Interesting find in Oklahoma School. Chalkboard that has been covered up since 1917. I thought some of you might find interesting and wanted to share.

pretty neat and one of the comments is interesting and it concerns cursive which was common when I went to school . Comment was that in a hundred years no one will be able to read cursive . That's possible and would be a shame because then a old , long gone persons letters may not be able to be read . Family member perhaps a Great Great Grandparent letters about DDay or Gettysburg . I use cursive every once in awhile in my very infrequent letters but have to concentrate on what I'm doing .

Very cool, Ralph beat me to the penmanship angle.

Good pix. Someone was an artist.
