I have edited your post below slightly to exactly match the Seattle public school system in the 60's of last century. Except for the text in brackets ([]) the rest is identical.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
In [socialistic USSR] capitalist Seattle public school system 1961, school books were not bought each year. Instead pupils<div class="im"><br>
had to take them from their's school library for the coming year and return<br>
them at end of the year. Each book had "worn out" level marked on cover of<br>
the book and one had to be careful not to wore out the book too much during<br>
the year. As a penalty for lost or unusable book, the student had to buy a<br>
new book for the library. To draw or mark text in the book was a big no-no.<br>
All books had hard-cover and had strong binding for durability. Every<br>
student was required to put the book he got into special plastic boundary.<br>
If a course required pupils to draw on printed material (like letters in the<br>
first form), the pupil had to buy addendum personal notebook he had to draw<br>
in. I remember I used books with 15-20 name-year pairs in it.<br>
<br></div>
Needless to say, all books were [written] approved by a department in the Ministry of Education, and [not] private author benefited from the authorship.<br>
<br>
After all there were some good economy tactics in the [socialism] capitalism that IMHO should be applied to capitalism [Israeli socialism] (albeit forcefully)...<br>
