 SCHOOL LIBRARIES 
 
 PROGRESSIVE PURCHASE LISTS 
 JANUARY 1912 
 
 The series of lists is so arranged ( i -6) that 
 each $10.00 purchase supplements the former 
 ones and all six form a well balanced $60.00 
 school library. 
 
 This folder may be used as an order list. In- 
 dicate clearly the books desired and enclose 
 folder in letter ordering books. In ordering any 
 list complete, draw a pencil line from top to 
 bottom of page on all other lists and state 
 in letter the number of list desired thus: “Pro- 
 gressive Purchase List No. 4.” 
 
 Prices quoted are those given in the recom- 
 mended list (1911) of the State Superintendent 
 of Schools of Missouri. A. C. McClurg & Co. 
 have agreed to furnish Missouri schools with 
 books at these prices and to prepay freight on 
 orders of $10.00 or more. Similar prices may 
 be obtained in other states from agents furnish- 
 ing books for school libraries. Acknowledgment 
 is hereby made of the co-operation of the Mis- 
 souri Library Commission in the preparation of 
 the lists. 
 
 Duplicate copies of this list may be secured at 
 rate of ten copies, 25c, or, $1.50 per hundred from
