School Days in The Country, 1940s By: Col.Carlis B. Wilson School days were a busy time in the country The day started out like any other day with all the duties of farm life: feeding stock, milking, and gathering wood and water for the day. When school times rolled around the kids would walk to school. School was about three miles away if the road was taken, but we were willing to walk through fields and climb fences to make a much shorter path--sometimes we would get scratches and torn clothes by climbing over fences--but it was worth it for the short cut was about one mile, which was not too bad for children that were used to walking.
