Bank Commissioner Resorts to Courts in Effort to Col
 lect Assessments.
JUDGMENT AGAINST
 MURRAY FOR S27, ,5O0
Decision in Favor of Edgar Brew ster. Collector. for Part of Amount on Deposit When Bank Closed
 Last July.

Five suits against as many stock holders of the Bank of Pine Bluff were filed in the circuit court here yesterday by State Banking Commits sioner John NJ. Davis. under authority of Chancellor John Ii. Elliott. The suits are to collect assessments of 100 per cent levied against the stock holders of the bank in order to raise funds sufficient to meet the liabili- ties of the institution.
 The defendants, together with the amounts sued for. representing the holdings of the defendants ia the bank, are:
 w. E. Graham. sS000.
 A. W. Nunn, s350o.
 J. W. Sanders. $500.
 c. W. Pettigrew, $500.
 w C. Hudson, $500.
 The suits were filed on behalf os the bank commissioner by Attorneys Bridges & Woodbridge of Pine Bluff, who have conducted all the legal work in the Bank of Pine Bluff case for the commissioner. and Moore, Smith & Moore of Little Rock. who now appear in the transaction for the first time. The complaints are iden- tical, relating the necessity for the levying of the assessment under pro- visions of section 36 of act 113, and setting forth that the assessments were levied on August IS, 1914, and the defendants so notified.
 Payment Never Requested.
 W. C. Hudson. one of the defend ants, stated last night that requests or demand for the payment of the assessment Of $500 against him had never been made. either by the bank commissioner or attorneys represent ing him.
 q cannot speak for the other four gentlemen" said Mir Hudson. but insofar >as/1 am concerned. no de- mand has ever been made upon me, nor even a request for the amount II was my opinion that a request or demand for payment should besmsd , before suit was filed on any kind of claim. I don't know why l should have been treated in this manner"

:: :: :.:. -: :: :: :: :: :: :: - :: 3:

Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail
concerning the total number OF text
books sold in the United States each
wear and the annual profits resulting
from such sales. Confidential data OBJ
tanned by the United States bureau OF
education from 43 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,O30. The
aggregate for public schools, eIemen-
tary and high, amounted to $14,26l,-
7GS.
The total enrolment in public ele-
mentary and high schools for the year
was approximately 1S,6O9,O4O. EXclud-
ing the elementary school enrolment
of California, since California prints
its own elementary books, the number
becomes lS,212,7S6 For each child en-
rolled in the public schools in the
United States, therefore, the total an
nual sale of test books is 1873 cents.
The total expenditure per child for
all school purposes is approximately
S3S.3l. The cost of text books is thus
approximately > per cent of the total
cost OF maintenance, support, ana
equipment. The cost per child on the
school population basis (5-1S years OF
age) is $50 cents; the annual per capi-
Ia cost of text books on the total popu-
lation basis is less than 10 cents,
These figures indicate that there Is
little ground for the fear sometimes
EXPRESSED that the introduction of free
text books will add greatly to the cost
of the public school system and Will
greatly increase the rate of taxation
for school purposes. As a matter OF
fact. the cost for text books is rela-
lively small item in the total eXpendi'
ture for school purposes.
Bureau of education officials feel
convinced that the figures obtained af-
ford trustworthy statement of the
real facts about the size Of the school
book business. The 43 firms from
which data were obtained, handle
probably 80 per cent of the total text
book sales in this country Besides
California. Kansas also now prints its
own text books, but the plan was not
in operation in 1913.

yerted often into some other substance,
but constituting always either waste
or that which has served its useful pur-
nose and must be eliminated. And the
skin is the principal avenue for escape
of certain acids or poisons. If the skin
and blood be healthy, these wastes pass
off as vapor or perspiratton. But I'M
pure blood loads the skin with eczema.
