Superintendent of Schools,
Nelson, Missouri.

Dear Ur, Staley:

: | I have just received a letter from Snith-e
Grieves Company, in Kansas City, steting that they billed
you @ book end tha you were returning the seme saving the
price was prohibitive. ) es :

| If they billed you the book for $4,00
certainly you were right as the school shovld have had
some sort of a discount. However, the pries of the
“Basketball Bible” has for twelve or thirteen years
$4.00 at Lowe & Campbell, end other places where it is
sola. Phey still earry the book ani it is sold at that
: ee.

 

I have just finished the manuseript of a
new book, “Botter Basketball’, which deGraw=i Fi tii. and Co,,
of New York, are publishing. It will be out in Late
October or early November. i au sending you a descrip-
tion of the material so that you will know what the new
book is like, ie |

: Z woulé be very hapny to hear from you in-
forming moe why cr felt that the price of the "Basketball
Bible" was prohibitive. All basketbell as well as football
texts are not simple things to construct, and of course in
this day of printing and binding the publishers have never
been known to lose their hair by giving them away,

I trust that you will have a fine year,

Sincerely yours,

| Direetor of Physical Edueation,
