lonia are some stone tablets believed
to have been used as schoolbooks In
the first regular school ever held In
the world. They are in the collection
Of the University of Pennsylvania.
These prehistoric text books have
marks proving that they were used in
a school conducted in temple in Nip
pur more than 1900 years B. G. This
school is known to have been in ex-
istence at least 1000 years. and no
records have yet been found to indi-
cate the existence Of any preceding it.
The tablets contain notes upon several
sciences. evidently made upon the

them contain two forms of characters.
