The document contains excerpts from the Principal's Association in 1815, the National Association of Teachers in 1907, and The Rural American Teacher in 1928 that express concerns about students' dependence on paper and store-bought writing materials and lack of knowledge about alternative materials like slate and pencil sharpening or making their own ink.
