Opened in Topeka Kansas, September 20. Kansas state text book commission reports unprecedented demand for school books across the state. Dealers in Independence Dodge City Emporia Manhattan Scammon and near Camp Funston note higher than planned orders and rising sales, with state and private publishers alike stretched to meet needs. Strong population shifts and new enrollees at schools are cited as possible factors. Demand extends to U S history and other titles as extra print runs are begun. The bee sting is noted as a defense mechanism for hives.
