SOME FACTS CONCERNING THE
TEXT BOOK SITUATION.

Text books are not higher in
Mississippi than in other Southern
States that adopted in 1920 or since
that time.
tennessee is getting spoilers
cheaper than Mississippi because of
two facts: first, the adoption was
made before prices advanced; secnod
the American Book Company was
stocked up on Hunts Progressive
Speller (complete) and in order to
unload, the company gave Tennessee
a special price, just as the merchant
, who finds himself overstocked un-
loads at sacrifice.
3-Geographies are cheaper in
Tennessee because they were adopt
ed before prices advanced and because
the Tennessee edition is not revised
up to date. North Carolina and
South Carolina have both adopted
these books later at higher prices
than Mississippi is paying.
4-The arithmetics and spoilers
were the cheapest offered by the
company and the arithmetics adopted
were far below the price of arith-
methic offered by CHM & Co.
5--The whole series of Child
World Readers have been reduced
for this fall, because both Alabama
and Arkansas have adopted these
books this summer, and under the
contract with the publishers, we i'm
mediately get reduction on any
book that is adopted in another state
at a lower price than we are paying
In Mississippi.
6-Woodley says that his first act
will be to bring suit against the book
companies and force them to lower
prices on books. Ask If Doodley ex-
poets to bring suit against CHM &
Co., and force that company to lower
the price on books that he introduced
in the more than fifteen counties of
South Mississippi.
7--Woodley denies very strenously
that he appeared before the 1920
Commission. He did not appear be-
fore them in 1920. but in 1922 he
appeared before this same Commits
sion, and said that he knew they were
honest men and that al this talk about
the book business was "cheap poll
ties" When Woodley couldn't bribe
the Commission with his flatttery and
induce them TO take his book at an
advanced price Of Sc 2-s cents above
what had been paid for them for five
years. he decided to make Bond pay
for bic failure, and backed BY the
most dangerous trust In America, It
is alleged be is spending $50. 900 with
the hope Of winning the State Super
intendent's once.
