State Printing Of School Books Plan Is Proposed
Four West Virginia newspaper publishers urge state board of education to approve printing textbooks at state institutions to cut costs. Plan would require legislative authority and funding to build a plant at a state facility with faculty from West Virginia University handling editorial work. Authors say a year long contract could run while awaiting approval, with convicts used for mechanical work and teachers supervising, aiming to reduce prices near current costs.
