of school children since last Sep
TENDER. when the system was in
augurated in seventh and eighth
grades.
Until last September, many
parents found it impossible to
furnish money enough to buy
schOolbooks fore their children
and. hence, were forced to ask
the school authorities to provide
the books.
Under the new system, one
Seventh-grade school girl proudly
saved her pennies and nickels
until she had the necessary
amount to pay for rental of her
books.
Through operation of the rental
system school authorities say
they have found proof that I'M
fortunate families in Indianap-
oils look forward to the day
when they no longer will need to
accept help from various social
agencies.
I'VE have discovered that par
entS, who have been unable to
buy books for their children for
a number of years, find it pos
sible to pay the small rental fee
and are happy, thus, to remove
their children from the list Of
indigentS," Paul StetSon. super
intendent of schools, said.
NTHER parents, who previously
~ have purchased their chill
drens school books, find they have
additional funds to buy supple
mental books by taking advan-
tage of the rental system"
Last semester, 95 per cent of all
pupils N the seventh and eighth
grades used the rental system, in
preference to buying their books,
Estimates showed that 1864 pupils
rented and $40 bought. The rental
fee this semester is IS cents for
eighth grade pupils and so cents
for seventh grade pupils. Eventu-
ally the fee will be so cents each
semester for either grade. Eighth
grade pupils this year had some
of the books called for, and so
paid only a part of the rental fee.
Total expenditure for the four
semeSterS under the purchase plan
was approximately $3.50 each, as
compared with 81 each under the
rental plan Savings for the par
ents of seventh and eighth grade
pupils, therefore, is approximately
$3.50 each for the two years. Es-
Inmates are that the plan will save
parents $4,000, or $4,000 annu-
ally.
Accumulated rental fees are
used by the school board to buy
new books to replace those worn
out. and new books adopted by
the schools will be bought at no
extra cost to the pupils.

HOOVER INEPT
CHOICE, C. 0. P.
LEADERS FEEL
Has No Chance for 1886
Nomination, Say Friends
of Former Leader.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-As if
from a ghost of unpleasant men,
DRY, Republicans SHE'D away today
from Herbert Hoover'S call for re-
turn to the gold standard.
The silence of most Republicans
in Congress, the conditional acqui-
escence of few, and the private
expressions of others showed plain
" that if Mr.. Hoover is casting eyes
on the 1886 nomination his case is
well-nigh hopeless.
His friends insisted that he be-
spoke no such ambition, but was
only expressing his earnest convic-
ton in the role Of guide for the
party he once led. Others felt that
if Mr.. Hoover was attempting to
give his party an issue, his choice
was inept.
They thought the electorate
would not be greatly excited over
such an issue. To the contrary, the
gold standard has nearly been cast
! into the limbo of opprobrium to
which William Jennings Bryan
sought to consign it with his
Grown of thornS, cross of gold
speech. thanks to the Administra-
tons effective propaganda and the
agitation of cheap money advocates.
A few conservative Republicans
agreed with the ex-President that
the United States should resume
gold payments on the new dollar
basis, but most of them, such as
Senator l.. j. Dickinson (R., la,
keynoter of the dreary Chicago con-
vention of 80, emphasized that this
must be slow process.
Acid comment from western lr-
regulars disclosed how little head
wav MIR. Hoover can make with the
gold-standard issue in that broad
country which begs continually for
a cheaper dollar and finds no fault
with the Roosevelt monetary pro-
gram-except, perhaps, that it does
not go far enough.
Party leaders and presidential
hopefuls, of whom there are a few
in the Senate, always become
trifle iittery when new ambitious
flare appears, or an old one re-
apICars-or seems to re-appear.
This was demonstrated today in the
silence of such persons as Senator
Arthur R. Vandenberg (R., MichO,
a0 potential candidate, and Senator
Charles NfcNary CR., Ore0, Senate
minority leader.
Nor was there comment from
Ogden l.. Mills, long regarded as
Mr.. Hoover's right-hand man. Mr..
Mills is considered likely Repub-
lican presidential choice of eastern
conservatives, and his silence was
construed here as political cautious
ness.
Most significant of the Republican
attitude generally was the failure
of any of Mr.. Hoover's party to rise
in the Senate and challenge Sena-
tor Tom Connally Cd, Tex0, who
opened fire on the ex-Presldent.
Only a Democrat, Senator Glass,
arose to defend the Hoover views,
though no defense of the man him.
self came from the tart Virginlan
who once asked, during the 1928
campaign, when Mr.. Hoover'S
engineering abilities we're being en-
bhasized:
What dam did Hoover ever
build?"
Republicans bent on rebuilding
the party seem to want to forget the
former President.
