The tales that encompass those schoolhouses became embedded within the nation�s cultural reminiscence: the hardships of getting to stroll miles to and from tuition, the customarily cramped quarters inside, and the cruel classes discovered on the hand�or ruler�of the instructor. in most cases, those tales are instructed with a feeling of nostalgia for the bygone period of rural schooling. This e-book explores the myths and realities of those iconic structures in a single rural county in California. even if this quantity makes a speciality of only a unmarried zone, the $64000 function those faculties performed within the lives of these they served (or didn't serve) speaks to the broader effect of faculties and schooling all through early California.
