Letter: Amazing number of schools

Doug McCammish writes:
Wow! By quick count, that's 150 one- or two-room schools! That's a whole town in itself! Would it be possible someday to plot those on a timeline to see how many existed in any one decade or 20-year span? Was there consolidation? On the same timeline, could it be shown that school C was the consolidation of schools A & B? Huge project! No - I don't volunteer. ;)

Talk about neighborhood schools! The huge number makes it appear that some school would be maybe 5 minute's walk for any child. But we know that wasn't true. Of course the number meant at least 150 teachers also, also not true at any one time. Without being spread out over time, 150 schools just seems impossible. --Doug
