State Prepares Free Textbook Plan In North Carolina
Raleigh April 15 Preliminary plans are under way by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and staff to establish a free textbook program. Gov Hoey has not yet appointed the Textbook Commission to administer the law. Survey work on grade book needs aims to determine how many books must be purchased and whether one book can serve multiple pupils. The rental system books will join the free program and city rental systems may be absorbed. The commission must arrange purchases and deliveries ahead of schools reopening in summer and fall, with some western counties already resuming in July.
