Memories of One-Room Schools

Hopefully MEMORIES of One-Room Schools will be enjoyed by anyone that ever attended these schools, knows of anyone that did or is interested in history. Some of the things included are a brief history of one-room schools and the special state program that was legislated to solve the teacher shortage. Some topics covered in the book are:the different languages spokensporadic attendanceclothes wornhickory stick disciplinegetting to and from schoolsleigh/bob sled rideshorses ridden to and from schoolwhere the teacher stayedwater for the schoolbuilding and banking firesschoolhouse pestsouthouseslard or syrup lunch pailssnowbound at the school housesubject taughtspelling beesYCL songspecial daysschool picnicsdescription of classroom and some of the recess and indoor games played by the students.
