Teacher, Dorothy Flood
Typical interior of many rural schools of this period. Note the thermometer hangs from the ceiling at the center of the room. The wood-burning furnace on the right as the doors hanging open to let more heat into the room. The globe hangs from the ceiling by a rope and pulleys so it can be pulled down. Usually there was a large picture of George Washington and a map on a roller. Note the attendance chart – “the Key to Success” and “Up the Steps to Health” a check list for good health habits. |
