I am grateful for the generous cooperation of those persons, too numerous to mention individually,

who contributed indirectly to this publication. Many thanks to those whose names appear in the

book for their willingness to enlighten me about their one-room-school experience. And special

thanks to David, who assisted and encouraged me to carry on.

Historic photos are from the collection of the author, Mary Keithan.
