Summary

The School paper, a monthly publication of the Victorian Education Department, was first introduced into Victorian schools in 1896 for Class III, in response to a perceived need for locally edited and published schoolbooks on Australian topics. The readers were core reading for schoolchildren and contained local content and material written by local authors.
