OF the skirt also show ornament in
embroidery. The result is a gown of
elegance, but one which will wear ex-

as long as it lasts, and this appeals to
all women with more or less limited
incomes. The embroidery can be done

Atlanta. Ga, July T. - Cheaper
school books for Georgia through Il
scheme of state supervision of the
printing of the texts, following the
system successfully worked in the
Canadian province of Ontario, is the
plan and purpose of Representative
C. R. McCrory, of Schley county, who
has introduced in the house both a
bill and resolution seeking to carry
his ideas into effect.
This campaign for a reduction IN
the cost of school books, certain TO
be met with the opposition of book
concerns, and regarded more or less
unkindly by state school authorities
promises to provoke the sharpest
fight of the legislative session Of
the present year.
Already Representative McCrory
who declares that he came to the leg
islature with the single purpose ot
Kidding the state of the expensive
luxury of what he terms the school
book trust and to reduce the cost ot
text books to the people of the state
has marshaled to his side some of the
most influential members of the gem
eral assembly.
1T may take five years really to az
complish a reduction in the cost OF
school books in this state, but it viii

about | will consider have served the
state WELL" said Representative Nc
Crory.
Since his election to the legislature
he has probed deep into the cost OF
school books and has reached the con-
clusion that Georgians are paying
several hundred per cent too muon
for common school books, such as
readers, arithmetics, examiners, etc.

His solution to the problem is found
in the system in vogue in the cana

MCRORY STARTS FIGHT
FOR CHEAPER BOOKS
State Supervision of Publication is the Plan That is
Being advocated by Him

Canadian educational statistics, show
that the people pay from Is to 20
cents less per volume than they do in
Georgia.
In 1908 the legislative assembly Of
Ontario passed law taking over the
printing of the provinces school
books. The province let the contracts
on the basis of competitive bids AMI
the cost to the people of Ontario was
reduced to a remarkable degree
A brief comparison of the cost CT
primers and graded readers in On
tario and Georgia served at once to
show the apparent strength of Repre-
sentative McCrory's position. The fig
ures which follow are furnished in the
1911 report of the cost of text books
in the province of Ontario and the
cost of books in Georgia furnished by
the American Book Company in Geor-
gia now.
Ontario prices:
Primer, 90 pages, cents.
First reader, 126 pages. cents
Second reader, 224 pages, cents.
Third reader, 352 pages, IA cents.
Fourth reader, 416 pages, 16 cents.
These books are we'll printed, firm

Georgia prices:

Fourth reader 352 pages. So cents.
The Ontario arithmetic is sold 10

THE argument that the quality OF

Ontario experiment. The Ontario
books are as good, if not superior ia

The resolution introduced by Rep
