Exposed, Unbanked, Weatherbeaten, Knowledge Box: The Schools of Sandwich, New Hampshire 1802- 1950

     People who have attended "one-room" schools share a bond and have deep-seated memories of the experience. The local stories  recorded in this publication illustrate the range of those memories, undoubtedly generic to all who have attended these schools. Some recall the positive learning experience of being able to help those who were younger. On the other hand, some stories recall the overwhelming and immobilizing sense of panic for a young child to have to raise his hand in front of the older students to ask to leave the room.
                             
     Twenty-five schools are chronicled in photos and words. Pictures of most of the schools and many pictures of students are included as well as other items associated with schooling in Sandwich in years past.
