You had an exercise book?? I man had to make do with  black slate and lead pen, which I then had to clean with spitt when I wanted to write on it again. You guys were lucky.

Mr. T, only  a warped mind would bring politics into the story of using a slate and pencil in school. It was issued by the missionaries in the outlying areas and had nothing to do with Burnham or Jagan.   

The slates were  used in the first classes at school, while higher grades used the British exercise books, before  Guyana independence.
