The one room school in Boswarlos, Picture taken in 1970. I read with interest the article about Slate Pencils in the April issue of Downhome. My mother, the late Jessie (Spracklin) Harvey met my Dad while teaching in the early 1930's at the little one room school in the community of Boswarlos on the Port-au-port peninsula, west of Stephenville. In 1970, while visiting the community with Mom, we visited the school which was still standing and Mom walked over to a huge flat rock, and said "This is where the kids sharpened their slate pencils"   Submitted By: Doug Harvey
