In Deed, Indeed: Teaching and Learning in a One Room School

>This book is a unique collaboration between Gladys Dart, the teacher who reestablished the public school in the bush Alaskan village of Manley Hot Springs in 1959, and present student Alfred Wright. Through a number of sessions Gladys Dart, now retired, related her story and educational philosophy to Alfred who wrote it down and added his commentary at the end of each chapter. What started as an assignment in preparation for the 50th reunion of the school resulted in this book. From the early days in a one room cabin with Coleman lanterns for light and Blazo gas boxes for desks this story is a thoughtful look at the influences that made the school in Manley Hot Springs one of the best small rural schools in the State of Alaska.
