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: Items for Record Purposes, Blackboard Accessories, Items for Teacher’s Use, General School Materials, Mathematical Instruments, Cleaning Material, Art Supplies, First Aid Materials, Writing Books, Supplementary Readers and Music. Some space is allowed for additional items to be listed by hand.
