Indiana Educators Use Vintage One-Room School To Teach History Lesson

The Journal and Courier (12/30, Lange) reports that teachers at Webb Elementary School in Franklin, Indiana, periodically take students to the "one-room Dollens School," a nineteenth-century building used by teachers at two local elementary schools to "help students experience a school day similar to one from the late 1800s. During the summer, the Johnson County Retired Teachers Association donated $31,000 to the schoolhouse so that restrooms could be added near the building. The hope is that the addition entices other school districts and community groups from central Indiana to visit, retired teachers association president Charles Cragen said."
