AGENTS NOT PERMITTED TO
CALL DURING SCHOOL SESSION

The attention of County School Su-
perintendent, G. Lloyd Palmer has
been called to the scheme of book
agents, in different sections of the
county, calling on teachers during the
school session, selling literature. The
agents declare that they have permis-
sion from the school authorities to
visit the schools and also that their
books and magazines are endorsed by
the school authorities.
Superintendent Palmer stated that
agents have not had permission to
visit the schools and that they are
violating an established rule interrupt
ing teachers during school session. The
agent offer books for sale at a price
ranging from $40 to $50, with a cash
payment of $40. Some of the teach
ers, it is understood have bought the
books.
Mr.. Palmer stated that a rule was
adopted some time ago against agents
visiting schools and soliciting business
during the teaching hours. He said
teachers should not receive these sales
men unless they presented written
permission from him. The agents have
been operating in Frederick, Lewis
town, and other places and they pre-
sent themselves during school hours
and represent their literature as hav-
ing the endorsement of the school
commissioner He added that in
the event any agent violated this rule
an effort will be made to prosecute
them.

A few days ago the burns had started
