i gather you are a youngster LOL ...think about it Now,60 years ago , if someone asked one to answer quikly ,, WHAT DO YOU DO TO DIM THE LITES,?the quik answer was TURN DOWN THE WICK! ,to take advantage of NATURAL LITE ,, LOTS OF windows WAS A MUST .. these school houses were built before rural electrification which began in the late 1920s ,and did not reach all areas of this county til early 1950s.kerosene lamps were common .some schools had their own lite plant ,, a simple gas engine and liquid GOULD battery glass containers ,it was the job of upper class boys to operate this on going science project ,also to fire the stove and anything else that contributed to comfort and welfare of all those in the school ,with that latitude of freedom coupled with the responsibility of many, these kids DEVELOPED PRIDE that multiplied with ambition .these kids went back to the farm and told Dad they could build their own electric plant, to modernize the family parlor and dairy parlor ,, and inspired to have hot baths and cold water under pressure with an inside toilet... it is VERY easy to understand why the GREATEST GENERATION became so GREAT .. they were raised and developed to realize that the best true success depended on their own ability to perform , these young men went on to endure and become officers and win world war 2, become elected on school bds and state senate and or go to further education in various fields ,many one room scholl house minds were building the best and yet simple farm tractors and equipment of the 1970s , keep in mind, america had some very nice tuf cars back in that era..if we could capture the ability to teach all that personel moral conviction and appetite to our next generations that the Greatest Generation eagerly embraced ,,America Would HAVE a MUCH BRITER FUTURE .
