Slates were used to practice handwriting and arithmetic without wasting precious paper. After a teacher's approval, the students were allowed to copy their best slate work into a paper copybook, as a record of accomplishment. Students also memorized concepts, rules and even long literary passages, thus conserving paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50703402008813,"sku":"Industrial SKU 138","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/19th-century-slate-children_s-schoolhouse-chalkboard-1800s-1.jpg?v=1789684438","url":"https:\/\/s16home.com\/products\/19th-c-framed-slate-students-personal-schoolhouse-chalkboard-c-1880-1910","provider":"S16 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
