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 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 is the humorous, interesting memories of former students, parents and friends. Baked potatoes and the game Anti-I-Over appear to be favorite memories. 9781491849682 1491849681 0 Education NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=u0VFnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
