THE TEXTBOOK BUSINESS.

Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail!
concerning the total number Of text.
books sold in the United States each
| year and the annual profits resulting
from such sales. Confidential data
obtained by the United States Bureau
Of Education from AZ textbook pub
fishers in the United States show
that their aggregate total sales OF
textbooks for use in public and pri'
vate schools in 1913 amounted to ST.
274,0a0. The aggregate for public
schools, elementary and high, amount,
ed to $14, 26l, 76S. 30
The total enrolment in public ele.
mentary and high schools for the
year was approximately 1S,609,O4o
excluding the elementary school
enrolment OF California, since Cali
fornia prints it's own elementary
books, the number becomes 1929
7S6. For each child enrolled in the
public schools in the United States,
therefore, the total annual sale of text
books is 1873 cents. The total expend-
iture per child for all school purposes
is approximately 1881. The cost of
textbooks is thus approximately 2
per cent Of the total cost Of main
%tenance, support, and equipment. The
cost per child on the school popula-
ton basis (5to IS years of age) is 56!5
cents; the annual per capita cost OF
textbooks on the total population ba-
sis is less than Is cents.
These figures indicate that there is
little ground for the fear sometimes
expressed that the introduction OF
free textbooks will add greatly to the
cost of the public school system and
will greatly increase the rate of tax
alton for school purposes. AS a mat
ter OF fact, the cost for textbooks is
a relatively small item in the total
expenditure for school purposes.
Bureau of Education officials feel
convinced that the figures obtained
afford a trustworthy statement Of the
real facts about the size of the school
book business. The 43 firms from
which data were obtained handle
probably SO per cent of the total text
book sales in this country. Besides
California, Kansas also now prints its
own textbooks, but the plan. was not
lin operation in 1913.

empire had vanished. To-day months
are consumed in storming a line of
trenches and the. old thumb dule of
don't fire until you Ear see the
whites OF the enemy's eyes" is but
an a~nachdonism.
Napoleon was an artillery officer
and realized that the foundation of
his victory must be the strength and
supply Of %projectiles. In that respect
he was ahead Of his opponents. He
had mastered artillery warfare while
many generals opposing him knew
only the rudiments of the game. The
Little Corsican taught the Prussians
the value of big guns which today
have been increased in efficiency by
the descendants of Butcher.
In his mastery description of the
Battle of Waterloo Hugo says:
The orchard, however, was taken.
They fought hand to hand under the
trees. All this grass was soaked with
blood. A battalion from MESSIAH, 100
men, was annihilated there. On the
outside, the wall, against which the
two battedies of Kellermannn were
directed, is gnawed with grape"
And this from the battlefront Of the
present war by way Of comparison;
Our battalion was now exposed to
an enfilading fire from the German
machine guns on our right flank.
More than half our men were down
from the chlorine gas fumes and the
cross fire wiped out the rest. We had
gone in with LOO men. We came
out with a bare 100"
This loss was from an isolated ror-
ton of a great battlefront. At other
points similar losses were taking
place. All in a twinkling of an eye
came these casualties while it took
a day at Waterloo to "annihilate'
700 men.
Today upon the battlefield of wat
erloo, Napoleon would have known
where Grouchy was. Wellington
would have been in constant touch
with Butcher. Air scouts would have
scared aloft signaling where the guns
could do their most deadly work.
Instead of lodging behind trees
and drenching the grass with their
blood, the Old Guard would be in
trenches. In leu or hours, under
present methods of warfare, Water
loo would have lasted weeks and
probably months.
The efficiency Of trenches as a
means Of defense has surprised the
war lords of ,sthe twentieth century
and prolonged war.
Napoleon, Ney. Grouchy, Blucher
and the rest would be forced to learn
again the arts of war should they re-.

JUST A SkIRMISh

Except that the destiny of Europe
depended upon the battle, Waterloo
compared to the battle of the Marine
and others of this war was a mere
skirmish. If the shade of Napoleon
lowered over Flanders upon the CEN
tenary Of his great battle and final
defeat, it must have been impressed
by the fact that the title of "%butcher'
had gone to others.
Wellington hod only 159 guns and
Napoleon but $40.
No one knows the number that
screeched the death dealing shrap-
mel at Marine, before Liege and in a
hundred other places.
y The little giant headed an army Of
only 10000 How long could this
number last before the devastating
canonading of the forty.two cent?
metres or the %enfilading fire Of hun
dreds of guns of smaller size?-
"Such of our balls killed six men,"
wrote Napoleon in n of his reports
to the Directory.
This fails to stir the imagination
now when one bomb dropped from
the air can kill ninteen or twenty
and the lurking submarine sends
thousands to a watery grave.

EQUITY HAS
NOTHING YET
CONTINUE from page one)
Objects Of Equity.

The. objects and purposes Of the
Equity 5Co-operatlve Exchange outlin
cd by George s., Lotus in his testi
mony in the mandamus suit and IL
hts speech at Oberon, \. d., Feb. -
1915, and from clippings from the CO
operators Herald, are as follows:
ITO improve the marketing condi
tons for the farmer; to place the
producers in direct touch with the
consumers; to do away with the mid
dleman's profit and avoid transfer ex
pense; to sell grain to, outside par
ties, and allow the shipment to &C
through to destination in the Original
cars, thus insuring for the buyer viz
gin wheat as it comes from the coun.
try; as a general proposition receiv'
ing a premium over the prices obtain
ed by members of the Chamber OF
Commerce, only n commission paid
and brings the shipper the highest
prices. The Equity Cooperative EQui
ty Exchange is not connected with the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
or the Duluth Board of Trade. 1t is
absolutely independent"
The testimony and affidavits pre-
scented show these statements to be
false and only a theory, and that the
farmers dealing with the Exchange
are being %defrauded daily under these
false representations. The evidence
given by Nels Enge is a practical de
NAL of such representations on the
part of Lotus and others. Enge was
in the employe of the Equity Elk
change up to July I, 1914, at a salary
of $3.50 per month as salesman. .Enge
left the employee of the Exchange
about the time it moved to st. Paul,
He at that time organized what was
known as the Independent Grain
company. The fact Of the matter was
that he remained in Minneapolis and
acted as a commission merchant for
the Exchange, instead Of a salaried
employee,
Grain Marketed.
While Enge was on a salary he sold
large quantities Of grain consigned tc
the Equity to members of the Cham
Der of commerce. which is anothe.
evidence that Lotus statements as
to the objects of the Exchange are
deceitful and false.
Enge further testified in connec'
ton with these deals that as a gen.
eral rule the prices offered by the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce were less at the time than the
prices offered on the floor Of the
Chamber; that he understood as the
reason for this that it was so the
members of the Chamber could real.
ize a commission on the trade also,
this proves c%onclusively that the
Equity Exchange really had to depend
upon marketing its grain through the
members of the Chamber of Com.
merce, or at least a large portion OF
it. The Equity, by handling the grain
in this name cheated and defraud.
ed the shipper out of the difference
between what Enge paid the Exchange
and the price paid for the same grain
at the same time on the floor of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The Equity would report the price
to the shipper as paid by Enge less
one cent per bushel commission, a
plain violation of the objects and pur
poses as outlined by Lotus, a false
return to the shipper, besides an &C
tual loss to the shipper by dealing
with the Equity, who were taking
more than double commission from
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-06-22

If he could resell them on the floor
OF the Chamber; that he submitted
this fact to Lotus, who instructed
him to sell them out Of town at the
lesser price; that he sold, themst to
the Listman Milling company Of La
Crosse, Wis, thereby losing three
cents per lbushel on these three cars
to the shipper. 1t would seem that
this at least was a fraudulent practice
to cover up the failue Of the selling
methods Of this corporation and the
shipper paid the freight, as usual.
