mind, she failed to notice.

book business are for considerably
longer periods than in almost all
other linesEbut for the moment we
may put that aside and say that
the publisher ultimately receives this
S1.20 for each copy sold. From this
amount we must deduct, in the case
of new author, royalty of at least
10 per cent. of the full retail price
that is. twenty cents. This leaves 81.
The first item TO come out of this
remaining dollar is the manufac-
of this new author we will say that
5000 copies are printed and 1000
copies bound. and that all of them
would be sold in the course of time.
On this basis it would cost approxi-
mately forty-two cents a copy to
manufacture the book-that is. forty
two cents for the materials and labor
used in connection with this particu-
lar book.S That leaves us fifty -eight
cents. 1t is necessary now to pro-
vide for the overhead-that is, the
cost of doing business. expenses OF
administration, rent. &c. In the book
business this overhead is generally
figured at % per cent of the price
received. although some publishers
have proved that their overhead is
nearer 80 per cent. Therefore, we
take % per cent of the $1.20 received
from the dealer-that is, thirty cents
from the fifty-eight cents remain
ing after the cost of manufacture
has been deducted.
This leaves the publisher twenty
eight cents. He must now sell the
book Out of this twenty-eight cents
he must meet the expenses of what
ever advertising campaign he puts
into our new author. Twenty cents
a copy would mean that he had $500
available for advertising purposes
not a large sum for launching our
new author. Twenty cents from
twenty-eight cents leaves the pub
Usher eight cents. after paying for
only the initial $500 worth of adver-
tising Even this cannot be called

copies the publisher must give away
several hundred books for review
and TO buyers and persons in the
trade who must read the book in
order TO aid in its exploitation. These
expenses. of course. the author is
never asked to share. The actual
return to the publisher if every copy
available of the entire edition is
sold-if every dealer pays his bills
on time-if there has been no mad
plunge on advertising every

at meetings addressed by him. She
pays tribute to the uneducated coun-

friendly. Ghandi is pictured as a
small. emaciated figure. wrapped in
a nondescript shawl such as Lincoln
used TO wear, but the horses that
draw his carriage are bedecked with
necklaces and chains of flowers. He
is not an impractical idealist, for he
knows that the ignorant masses of
India can be made to reflect in
multiple images the well thought out
ideas of the leaders. Tagore. who
disagrees with Ghandi's views, stated
TO the writer that his integrity could
not be questioned. Miss Emerson
