Among Country Schools

By Olly Jasper Kern

Book Overview

Among Country Schools is a book written by Olly J. Kern that explores the experiences and challenges of rural schoolteachers in the early 20th century. The book is a memoir of Kern's own experiences as a teacher in rural schools in Nebraska and Iowa in the 1920s and 1930s. Through his vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Kern offers a glimpse into the daily lives of teachers and students in small, one-room schoolhouses, where teachers often taught multiple grades and subjects simultaneously. He also discusses the unique challenges of teaching in rural areas, such as dealing with harsh weather conditions, limited resources, and the isolation of living in remote areas. Overall, Among Country Schools is a fascinating and insightful look at a bygone era in American education, and a tribute to the dedication and hard work of rural schoolteachers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
