One-Room Schools of the Middle West: An Illustrated History
"Fuller is the nation's authority on the history of rural education. He offers in this volume new insights into the rise and fall of one-room schools and shows how they fostered a sense of community, parental support, and grass roots democracy. His book will have a strong appeal for college courses in rural history, social history, and the history of education; yet it is also very accessible for a much wider general audience. . . . A remarkable achievement."--William J. Reese, editor ofHistory of Education Quarterlyand author ofThe Social History of American Education"Told with economy and grace, Fuller's study should spur the burgeoning interest nationwide in the recognition, recreation, and preservation of our rural school heritage. It could become a virtual bible among local and state societies committed to preserving this heritage."--David L. Angus, School of Education, University of Michigan
