Summary: Had to buy a second copy
Review: I purchased this book for my mother for Christmas. She grew up in North Dakota and went to a one room schoolhouse through the eighth grade. After the holidays she lent the book to a friend who enjoyed it so much that we needed another copy.

Summary: Informative, entertaining, and educational!
Review: I use this book as a supplement to my Foundations of Education Class to show how basic issues in education[even in ND] have been around since statehood. In evaluation after evaluation, students say I need to keep this book as required reading. Many not only keep their own copy, but also buy an additional one for parents or grandparents who attended one-room schools. This book is rich with teacher narratives, copies of primary documents [ledgers, teacher's school day, exams], and words that still ring true today. I highly recommend this book ESPECIALLY for Midwest education teachers!
