I started grade school in 1943.A war was going on and according to my parents all things needed for a day to day survival was in short supply. Especially things like sc hool supplies.I don"t recall those years but I can remember the 47-48 school yesrs,4th grade,needed a big chief tablet,2 pencils[leave one at home for later] an eraser and a 12" ruler.That never changed much until High school when I had to rent books.some kids from well to do families bought theirs,the class system don"t you know.The upper grade kids going to school out here need a back pack to carrry their I Pod,Misc devices and their Desk Top Computor. Paper and Pencils and Markers and Bic Pens etc are still required but I don"t think that study books are to a great extent any more.Lower grades still use books,mostly on a rental basis.
