FOR FREE TEXT BOOKS.
Correspondent .Fayors Law for South
Carolina Public Schools.

ShFOunai fuHlc SCHOOLS
The following letter has been re-
ceived by w. r. Bradford OF Fort
Mill, member OF the General Assem-
bly, for York county. .. relative to the
bill which he recently announced he
would introduce at the 1923 session
OF that body, providing free text
books for use In certain grades Of the
public schools of the State. For rea-
sons in which the reader would not
be interested the name OF the author
Of the letter Ia withheld:
"A you know, the law requires that
children of certain ages must 60 to
school, and It seems to be universal
where such law is in effect that 1t
is just that school books be furnished
free. p
Statistics show that the States
which have free text books have a
smaller percentage OF illiteracy than
where the children are forced to pur-
chase their own books. Statistics also
show that where t he children are
forced to buy their books there is q
constant change in the text. AS a
matter OF fact, in one Of our largest
cities, Cleveland. Ohio, last year the
board 6f education made. Sc changes
in its text books during the year.
Many Of these changes were only re-
yised editions, but It forced the sddi-
tional buying OF books and kept the
children from trading their second
hand books or obtaining any value
for them. 1t has been said also that
books are being sold at higher
price than ever before, at 20 to 100
per cent increase over what they
were a few years ago.
'The city of Cincinnati, Ohio, of
fers very good example Of free text
books. They have been in use there
for 20 years and they find that the
initial cost Of installing free text
books is 69, cents per, capita Of the
school enrolment; the second year
Sc cents and the third year II cents.
They figure that the average life OF
book is five years. or course II

mutilated, the pupil Is required to

report that they also say that all
books are kept covered with q tough
paper cover. This, they say, in
creases the life Of the book about 80
per cent. $3.50 d.. 'F.
"A you know. the city of Philadel-
phia was the first city in America
to furnish free text books, and that
was In 1919. The State OF Pennsyl-
vania has been furnishing free text
books for many years, as have also
a great many Of the Eastern States.
California also stands out as one Of
the free text book States. The State
OF Texas has been furnishing free
text books for three years, furnishing
all the books used in the public
schools. We feel certain that within
the next ten years all the States In
the Union will be furnishing free
text books. No doubt you feel the
same way and for that reason are
anxious that your State shall be
among the first In the South to point
the way to better education and to a
higher plane for your coming gener-
ation."
