in texts for the high school. I hope
you recall the high school text book
law, passed by the Legislature of lapt
year which goes into effect this fall.
Many new books were adopted and, of
course, under the law, they must be
used in the place of some others that
have been used heretofore. I assure
you that I know as well as any one
how etistly books are now. At the
same time, I assure you that ou will
not have another change of books for
five years, except in the case of history
and science which may be changed
after two years. For fear of being mis
understood, I takp this opportunity for
making what 1 believe to be a neces

Please have your children bung all
their old books, and you parents do
your best to come with them.
