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. The 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 Four) includes these schools: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Lima Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexander School?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBullock School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurr Oak (aka Burdick) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogtown (aka Grogan) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunt (aka Cravath, White, and Green) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLima Center School (aka Lima School and Crandall) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorgan School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalmer School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring Brook School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStoddard (aka Slocum and Burrows) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturtevant School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVickerman School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Magnolia Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCainville School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurseth School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvey School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrew (aka Huyke) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoore (aka Old Stone Jug) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichmond (aka Gardner) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchools in Milton Township: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerrifield School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorth Milton (aka Hudson and Crandall) School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOtter Creek School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock River School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clark Kidder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512251127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512251128\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 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.07d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clark Kidder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896782348543,"sku":"9781512251128","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79575bab-b87b-42b0-8b94-d43a6869eddf.jpg?v=1721372319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-rural-clark-kidder-9781512251128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
