TYPEWRITERS' ' COMPETITION Board of Education Gjtslta Monoy's Worth in Information. SEEKS NEW EQU.PMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL Committee Iimtrnctcil to liny Three Typewriter * linn n Hnrtl Time Out the One It Ucatly WnuU. At the last meeting of the Boara of Edu cation a resolution was passed Instructing the committee of supplies to purchase for the mo of the pupils In the commercial courses In the High school thrco additional tvpou filers. The resolution named the kind ot machine desired , and the committee sup posed that nothing moro was needed to bo done than , to order the machines. The mem bers wcro In no hurry to do this , but they now wish they had been. The fact that thrco new machines arc to bo purchased has b'-en well advertised and the committee Is being besieged by nil of the typewriter agents In the country. These agents went to the trouble of seeing the Individual members ot the board and getting an. . agreement from them deferring the purchase until the com- mlttuo had been given n chance to be shown the merits of other machines. For the last few days the offlco of Chairman Sims of the committee has borne some resemblance to a ypuwrltcr exchange. Every make of ma- ilno known to mankind has been entered or competition. The contest has been nar- owcd down to a struggle for supremacy be- wecn three machine agents , and Sims Is ) fglnnlng to find room enough in his olllce or the transaction of his dally 'business.
