,zIHLMAN INTRODUCES
FREE BOOK MEASURE
Would Supply Pupils in Junior
and Senior Schools With
Text Books.

Chairman. Zihlnlan of the House Dis
trict committee today introduced a
bill to provide books and educational
supplies free of charge to the pupils
of the public schools of the District.
He pointed out that text books and
supplies have been furnished pupils
in the elementary schools since 1891.
Prior to that time, and practically
since the authorization of the public
school system books and supplies were
furnished free of charge to pupils
whose parents were not financially
able to purchase them.
In 1891 the system of furnishing all
pupils in the first four grades with
books and other supplies was inaugu-
rated and since then has been grad
ually extended until for many years
all pupils attending the elementary
schools have been supplied out of
public funds.
The Zihlman bill proposes legisla.
ton to extend this system to pupils
in the ninth, tenth. eleventh and
twelfth grades Of Junior and senior
high schools.
1t is estimated that the original
cost of introducing free text books
and supplies for high schools will be
something over $242 900, of which
amount approximately $55 900 will be
for supplies. After the original in.
PRODUCTION the annual appropriation
required to maintain this system
would be approximately $i00. 0On Of
which SIS 900 would be for replace
