STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF EDUCA.
ton OF BISMARCK WITH REFERENCE
TO FREE TEXT BOOKS.

The cost of text books to the Board in 1922 %
$4,93O.44. The cost in 1923 "a $4,215.55.
In view of the present laws restricting taxes the Board
felt that such large expense unwarranted in view of
the fact that most patrons fully able to purchase the
text books for their children Patrons of
for the books either way but the cost under the free text
book system has proven be much higher account of
greater carelessness in handling and using.
No financially unable to pay for books is forced to
send child school without books Every child is fur
nsed with the books and it is shown that the
parents are unable to pay, charge is made.
Pupils take better of their books when they own
them than when they owned by the district Books do
last nearly long when they furnished free We
know that people generally careless with public
property than they with their and cannot expect
children to be any different.
In the system prevailing in Bismarck the school
district buys the books in the first place and sells them to
the pupils absolute cost at wholesale price, that the
books are acquired at the minimum price.
AS is now the school district pays for nearly all OF
the supplementary reading and other texts that mini
mum number of books required to be purchased by the
pupils
