If the school system be large enough to warrant it, a supply room for the supervisor should be provided with the following:

Equipment And Supplies

1 Case containing sliding shelves for full sized sheets of paper and boards, one shelf for each kind of stock, and long doors extending from top to bottom over shelves.

1 Case containing pigeon holes for 9"x 12" cut stock, shelves to be 12 1/2" deep, and openings to be 9"x 9 1/2" A curved notch in each shelf for the hand assists in removing the paper.

1 Case containing extra pieces of equipment and for storage of equipment during the vacation season.

1 Card cutter with blade at least 15" in length. It is desirable to have such a cutter in each fourth grade room except for expense. A good card cutter may be obtained for from $7.00 to $25.00.

1 Paper cutter to handle stock at least 20" wide. Cost varies from $50.00 to $150.00 according to size and strength, and whether for table or floor use.

Such a stock room if sufficiently large may be used for all of the primary handwork. Stock of all kinds, yarns, raffia, reed, clay, and other supplies, should be kept in special cases.

Kinds Of Paper And Cardboard

Many kinds of paper are suitable for primary handwork, and a few of them are used almost constantly, especially cover papers, book papers, and tag boards. Other papers are used but little, but are desirable in order that a wider acquaintance with paper qualities may be obtained. A collection of finished papers, and one showing stages in the manufacture of paper has an educational value well worth the effort necessary for making the collection. The following classification may be of value in the study of papers.

The more important papers are: Print paper, - Unfinished surface, for newspapers and cheap poster work, made from fibres of straw, wood, grasses, and paper waste. Book paper, - Machine finished surface, cheaper varieties made from wood fibres. Writing-paper, - Made with a surface suitable for ink, and with a firmness which will stand erasures, usually made from cotton and linen rags. Drawing-paper, - Frequently made by hand, very firm, stands much erasing, made in surfaces from smooth to very rough. Wrapping-paper, - A coarse paper of a yellowish brown color made from manila and other rope fibres, stands hard usage. Cover paper, - Paper with a fancy color, an interesting texture, and a tough quality suitable for covering pamphlets.
