| One-Room Country Schools: History and Recollections from Wisconsin by Amherst Press A nostalgic history of these yesteryear institutions |
| The first school in what was to become Wisconsin was established in 1791. The one-room school became a part of every Wisconsin community during the state's formative years. Now they are a nostalgic memory as the state's population outgrew their utility with the completion of consolidated school districts in the 1960s. In One-Room Country Schools: History And Recollections From Wisconsin, Jerry Apps presents a collection of unique memories and shard recollections from a wide diversity of people who learned and taught in the one-room schools of Wisconsin, thereby presenting an informative, entertaining, nostalgic history of these yesteryear institutions -- the one-room school. |
| One-Room Country Schools: History and Recollections from Wisconsin by Amherst Press This book on country schools is historical and informative. |
| For those who attended one-room country schools, this book, combining history and personal recollections, will bring back fond memories of a different era. Children were well-educated in these schools; many of them only completed eight grades, but they could read, write, spell, do math, think, and reason. They also developed social skills and were kind to one another. I would recommend this book to anyone who ever attended a one-room school or who is in the field of education. |
