Education Index Page

Prior to the construction of schools, students were taught in individual homes.  The earliest school buildings were usually a crude log cabin built by the whole community with a fireplace in one corner and a window in the other to provide proper air circulation.   Students learn the three 'R's,' reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic.  In those days, education was regarded as a luxury, not a necessity, because families were more concerned with survival than 'book learning.'
