BOOK Commission
MAY DEFER ACTION
Present State Contracts Likely To
Be Extended Pending COncIu-
sion of Investigation.

The State Board of Education, sit
ting as the State School Book Com
mission, met in Superintendent Brit
tain's office in the State Capitol
Thursday to consider the matter of
a further contract for books to be
used in the public schools.
After passing upon a lot of routine
business, the board named Professors
Glenn and Woofter to sit with the
Legislative Investigating Committee
Friday.
1t is not thought likely that the
State Board will do anything more
than extend the present contracts,
with a clause making them void upon
the States motion, pending the Leg
isiative investigation now on.
Many book publishing agents have
been in Atlanta several days antiCi-
pating a possible Immediate change
in the status of things, but a change
does not now seem likely.
The State Board, however, may
place the final determination in this
matter in the hands of a subCommit-
tee, which may or may not extend
the present contracts.
After a more or less embarrassing
morning session, the board took a
recess at l o'clock to meet again in
the afternoon at 3 80.

This was comforting to Frances

refused to take another ride down the
hill, though Elmer coaxed.

The evening following the tobogan-
ming experience, Frances was reading
aloud to her aunt when a loud knock
sounded at the front door, and she an
swered the summons TO find standing
before her big Roy Singleton.

II had the happiness of meeting
Miss Kennedy last evening, and now I
want to induce her to take another
try at tobogganing," explained Roy as
he entered.
Aunt Flossie looked surprised, for
she had heard nothing of the encoun-
ter. Frances had told her that she
found coasting uninteresting.
But with Roy on the scene the
whole affair was soon made clear to
her. and she laughed unrestrainedly
at his account Of the fleeing Elmer
and his valiant pursuer.
II don't see how you could call such
an incident uninteresting, she told
Frances. 81 thought you had been I'M

Roy's pleading was ably seconded

people started for the long hill,

they reached the summit. "Oh, l say,

That evening began a new era for
Frances and Roy. 1t was not many
weeks before the straightforward
young man said to her. Ever since
