Rural Schools of Eaton County, Michigan/The Eaton County Historical Commission

Sunfield, MI: Sunfield Sentinel, 2015, 352 pages, DVD

The three Rs, 'reading,’ 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, were taught in Eaton County’s country schools from the 1850s to the 1960s, along with geography, civics, hygiene, and the Palmer Method of handwriting. This book contains the stories of those Eaton County schools and the rural people who placed the education of their children as a high priority by building a school within walking distance. Ring the school bell, play a game of tag, join the school board at their meetings and help us to honor a special era in the education of American scholars for over a century
