Martin, says in his rcjiort to the legislature : "The contract tor text books used in the schools under the adoption of the State hord of education will ex pire <>u July I, iHOti. The law govern in the Adoptions has been amended., from time to time, until it has become sonic what inconsistent, and it seems to me. that a general law should be passed which, will unity and siinpyfv the situation.

At the last session oT the legis lature it bill was passed allowing (own ship depositories to make a prolil of not more than 10 per cent, on the cost price of the hooks. I'nder the con tract now in force, no restriction is put upon prices at which books may be sold by dealers, so there is natur ally a grent deal of confusion and some dissutisfacl ion in the. handling of the hooks. To begin with, the cost price is sttiiu|>cd on the back of the book. A township depositary may add 10 percent, to this price. At this, the purchaser naturally wonders. The dealer. I tun informed, frequently adds l "i to !??"> per cent., and even more. The purelniser then wonders again. If it is desired to furnish the books at urinal cost, then I think the India na plan is hest. namely, have a State depository lo which the publishers sell the books ;it the yowest compet itive bids. The Stale depositories! then furnish lo the county depositor ies at eos(, and the county depositor ies in 1 1 1 1' 1 1 Inrnisli them to the people J ill Cost.
