STATE WILL RENT TEXTBOOKS TO SCHOOL PUPILS -9 Cost Will Be But One-Third Of Usual Charge For Books -$ All basic textbooks for the elemen tary grades and all high school texts for which unit adoptions have been made will be furnished to children in North Carolina during the coming school session for a rental fee of one third their retail price, it was decided by the State Textbook Purchase and Rental Commission recently. At least $450,000 worth of books, equal to the number purchased last year, will be bought for the use of elementary school pupils, estimated Clyde A. Erwin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction and chairman of the commission. The books will be rented on a per book basis, in order that children may use second-hand books if they wish, the commission decided. No second-1 hand books will be purchased by the i state. A. S. Brower, director of the state division of purchase and contract, and a member of the commission, and R. Gregg Cherry, of Gastonia, who intro duced the textbook rental bill in the past session of the House of Repre sentatives, were appointed a commit tee to work out a purchase arrange ment with book publishers. The books will be bought through the state pur chasing agency. Though it is authorized to borrow up to $1,500,000 through the state’s credit to launch the rental system, the commission will use the state's credit as sparingly as possible. It is thought possible that an arrangement tor in stallment purchase of textbooks can be made. E. N. Peeler, of Greensboro, secre tary to the commission, will prepare information on the quantity of books needed to inaugurate the rental plan. It is expected that even more books will be rented than ordinarily would be purchased by the parents of school children, commented Mr. Erwin. Strict regulations for furnishing free books to indigent children, as pro vided by the law, will be formulated by the commission, it was stated. No plan for the distribution of the books has been decided upon, though the system generally in use by coun ties and cities is that of handling the books through the offices of school superintendents and principals. North Carolina will have the first state-wide textbook rental system in the United States. Texas has a free testbook system. Superintendent Er win has expressed the opinion that North Carolina eventually will sup ply its school children with books, just as it supplies them with other necessary school supplies and equip ment. Meanwhile, the state intends to rent to public school pupils texts in the basic elementary subjects, such as reading, arithmetic, history, English, etc., and with high school texts in the social sciences, agriculture and manu al arts. The rental fee is the maxi mum provided by law. \ou Are a Member of Our Board of Directors Indirectly . . . but as a member, your interests are placed first.

Production To Determine Amount of Feed for Cow -® The amount of grain that should be fed to a dairy cow in addition to good pasturage depends on the maximum production of the animal. The average cow will consume only enough grass in a day to maintain her body in good condition and produce two gallons or about seventeen pounds of milk. For those animals producing more than 17 pounds of milk, a grain mixture containing from 13 to 16 percent of digestible protein should be fed at he rate of one pound of grain to each Supplementary texts for elementary use will not be stocked by the rental agency this year, since several differ ent books are recommended for the same supplementary subject. For the same reason, no multiple list of textbooks for high school use will be stocked. All of the unit adop tions—that is, one book for each sub ject—have been made since 1933 under authority of the 1931 law, and will not become obsolete if purchased by the commission. NOTICE!
