Abstract

This study looks at the education and community of one-room schools in rural Ohio in the early 20th century. It focuses on three individuals, all of whom were students in one-room schools and two of whom taught in them. It ends with the consolidation of the one-room schools in Ashland County. Consolidating small schools was much touted by educators at the time, but it raises questions today about what the rural community lost and what it gained.
