Free Textbook Delay Is Seen For Oklahoma
Oklahoma Governor Roy Turner announced a delay in a free textbook program until the 1948-49 school year. Local districts may use any texts until a new multiple adoption system is in effect by June 30, 1948. About one fifth of current books will not be required next year, and $500,000 for free texts will not be available until then. A new eight member state textbook committee will select five books per course for districts to choose from, with local committees deciding final use.
