"Little School House on the Prairie", you've all seen it and or read it. There it was, "The Little Red (School) House" on the Prairie. One room, rows, teacher's desk, drill and practice, agrarian schedule and the pot bellied stove in the corner. When the town grew, they added another room, and then another, and soon they had to add yet another Little School House on the other side of town. Soon there were lots of Little School Houses on the Prairie. Time slipped by and things changed. There was the Industrial Revolution, the railroad, huge immigration and migration, the automobile, electricity and the telephone. Now, the "Little School House on the Prairie" was in every town and in every city. So many changes in our growing country ... and so few changes in our schools.
