The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-07-01

" 1881. The cost of textbooks is
thus approximately two per cent of the
total cost of maintenance, support, and
equipment. The cost per child on the
school population basis (5-1S years of
age) is SOC cents; the annual per capita
cost of textbooks on the total popula-
ton basis 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 viii
greatly increase the rate of taxation
for school purposes. AS matter of
fact the cost for textbooks is a rela-
lively small item In the total expendi-
ture for school purposes.
Bureau of education officials feel con-
WINGED that the figures obtained afford
a trustworthy statement of the real
facts about the size of the schoolbook
bushes. The forty three firms from
which data were obtained handle prob
ably ninety-nine per cent of the total
textbook sales in this country. Besides
California, Kansas also now prints its
own textbooks, but the plan was not in
operation in 1913.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-07-01
FEW TEXT BOOKS SOLD.
People Have Exaggerated Ideas of
Business Done by Book Companies.

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 OBJ
tanned by the United States bureau of
education from forty-three textbook
publishers in the United States show
that their aggregate total sales of text
books for use in public and private
schools in 1913 amounted to $17, 274, 030
The aggregate for public schools, ele
mentary and high, amounted to $14,-
261, 1853.
The total enrolment in public ele-
mentary and high schools for the year
was approximately 18,609, 040. Elk
Guiding the elementary school en-
rollment of California, since Califor-
MIA prints its own elementary books,
the number becomes 18,213,786. For
each child enrolled in the public schools
in the Uuited States, therefore, the
total annual sale of textbooks is 1873
cents. The total expenditure per child
for all school purposes is approximate

with rake the top dressing that has
been applied the fall before. After re-
moving this it is usually advisable to
apply some fertilizer, even though the
soil is already reasonably fertile. One
of the very best fertilizers for the lawn
in the spring is nitrate soda, but on
account of its quick action and its
caustic effect extreme caution should
be used in its application. Five pounds
of nitrate of soda are sufficient for
1000 square feet of lawn, and if ap
piled in solution with the watering pot
and the grass then thoroughly watered
with hose, there is little danger of
scalding. Bone meal is probably the
best commercial fertilizer to use on a
lawn, considering the danger from the
misuse of nitrate of soda Bone meal
can be used without taking any special
caution in its application, as it is in no
way injurious to the grass. Eight
pounds to 1000 square feet is liberal
application. Any commercial fertil-
izer that is used should be applied early
in the spring when the grass begins to
grow. In fact, bone meal can be used
to advantage every month during the
growing season, except perhaps July
and August Fertilizing through the
season is especially beneficial in keep
ing the grass stimulated at times when
it would otherwise be more or less in
active. Pulverized limestone as top
dressing is very helpful, and an appli
cation of this substance can be made
either in the fall, winter, or spring
Lime corrects the acidity of the sur,
face soil and is useful in checking the
growth of moss and various other
plants that are detrimental to the grass.

NEED OF MORE FACILITIES
Amount Of Space at the University for
Each Student Is Considerably Less
Than it Was Ten Years Ago-Propos-
ed Buildings Are Badly Needed.

An increase Of 100 per cent in the
last ten years in the attendance at the
University of Wisconsin has brought
about such need for greater building
facilities, that despite the erection of
a large number of new buildings the
university has less space today in pro-
portion to the number of students than
it had in the years 1875 to 1898.
This fact is shown in the report upon
the university of the State Board Of
Public Affairs, recently issued.
This university has expended more
money for buildings in the last ten
years than in all the rest of it's history.
Construction work during this time has
represented an outlay of $2,018,508.12.
Yet many of the departments are so
grievously crowded that it is difficult
to turn out the best kind Of work for
the constantly increasing classes. This
condition is especially true in the phys
les department and the medical school,
which are crowded into small dark
quarters in Science hall and the Chem
ical Engineering building, and which
have not enough laboratory space to
give the needed amount of laboratory
work to students. It was for the pur-
post of increasing the facilities of
these departments that the university
asked Of the legislature the appropri-
alton for the new physics building. The
erection of this structure would bring
the facilities of these courses up to
their proper grade.
The careful checking required by the
university and the state before the
erection Of new buildings is shown in
the following description of the rou-
tine procedure regarding requests for
new buildings as described in the re-
port Of the Board Of Public Affairs:
'fThe need of important new build
ings is regularly brought to the atten-
tion of the regents by the president, as
these needs develop, and the regents,
after careful study of the problem,
through their Institutional development
committee and full board, make formal
request of the legislature for appropri-
atoms for the specific purposes desired.
eff the appropriations are passed
by the Legislature, the regents direct
the university architect to prepare pre-
liminary plans which are later sub
mitted to the consulting architects of
the university. These plans are stud
led in detail by all of the university de-
partments concerned in order to insure
meeting all reasonable demands.
"The CONSTITUTIONAL development
committee of the board of regents with
the business manager, spend great
deal of time in studying all the details
of location of proposed buildings, the
plans and the specifications. After
these have been approved by the board
of regents, the advertisement for bids
is authorized. When the bids are re-
