The Little White Schoolhouse (Kentucky Bicentennial Bookshelf)
"Evokes 'big' bittersweet memories, reactivating the sense of loss at the passing of one-room schools." -- Lexington Herald-Leader"It will awaken long-dormant memories in the minds of all old-timers who ever sat on a scholars' bench in a one-room school." -- The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society"A realistic if somewhat nostalgic look at an institution still within the memory of many Kentuckians. Hartford first traces the efforts of the state to establish schools and then shows how the one-room schools served as places for learning as well as community centers well into the mid-twentieth century. The most important parts of the book are those which describe everyday school life, the recreations, and other customs associated with the one-room school." -- Kentucky Folkloer Record--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
