SCHOOL SERVICE 
We have continued to supply study material to the high schools, 
junior high schools, and colleges, for a small charge—a measure 
which, it may be recalled, we were forced to adopt last year on 
account of the overwhelming demand for material of this sort. 
This service has been in charge of Miss Julia E. Best, who came 
to us last year to take over this part of our work. The following 
figures indicate to what extent this charge for material has 
affected the demand.
