Description
Hopefully, Memories of One-Room Schools will be enjoyed by anyone that ever attended these schools, know 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 spoken, sporadic attendance, clothes worn, "hickory stick" discipline, getting to and from school, sleigh/bob sled rides, horses ridden to and from school, where the teacher stayed, water for the school, building and banking fires, schoolhouse pests, outhouses, lard or syrup lunch pails, snowbound at the school house, subject taught, spelling bees, YCL song, special days, school picnics, description of classroom, and some of the recess and indoor games played by the students. But the highlight of the book are the humorous, interesting memories of former students, parents, and friends. Baked potatoes and the game Anti-I-Over appear to be favorite memories.
