About School Books.

The Dillon Herald suggests tnat
when the State Board of Education
meets in Columbia next mcath to re-
new the contracts for handling text
books they should maize some
changes in the present system. The
Herald says the system now in use
is altogether impracticable and
points out why it thinks SO.
In the first place dealers are com
PEELED to handle books on 10 per
cent commission basis and It is need
less to say that the dealer finds the
school book business uEprofitabie.
The State depository receives ten per
cent or all books sold by the county
depositories and the margin of profit
is not large enough to- pay the ex-
penses Of handling the books.
The Herald thinks that the State
depository should be abolished and
county repositories should be allowed
to order books direct from the pub
fishers, and says If soTe Change ID
not made in the preset system that
will give the retail repositories an
opportunity to make reasonable
profit on the books it will be hard
matter to find responsible dealers u
handle the books next season.
The school book question. Is a hard
question to solve to the satisfaction
of the various interests engaged in
the attempt to solve it. All are
agreed that the books should be fur
nished to the children at the very
lowest possible price, and the ques-
tion is which is the best plan by
which this can be done satisfactorily
and expeditiously.
AS the Herald says, there is nc
profit to the dealer the way the books
are handled now. The reason of this
is because the discount of twenty pei
cent is divided between the State and
the County repositories, each receiV'
ing ten per cent. If dealers were al
lowed to buy direct from the pub
fishers, they could make twenty pei
cent, which would pay them very
we'll indeed.
AS the price of each book fol
which it must be sold to the children
is printed on it, this co'tld be done
il responsible dealers could be found
In all the towns where books are
needed, whom the publishers would
be willing to trust with handling
their books on commission. Possibly
it would be best to let the dealer
make his own terms with the pub
Usher.
With the retail price It the books
safeguarded as they are under the
present law, the State depository car
be abolished without interfering In
the least with the aling of the
books. Responsible dealers would be
found in each county. who could
easily furnish the books at the prices
printed on them to teachers prepaid
either by express or post.

sue. AS the Spartanburg Herald
says, aside from the moral effect OF
such a campaign, the beautifying ef-
feet, and the educational value of
such a demonstration, the following
good results are sure to follow N
some degree:
1. Fewer flies during the spring
and summer.
2. Fewer mosquitoes this summer
therefore
LESS typhoid, malaria, and hook

4. Freedom from disgusting odors
from your own or some other back
yard.
5. General improvement in the ap-
pearance and santa y tone Of your
home town.
6. The advertising value to you
and your town which such a clean up
day will bring

The decision of the post Office de-

will doubtless meet with the approval
of most people. Sometimes there Is
a good deal of unconscious selfish

ing Of we'll nigh every post office open
on Sundays and its clerks at work
distributing mail. People do not
think how those employees would
welcome Sunday as day off from
labor that they may spend with their
families.

All unconsciously some children

things from their parents. Not that

nothing is farther from their

to get dangerously near the edge of
a falsehood, and this the child

Some young men want to get on in
the world and some, evidently, do
not. The man who has ambition,
who puts his conscience into his work
and does his best will ultimately get
to the front. But the man who IS
always watching the clock to see
when leaving off time comes, who
takes no pride in his work, and who
is not interested in his employers
welfare, will make no progress; he
will end his career pretty much as he
began it. 1t is impossible to find in
the ranks Of highly successful men a
single one who gained his success by
dilatory and slipshod methods.
