A fact that we should Hke. lO have a good many very excellent people re­ member is this: School books, in gen­ eral, are the cheapest books in the mar Vet. They are, as a rule, made of the best material as to paper, printing, and binding; and where maps and illustra­ tions are used, as is almost universal at jHresent, they are far superior to the «me kind in miscellaneous books,--- They are cheaper, too; the prices are from 25 to 33| per cent, lower than the best class of miscellaneous books that are constantly sold and bought without domplaint. Another element in the cost of a good school book is the auth­ orship, an expensive item, for It re- Quire rare scholorehip, experience and tact to produce it and in this the "la­ borer is surely worthy of his hire."-- School books are the cheapest product to the market.--J2c.
