.cWHAT'S MATTER WITH TEXAs:r
Camp Cody. y. n, Sept 70.
Editor Fl Paso Herald:
A saving Of 40 per cent-some saw
ing-is made on text books for Kan
sas schools What's the reasone The
state Of Kansas owns its own print
ing plant and prints It's own school
text books
This is a big economy. And eff
ciency2 Kansas has that. too There
are about a million text books lying
ready in the state printing plant for
prompt delivery TO the school chill
dren. This fully supplies the demand
all over the state, and every pupil IN
every school. city and country, viii
get the necessary books
Twenty six different texts have
been printed, including almost every
text in school use Since the adoption
Of state printing Of school books in
1913, Kansas has equipped itself 10
thoroughly meet the educational de-
mands Of the entire state. This is
progress that cannot be surpassed by
any private corporation.
And the service costs 40 percent
less-don't forget that The state et-
fects this saving by cutting out the
private manufacturer profit and
cutting out a big portion OF the cost
Of marketing All this is done with
out interfering in the least with the
other printing done by the state
plant
And listen 70 this. The 40 percent
saving on school books made by KAN
sas for this year alone amounts to
more than a sum sufficient TO re-
place the present printing plant,
grounds, building and equipment
The state Of Kansas produces better
books for less money than do private
concerns. The best OF workmanship
and material is used. The product is
not cheapened in order to make
profit
There is but one flaw in the Kansas
system. At present the school books
are retailed through private dealers,
and a dealers profit IS added TO their
cost. II is to be hoped that the state
will remedy this by supplying the
school children directly with their
books. through the local school au-
thorities. This would make the saw
ing still greater and would euab bic the
books 10 be sold at the absolute cost
Of producing and shipping them.
As il is, Kansas has furnished an
eloquent and convincing demOnstra-
ton Of the superiority Of state, over
private enterprise Those who do not
believe that the state can do business
as well as private individuals would
DO well TO ponder this.
