RAM Coz was recommended as the
standard, but no contract was made
as to it.
The contracts all provide, as the
law requires, that the companies shall
maintain agencies in each county for
the distribution of the books to the
patrons, or the contractors shall be
permitted to make arrangements with
merchants or others, for the handling
and distribution Of the books, and that
parties living in the country where no
agency has been established, or no ar
rangements made for distribution,
may order the same from one Of the
contractors, and it shall be the duty
of the contractor or contractors, to de-
liver any book or boaks, so ordered,
to the person ordering, to his postof-
flee address, freight, express, postage,
or other charges prepaid, at the retail
contract price; provided, the price of
the book or books so ordered shall be
paid in advance.
AS provided by the law, all the con-
tracts for basal books stipulate that
the contractor shall take up school
books now in use in this state, and
receive the same in exchange for
new books, allowing price for such
old books not less than so per cent.
of the contract price of the new book.
1t is required that both the contract
printed on the back Of each book.
The exchange prices on all basal
books are on a so per cent. basis,
with the exception of the Wheeler
Readers. The publishers of these
readers allow a greater exchange
price than 50 per cent. on old books
taken up by them in exchange.
The contracts provide for not only
an exchange of old books of the same
grade, but for exchange of an old
book of lower grade for new book
of higher grade; that is, for illustra-
ton, first reader may be exchanged
for a second or third reader, and the
exchange price Of the first reader will
be allowed on the new book. A cor
responding devotional exchange price
applies to the basal readers adopted
The companies agree in their con-
tracts that until December 1, 1912,
they will take from dealers at the ex-
change price all new books actually
in stock displaced by the state adopt
ed books, provided said books were
purchased prior to July l, 1911.
1t Is provided in the state contracts
that where books being used under
county contracts have been adopted
under the state contracts, such books
shall be furnished in said counties at
the contract price made with the
state, and upon the same conditions
applying to books adopted for state
use, notwithstanding higher price
under county contracts.
All Books Not Required.
The adopted list was made full, in
order that it may be sufficient for any
school in the state; however, no
school is required to have course
of study covering every book on the
adopted list the books that are nee
essary to meet the demands of the
course of study required in the school.
In testimony whereof, have here.
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
at Tallahassee, the capital, this 4th
day of November, "A. D. 1911.
