Mr. Chapman stressed there is a continuing effort on the part of schools to keep the number of textbooks for each grade and subject to an a-bsol- ute minimum. Average cost of textbooks is only about $17 per student, Mr. Chapman estimated. It should be noted that the estimate of $17 is based on cost of new textbooks. Many stu- dents are able to obtain most of their texts second-hand, at a greatly reduced price. Mrr. Chapman noted that most newly-introduced text- books have become necessary because of recent changes in high school courses. In York Central, between five and six dollars per Grade 9 and 10 pupil is spent pur- chasing texts which are loaned to students free of charge.
