“Students today can’t prepare bark to

calculate their problems. They depend on slate which is more

expensive. What will they do when they

drop the slate and it breaks? They will be

unable to write!”(Anon – 1709)

much. They don’t know how to write

without getting chalk dust all over

out of paper?”(Anon – 1815)
