THE INDIANA SCHOOL BOOK CO.,

Who have a contract for supplying text-books to the Public
Schools of the State, to better accommodate the patrons of
the schools, have given their consent that all their books may
be handled and sold by merchants and dealers. Township
Trustees and other school officers should make an earnest ef-
fort to get dealers to sell the adopted books. This plan bet-
ter accommodates patrons and school children; besides, it
saves time and labor to the Trustee, and relieves him of all
the care of the books, as well as saving him from making
quarterly reports of his book sales.
