 Tlu- .-tttention of the Hoard of Education of Victoria Im.s 1)ceu called to tho arraiigeiiicnts niadt- hy 
 tlic Deputy Suiteriiiteiideiit of E«liicatioii for Ontario, when in Euj^land, for the sujijdy of Books and School H»'(|iii,sites, 
 as stateil in the Annual Ileport on Education, pages 24-2fi, for the year 18G7. 
 
 In that Report it is stated that "after sundiy confeicnces and explanations (with several of the Puhlisiiers). tln'y 
 " were at length iiubiced, with tAvo or three exceptions, to agree to an additional discount for cash, of 21, H, 7^., or 1(» 
 " i>er c(^nt, (as the case might be), over and above their former rates of discount allowed to the Depaitment. Five per 
 " cent, was the average additional discount which I was thus enabled to secure for the Department, together with 
 •' the advantage, in most cases, as heretofore, of the old books, viz.: 7 as GA, 13 iis 12, or 25 as 24." 
 
 Again, it is remarked further on, that " apart from these personal characteristics of individual publishers, the 
 ■' publishing trade of Britain seems to have divided itself into two great branches, 1st, the publisher.'- of miscellaneous 
 " books of all kinds, the copy-right of Avhich has either expired, or has never existed in England ; and 2nd, those who 
 •' chiefly confine themselves to the puljlication of copy-right books. There are several intermediate degrees between 
 " these two main divisions, but they can be generally classified under either head. With the former class, who had 
 " little or no copy-iight to pay, I was enabled, with one or two exceptions, to make highly advantageous terms; with 
 " the latter, who had copy-right to pay on nearly every one of their books, I did not of course expect to do as well. 
 •' There were, however, some gratifying exceptions, while the freshness, originality and excellence of their publications 
 " <juite made up for the differenct; in the cost of their books." 
 
 Again,—" Without giving in this Report the specific terms, which I was enabled, on behalf of the Department, to 
 " niak(^ with the various publishers, (most of theni being special and confidential), 1 think it but justice to those who 
 " acted liberally to our Public Schools to classify them as follows :" — 
 
 With reference to the above, I am desired by the Board of Education to express their gratification at seeing that 
 such satisfiictory arrangements have been made in regard to this matter, and to state that as this Board are unable 
 to adopt a similar plan of sending an agent to Europe because of the great distance, it would be conferring a great 
 obligaticm upon them if you gave them the benefit of your Agent's assistance, by furnishing a list of the prices paid to 
 l)ublishers by your Department, and any other informotion on the subject, which would prove valuable to the cause of 
 Education in this Colony. 
 
 I have, &c., 
 
 (Signed) B. F. KANE, 
 
 Secretai-y. 
 
 _P.S. — It will be understood that, if desired, any information furnished to this Board will be treated as confidential.
