CLASH ON BOOKS
Contracts for School Reader
Texts To Be Let.
Question of Manuscripts or
Plates To Be Decided.

School book publishers and authors
from every section of the country are
in Topeka today to attend the letting
of state contract for manuscripts or
plates for the new readers to be used
in Kansas schools. The new books in
clude the first, second, third, fourth
and fifth readers. Nearly 10000 of
these readers are to be printed in the
next few months at the state printing
plant.
Two Kansans-Miss Lizzie Wooster
of Salina and ]. w. Searson of Man
hattan-want the contract for the new
books. They are the only Kansans
who have offered manuscripts. Seven
other bidders represent publishing
houses or authors in other states.
The contract which will probably be
let this afternoon, is the biggest single
school contract awarded under the
new law providing for state publica-
ton of school books. In the letting,
there is a warm fight between the
members who favor purchase of
manuscripts or plates. Several mem
bers of the commission are openly op-
posed to manuscripts. They want
plates and a continuity of texts from
one grade to another. They also point
to the fact that the state employees
will dodge the task of editing manu-
scripts where plates are used. Another
will save much time in the printing of
the new books.
Chance for Dispute.
1t will require six months for the
new books to season" after they come
from the press and bindery. All of
these things are to be considered by
the members of the commission in
making their choice and there is every
chance of a warm dispute before the
contract letting is settled.
There is still another thing. Presi-
dent Waters of the State Agricultural
college, President Butcher of the Nor
NAL, and Superintendent Ross prefer
the purchase of a high grade reader
even if it costs more than the present
selling price of readers. That propo-
sition also encountered a few snags.
w. r. Smith, state printer, would like
to make a showing on the saving of
school book expense and he has a de-
cided following in favor of a reduc-
ton in the cost of school books.
I'VE can buy good books cheap"
one member of the commission said
today only an expert school man
could tell the difference between the
highest price books and some that cost
much less. For all practical purposes.
there is little if any difference. The
difference in the bulk cost will mean
a good many thousands of dollars to
the school patrons of the state"
As soon as the plates for the new
readers can be prepared, the presses
in the state printing plant will start
the printing of the new readers. Not
until the entire run of 400, 900 is COM
pleted, will the work stop. Then the
books will be bound and permitted to
season" until time for distribution.
