      infancy of tlie Board , when its schools were few in number , the managers or teachers made requisitions for what they needed , and the goods were supplied from various booksellers

      and manufacturers , sometimes on the order of the managers and teachers themselves and sometimes on the order of the inspector . In 1873 a new departure was made , and an arrange - ment was entered into with Messrs . Hamilton , Adams , & Co . for the supply of books

      they would thereby dispense with the payment of profit to an intermediate agent .
