COST OF SCHOOL BOOKS
AN OLD DIFFICULTY. BURDEN ON TWO PAP f.ES. WELLINGTON. May 20. Replying to representations by the Taranaki School Committees? Association Dr Marsden, Assistant Director of Education, says that the only uniform reader, in use in the schools is the School. Journal. All other reading matter varies from school to school, and it cannot be said that there is too much uniformity in this respect. The present text books: are not entirely suitable, and new ones are in course of preparation. The present books, have been in use for fifteen years, and a shorter term is scarcely advisable, as it would impose an undue burden on parents. The Government cannot agree to the issue of free school stationery'owing to .the very large cost involved.
