CATS ECONOMY
By Neglecting His Duties, He Com
pels School Patrons to Buy for
This Year Two Sets of Books
Lakeland Telegram)


After one month of the school term
has been completed in Lakeland, and
after the lapse of various periods,
from two to four weeks in different
communities of the state, the gov
ernor has finally issued his proclama-
ton announcing that contracts have
Eeen entered into for the furnishing
of text books. 1t required this procla-
nation to complete the adoption of
the text books, and because it was
delayed the books are not even yet
available. The state school authori-
ties gave permission to begin the
term with the books used last term,
and the people in many instances
bought these books. Now they will
be compelled to buy the new outfit,
being forced to buy two sets of books
for one term.
1t is a most deplorable instance Of
official inefficiency and neglect, which
affects ali the children of the state
and which has placed burden of un-
necessary expense upon the people.
A prominent educator of the state
furnishes US with the following facts
in the case, which will show where
the responsibility belongs:
