers In the State, War and Navy
Department building. They were design
ed to present a general effect of neatness
and to harmonize with the general color
scheme of light buff, recently adopted for
the interior of the building. The chairs
have high, curved, Slated backs. saddle
seats, arms with curved elbows and large
square legs. They were purchased at a
cost of $546 each. The hind legs have a
curved piece of brass at the bottom which
discourages all efforts to tilt the chairs
back. In fact, both tables and chairs are
made SO that while they may be backed
against the base of washboard, no part
of them will come in contact with the
walls The high backs Of the chairs are
designed also to prevent the occupants
from resting their heads against the
walls.
Although the chairs are far more COM
Portable than The old straight-backed
chairs of the Puritan days, they are
proof against lounging or sprawling and
practically compel the occupant to as
sumo an alert, vigilant and military at
titude while awaiting calls from the Off
Gals. The new furniture will replace
the heterogeneous collection of chairs and
tables Of all styles and colors and of va
rying degrees of age and dilapidation.
which now disfigure the marble-tiled and
brilliantly Illuminated corridors of the
big granite Office building.
Capt Grant. superintendent of the
building, is credited with the innovation.
