Also, there must be provided for each student, catalogs of lumber and millwork specifications and prices. These can be obtained from mail order lumber and millwork companies. As a rule, local lumber and millwork companies are glad to provide such data, but it must be in a form complete, and readily accessible to be of the greatest value.
