Mir. Editor: The whole matter of free text books and supplies turns up on the question whether the state, municipality or village believes in do- ing a retail business for the benefit of a very few individuals where a whole sale business for the benefit of the community would save hundreds or thousands of dollars. From a purely business standpoint. which is the more advantag geous to the general public? If the town, county or state purchased the books. the best terms with pur- chasers would be available while now the publishers, middlemen and retail CTS have a slice in the profits of every book purchased by the parent for the child. By having the town make the purchase direct, two profits would be eliminated and more would be saved. as the books would be retained for several years by different sets Of pu 1ils, requiring only repairing and re- binding
 It is understood that business inter- ests will do all they can to have the grasp or graft of the middlemen and retailers retained on the profits from book peddling. but from the viewpoint of the interests of the community at large the great economy of the pro- posed plan is plainly evident to the unbiased mind.
 In Norwich last year one man paid from s3t to s33 for books for his four children Another man with four chil- dren in lower grades paid S1450. In Groton the books are furnished and cost the community less than 35 cents ger capita.
 Permit correction to an editorial in Saturdays issue which infers that the text book and district consolida ton questions are to come before the town meeting for action. They do not come
