SCHOOL BOOK SYSTEM CRITIC IS ANSWERED

School Officials Explain Why One Central Store Handles the Books —Profit Fixed By Law.

Following the explanation by Superintendent of Schools C. J. Waits as to how the city school books are provided comes along another letter criticising the school book system. This letter was given Mt. Waits and appears below with, his answer of Mr. Allen of his office.

Editor Tribun$:—Have C. J. Waits tell us why a city of 60,000 people have to depend on one firm .in a little 2x4 store for their .school books. Pack in like sardines, wait an hour or two, then probably fail to get the books wanted, necessitating a few more trips and a few rrtore waits.

Why don't the school city have the books for sale right on the job, where needed?

The answer is tied up in that little word* graft and it rhymes very nicely with Craft. G. P. N.

Could Be Don* Cheaper.

"If the plan of furnishing free school books were instituted in Terre Haute the school board could furnish books at a much lower expense to the community than it is now paying for the reason that there would be a more economical distribution of the hooks. Books which are used only once now would be used several times. This is the plan adopted in many states, and I am honest in my opinion that this is the only a»d best solution of the school book problem. Under the present sys

TO HAVE YOUR CLEANING DONE

and this is why you should have it done there: Powers have made use of a quarter of a century's experience in this business and the latest models of scientifically constructed machinery, and have built a new. plant according to the newest ideas of practical science.

It means that the work we do for you is the best modern science can da It means that you get the best possible service. Our Autos call for your Work promptly and deliver it to you when you are told you will get it. All work is hung up in sanitary bags in our machines and you get it as we send it not wrinkled from packing.

tem, however, the school board were it to undertake the distribution of boolts coilld not make any money' and I doubt if the dealer makes a cent. It would mean a great deal of work and a large force of clerks to, be employed." This opinion w^is expressed Saturday oy Albert Allen, business director of Terre Haute schools. ',

The opinion was concurred in to a great extent by the assistant superintendent, Mr. J. M. Tilley. Mr. Tilley 8.dded that the ^free school book plan was complicated and invblved more difficulties than the average person knows of. Many pupils would prefer to buy their books than to use the old books under the free plan.

It was explained that the school board has considered undertaking the distribution of books under the present plan but is not a unit, in it. Mr. Allen said that he would not sly It could not be done with favorable results.

On® Central Store.

The present plan of handling school books was explained. The state provides that some one firm shall be named as a depository for school books by the, county superintendent of schogls, Craft's book store is the Arm named here. Their percentage of profit on all bdoks is fixed by law at fifteen per cent. They must pay all freight and other cost of handling and retail to all other dealers on a basis allowing them to make ten 'per cent without freight or drayage expense. Any firm can handle all books required for use in the schools at this fixed price. At present there are five firms within five squares of Wiley high school who handle all books. The same condition obtains in the vicinity of Garfield high school.

The reason why pupils 'cannot obtain the books wanted at once was laid to the fact that the dealer does not order a supply to meet the demand. This is his fault as he is furnished with the list of requirements by the school board. Many of the schools act

as selling agents for the students in disposing' of their old books. There is always a risk in handling school books, it was explained, on account of not knowing what the demand will be. A large number of books,are furnished by, the board free of charge to children of the indigent class.

It was positively denied that any one store handled any kind or class of school books as the list is sent out to all stores calling'for it and they can demahd these books of the central firm at once.

WHY OYSTERS ARE SCARCE.

Times So Good Packers Are Working in Other Lines. Ed Johnson, the oyster man, said Saturday: "You wouldn't think that prosperity wduld be a drawback, to anybody, biit the oyster supply just now. is. short because the packers havebeen drawn to other lines' by higher wages. Herfe's a letter* I got from one of the big"*Baltimore houses today:. "In reply beg to say .that we were unable to ship oysters today for the reason that we did not have sufficient oysters to fill our regular standing orders. The oyster business at present is being done und^r grteat difficulties to begin with there are not many oystermen catching oysters, and for this reason there are Very few on the market. It will be at ^east a week or ten days before the business will be so that orders can be filled with any degree of promptness. Another draw back to the business this season is that there is such a great demand for labor that able bodied men are not working in packing houses and we have to depend upon old men and women to do the shucking. We are very sorry that we could not at least ship part of your order."
