The School Room
|
|
The schoolmarm is a replica of a teacher who taught in Saguache schools for many years (and who helped set up this school room in 1959). Many adults step into the room and immediately recognize "Bessie" the teacher! McGuffy's readers along with early schoolbooks are encased in a glass cabinet. Quill pens and fountain pens, which were filled with ink from a bottle, are on the teacher's desk. Reading charts which are still helpful today with children who have weak reading skills, and pictures of many classes are on view, on the old pump organ in the room. |
