NRS-16712 | Requisition Forms [Carrington Public School]

There are two types of requisition form represented in this series: “Requisition for School Materials” and “Requisition for School Reading Books.”The “Requisition for School Materials” is used for supplies of paper and writing implements, ink, ink-wells, slates, chalk, maps, charts and diagrammes, new blackboards, easels, music books and various other teaching aids, and also for lesson plans and official stationary such as Admission Registers and Visitors’ Books. The range of items available for requisition, with their prices, is printed on the form, on which the requisitioning teacher is to indicate the number of each item already received, the number presently in stock and the number now required, with the cost of the current requisitions. The number of pupils in each class at the school, and the total enrolment, are also to be entered, and the whole is to be countersigned by the Chief Inspector’s representative. The school is to keep one copy of each form submitted.The “Requisition for School Reading Books” is similarly organised, differing only in that the list consists solely of the approved School Readers supplied by the Department (and is consequently far shorter than that on the other form).The series from Carrington Public School consists at present of the School’s record copies of “Requisition for School Materials” forms from 1895 to 1900, and of “Requisition for School Reading Books” forms from 1898 to 1900.
