 One Room Schools
During the 1800s, teachers in local one-room schools faced a list of expectations and responsibilities so onerous, it’s a wonder so many carried on.
A more onerous challenge was lighting the fire each morning and keeping it going. That job often fell to older students, a privilege that sometimes enabled some creative mischief. In 1869 at The Maples, S.S. #6 East Garafraxa, for example, in addition to dry, burnable wood, trustees saved money by mixing 20 cords of green wood into the winter supply. It’s difficult to imagine students ignoring the opportunity to fill the school with smoke, especially if a spelling test was imminent.
