This is a copy stick, used to help teach people to write. It consists of a stick of wood, a strip of paper bearing a copper-plate inscription (printed) on each side of the wood. One side reads 'Remembrances', the other side reads 'Be courteous to strangers'. The latter inscription is printed over another which it obscures. It was known to have been used between 1860 and 1870 in West Yorkshire, at the school of the donor's great-uncle.
