Next to seeing that orders are properly placed and deliveries properly made, the supervisor must see that materials are conveniently assorted and stored, and that paper requiring to be cut is attended to in time for use. Much of this work can be done some time in advance, and papers counted and wrapped and labeled ready for the different teachers. If much cutting is to be done, a large paper cutter should be available, altho a course similar to that planned in this book can eliminate a large part of this cutting by having paper cut to uniform sizes of 9"x 12" and 6"x 9". Cases for handling this cut stock are suggested in chapter VII.

In the delivery of supplies to schools, some system should be devised that will insure regularity and promptness. In a small system the janitors may be required to attend to such details Where a city has regular delivery wagons, the handling of supplies is an easier matter. In many cities, the supervisor may find it more convenient to carry a few bundles of stock with him when he makes his visits, or have the teachers take parts of the supplies after a teacher's meeting, or have boys come from the schools at assigned hours to the central stock room. What ever kind of delivery is attempted, it is most important to see that it works.

Exhibits may be made from time to time for the purpose of interesting the people of the community in this kind of work. It may also be an inspiration to both teachers and pupils and deepen their interest in the course as a whole. Such exhibits may be held in the class room if no better place be available. If held in the class room, it should be concentrated upon a panel in one part of the room, or upon a long shelf along one side of the room, or in an exhibit case.

While one exhibit is in place other material should be removed from the walls to avoid confusion. Exhibits of handwork, freehand drawing, reproductions of art, grasses, minerals, fabrics, and other educational material may well be used in succession, but there should be only one kind of an exhibit at a time on the walls.
