plain: Arkansas adopted different edition of the
books except the Sixth Seventh and Eighth Readers
These books exactly the same price IN Arkansas
as in Mississippi. From the Primer, through the
Fifth Reader is different edition. and the Mlssls-
sippi books are all larger than the Arkansas edition
South Carolina adopted the Primer and First
Reader in two forms; the Primer and First Reader
bound separatey and the Primer and First Reader
together The Second Reader adopted by South Caro-
lima was also special edition and different from both
the Arkansas and Mississippi books.
The Johnson Publishing Company is perfectly
WILLING to furnish Mississippi with either the Arkan
sas or South Carolina edition of Readers if she pre-
fers to them.
Yours very truly,
JOHNSON PUBLISHING COMPANY.
By Andrew Johnson, Jr., President
Woodley quotes the figures for Alabama on the
1918 adoption Why doesn't he quote figures on this
years adoption which shows that Alabama Will ac-
tuay pay more this fall for the Childs World Read
ers than Mississippi or Arkansas?
THE ARITHMETICS
Woodley saws that the Colaw-D Duke & Powers
Arithmetics were readoped at advance OF l29 per
cent AS matter of fact the cheapest book that was
offered adopted and if the arithmetic offered Dy
Woodley's Company had been adopted the people OF
the state would have paid thousands OF dollars more
for Arithmetcs than they are now paying. Compare

It will be seen that the Commission saved nine
cents on each elementary arithmetic and twentyeght
cents on each advanced artihmetca total saving to
the State for five year period OF S6O,O0OOO on
Arithmetics alone.
WOODLEY DENIES THAT HE APPEARED BE-
FORE THE TEXT BOOK COMMISSION IN 1920
Why doesn't Woodey tell the people the truth
and explain that he did appear before the l922 Com
mission which was made up Of identicaly the same
men as the 1920 Commission, representing CHM Co.
and urged them to adopt General Science book at
$2O7, although this book had been sold in the state
for five years at $141 The Commission adopted just
as good book at $1.39.
Woodlev saws his first official act will be to bring
suit against the Text Book companies and force them
to lower prices Does Woodey expect to sue CHM 4

Co.. for whom he worked for months and whose
books he introduced in more than fifteen counties IN
South Mississippi?
Woodey promises to save $25OO00 year
Text Books The total sales on state adopted books
last year was $4O4OO Does Woodley expect to save
$25OOOO on 100000 sale? He knows that he can
not do this any more than he could force down the
price of sugar shoes.
Woodey saws he will eliminate the large number
of supplementary books. Why does this man deGber-
atey attempt to deceive the people of Mississippi in
regard to this matter? Every teacher and every trus
tee in the state knows that the supplementary list
is published purely for the guidance and help of the
teachers and trustees and the children do not have
to buy them unless the local trustees order it DONE
LET WOODLEY EXPLAIN THESE THINGS
TO THE PUBLIC
l. Why did Woodley's tenure of service as Super
ntendent of Hattiesburg Schools come suddenly to
an end?
g. Why did Woodley accept an appointment
Director Of Summer School in 1921 from Superinten
dent Bond year after ne says Bond became such
a bad man?
g. Why did Woodley become the paid agent of
CHM & Co. salary of $500 per month and travel
ing expenses when he knew it to be one of the
companies that offered the highest priced books for
adoption in 1920?
A. Why did Woodley appear before the Text
Book Commission in 1922 and attempt by flattery
and caioery to get the Commission to adopt General
Science book at an advance of sc cents per copy
the price for which it had been sold for five years?
5. Why does Woodley abuse Bond in 1928 when
he accepted favors at his hand in 1921 and praised
him in glowing terms in 1922-when he was trying
to get a high priced book adopted?
6. Let Woodley explain to the public where he is
getting so much money to put in this campaign Let
him tell the people why he is spending upwards of
$4,000 to get office that will only pay $4,000 in
four years.
WOODLEY MAKES A SPEECH
In speech at Forest on the 18th day of July,
Woodley said: "Whoever says CHM & Co. is paying
my campaign expenses is lying scoundrel" Like
Banquo's ghost this ugly rumor will not down.
