ISOLATION To get the State thoroughly
organized and to encourage educa-
tional work among the apprentices
and the craft in general
The principal object of the new as
sociation, though, is to see that the
people Of Virginia have their pint
Ing done by Virginia printers. While
aatagonizing no outside printing and
publishing houses this new organiza

IN some quarters TO patronfze out-of-

OF the State Board OF Education in
cutting Virginia publishers and print
ers for the benefit of the big pub
fishing houses in the North will re-
ce.ve the attention OF the printers Of
the State. The State Board of Edu-
cation has SO far volunteered no in
formation in the shape of reasons for
making the changes in textbooks for
the coming four years. changes which
will send several million dollars cat
OF the State annually. and the print
ers OF the State arc said to be keep
Ing record Of the men who took
part In that action.
