In many of the schools in the early history of the U.S. and its western territories, the students used a slate as a writing tablet. There was a large slate blackboard in the front of the classroom for the teacher's use, as there was until a few years ago when greenboards were introduced for that purpose. The student's slate was about 10"x12". Slates and blackboards were marked by using chalk, rather than a pencil.
