{"product_id":"a-history-of-the-rural-clark-kidder-9781512251012","title":"A History of the Rural Schools of Rock County, Wisconsin: Townships of Clinton, Fulton, and Harmony","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany generations of Wisconsinites were educated in one-room country schools and have fond memories of an era in education now quickly fading into the attic of American history. These schools were not without their limitations and lack of amenities, but they accomplished their mission nonetheless. Rock County contained over 150 of them at one time. These schools were gathering places for everything from community clubs and church meetings to holiday and political events. They were a part of the very fabric of the community, bringing together neighbors who otherwise would rarely see each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe advent of a statewide road system, which made it possible for schools to consolidate and facilitate the transfer of students to larger, more modern schools, spelled the end for the one-room school era. With all their drawbacks, these quaint little schools contributed their part to the social and economic development of our state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this book are written histories of the school buildings, memories of pupils and teachers, as well as lists of students, teachers, and board members associated with each school. Also included are various photos of students, teachers, interiors and exteriors of the schools. A history of the Rock County Normal School is included, which includes a list of teachers who graduated from the school during its operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a must have for historians studying early education in Rock County, the state of Wisconsin, or the Midwest in general. Genealogists will discover a gold mine of information about their family members and ancestors with over 13,000 names indexed and over 1,000 photos in the six volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume (Volume Two) includes these schools: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Clinton Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinton Corners School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConley School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHofto School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJefferson Prairie School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorthrop School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummerville School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Fulton Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCox School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHubbell School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndianford School I and II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKidder (aka Pleasant View) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary Miles School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewville School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOakdale (aka Mizo) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandy Sink School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheepskin School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Harmony Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackhawk School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrandall School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDillenbeck School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Oaks School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowarth School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilton Avenue School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouat School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Zion School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Corners School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clark Kidder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512251011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512251012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.97d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Clark Kidder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439532978431,"sku":"9781512251012","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f3d2916-9bb2-4ba1-9234-12526e4ee488.jpg?v=1777178196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-rural-clark-kidder-9781512251012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
