Pamphlet - Lydia Chancellor collection: The school papers

Historical information

School Papers were produced as a result of the perceived need for more local content for children as the school readers were English. In 1896 the first school papers were produced for Grade 3 students. These were followed by Grade 4 in 1897 and Grades 5 & 6 in 1898. They were compulsory reading until 1928 when they became supplemental to the readers.
