Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth details and stories of Iowa's highly successful Iowa Rural School System (1858-1966) and how it anchored the huge farm settlement (1870-1900) and helped shape the character of Iowa. During this 30 year period a million immigrant farm settlers doubled the population of Iowa and created new farms out of the tall-grass prairie that quadrupled the tilled acreage in Iowa to 35.5 million acres. Farmers built a school for every four square miles of farmland. While there are still people today who have fond childhood memories of attending one-room schools in the mid-1900's, most are unaware that 12,623 one-room schools were built in Iowa mostly during the height of the Victorian Age (1870-1900) or that they were linked together as part of a legislated state-wide system of rural schools that provided easy access for all children within a 2-mile walk from home. Willow Tree School in Richland Township, Sac County, Iowa serves as a representative of a one-room school during the time that the Iowa Rural School System operated. It is representative of other rural schools across Iowa because all were part of a progressive state-wide system with the same organization, regulations and Course of Study despite differences in nationalities and faiths. This book explains why Iowa's successful system of one-room schools served farm families so well for over three generations. The book contains 145 colored photographs of artifacts from the Iowa Rural Schools Museum of Odebolt. We invite you to get to know the individuals through their narratives that were associated with Willow Tree School past and present and let them take you to another time and place!

This book was released on 2016-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pays tribute to over a million immigrant farmers who settled Iowa and built 12,623 one room schools over a 30 year period between 1870 to 1900. Host crafts a research-based journey through artifacts, first-person accounts, and primary documents. The reader relives the emergence of Midwestern farm culture through the impact of immigration and the statewide one room school system that led Iowa to have the highest literacy rate and test scores for decades to follow. Many common stereotypes are challenged and new findings are revealed. Host has researched, collected, and photographed thousands of items donated to the Iowa Rural Schools Museum housed in the restored 1883 Willow Tree School to make a 106 page one-of-a-kind reference book on Iowa's one room schools. Host has been instrumental in creating a true-life timeline of a working classroom and student culture in one of the best historical examples of a late 1800's one-room school in Iowa.The book centers around 12 engaging collections of artifacts from teaching methods to fashions to children's chores. Each collection exposes new insight into the nature of Iowa's early farming communities and why Iowa's one-room school system, legislated in 1858 with the last public one room school closed in 1966, successfully provided an outstanding, free and accessible education for all rural children. It influenced educational achievement for generations. For more information see www.iowaruralschoolsmuseum.netFor information on other books by Host see www.iowahistoricschools.com

Book excerpt: A love for Iowa's small rural schools set Barb and Dave Else on a journey to find the lost high school buildings that are no longer being used for education. In the latter part of the nineteenth century and into the early 1900s, the Iowa countryside was dotted with one-room kindergarten through eighth grade rural schools. In addition, nearly every town in Iowa had a high school, often just a few miles away. Due to declining enrollment and for purposes of efficiency, many of Iowa's high schools were closed or merged with other districts beginning as early as the 1940s. For All the Small Schools is a photographic pursuit designed to rekindle memories of Iowa's great rural schools and the students, parents, and communities they served. As you join in this exploration of Iowa's small schools, your own memories will likely come alive whether or not your high school is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conditions and Needs of Iowa Rural Schools: 1. Country Schools Statistics; 2. The Country School Problem; 3. Present Status of Consolidation; 4. One Phase of the Teacher Problem; 5. School Buildings and Grounds It was our purpose to secure accurate and complete reports from every rural school in Iowa, showing the enrollment, aver age daily attendance, length of the school year and salaries of teachers; but many secretaries found it impossible to furnish the data asked for, but schools reporting out of a total of By reference to Table N o. I the number of rural schools maintained in each county may be seen, as also the number of schools reporting. While the statistics are incomplete, they are sufficiently full to show conditions as they actually exist in this State. In Tables III, IV and V, showing average daily attendance, frac tions of less than one-half are omitted, while fractions of one half or over are counted as units. This report is issued in the hope of awakening greater public interest in the rural schools, to the end that country children may be gathered in better schoolhouses, trained by better teach ers and have that training extend through a longer school year without the interruptions now so common in the frequent change of teachers.
