It has been a long way from the one-room school without electricity or water, outside toilets, no cars, only walking or horses for transportation. It wasn't so bad without cars, TV's, electricity and radios. Everybody was in the same boat. We never went hungry or went to bed cold, and we made our own entertainment. As I think back 76 years ago, I wonder if the kids today appreciate all the things they have.
Bus rides to school, calculators to do their arithmetic problems.
If they have trouble reading there's an extra teacher to help. Add hot lunch at noon, and Phy. Ed. because they do not get the exercise by walking one and one-half miles morning and night. Even in grade school they have extra teachers for certain subjects. Music teachers for singing and band instruments.
