The photo-illustrated book gives an overview of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century education in Ohio and the other five states in the former Northwest Territory. From log schools to frame and brick schools, the text describes how rules organized districts, how teachers were recruited, how lessons were taught, what classroom furnishings were used, and how consolidation of schools brought about changes. Over 140 black and white photographs help portray daily lessons and the past and current conditions of one-room school houses. States included are Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The book addresses the whys and wherefores of the one-room school. It's a good resource for teachers, and very few books make comparisons of back then to nowadays. Readers remember past times and how society was close-knit and provided more community support. -- Fort Wayne Indiana Journal Gazette, January 27, 2000
From the Author
My Mother began her teaching career in a one-room school in Williams County, Ohio. My own fourth grade students delight in learning about the past, and I often take them to nearby restored schools to re-enact the one-room school era. I began doing research and taking pictures of one-room schools in Northwest Ohio. Then, I became fascinated by the remnants of early education along country roads during my frequent travels elsewhere. Since families today are sometimes missing the close-knit community life which surrounded early schools, I began to consider some of the positive things one-room schools had offered to children.
