against the State of Virginia In other

for the same books than other Statss
IT is said now that the discrimination
was proved. The firms involved have
made explanations, and in SOME cases
1t Is understood, concessions. The
new bids have been received at Rich
nond, and Will be considered by the
board at it's meeting this month
The board should have In view two

the books most appropriate for tho use

existing conditions. The other Is to
make the cost to patrons, the parents
or children attending tho schools. as
