NRS-17312 | Stock Book [Woolooma Public School]

Full description

The purpose of the Stock Book was to keep a record of materials supplied to the school by the Department of Education, and of their expenditure and replenishment from year to year. Maintenance of the record was the responsibility of the Principal.

The volume is divided into columns, six to an opening, of which the first is pre-printed with a list of the various items ordinarily supplied to the school, and the other five record the changes in quantity over five years, at one column to a year. Each yearly column is further subdivided to record the quantity of each item on hand at the beginning of the year, additions to stock during the course of the year (with date of receipt and invoice number), and any quantity written off as unusable before the end of the year.

Items listed fall under the following categories: Chalkboard Accessories, Items for Teacher’s Use, General School Materials, Mathematical Instruments, Cleaning Material, Art Supplies, First Aid Materials, Writing Books, Supplementary Readers, Dictionaries, Items for Infants’ Use and Other School Supplies. Some space is allowed for additional items to be listed by hand.

The series consists of a single volume, which records materials received by, and on hand at, the school from 1970 until 1974.
