The Provincial
Educational Depository (later known as the People's
Depository), established in 1850 under the School Act of that
year, was responsible for the purchase, storage and distribution
of authorized textbooks, maps, apparatus and other supplies to
the individual schools.
As an incentive to purchase books from the Educational Depository,
Ryerson promised to "add one hundred per cent to any sum
or sums not less than five dollars" collected from school
boards towards the purchase of books for the school library.
