The Prairie Years.

Rose, Mike

Education Week, v16 n25 p36-41 Mar 19 1997

The author reflects on a cross-country trip in which he discovered one-room schools, some abandoned many years ago due to consolidation, others still in operation. In addition to the valuable role that one-room schools played in educating rural youth, these schools offer a rich reflection of local history, language, and cultural practices. Includes photographs.
