This collection features oral history interviews focusing on one-room schoolhouses in rural Kansas. Students from the Fort Hays State University College of Education conducted the interviews of former students and teachers who attended and taught in one-room schoolhouses. The last one-room schoolhouse teacher in Kansas, Selola Lewis, is included in this collection. She taught at the Dermot School in Morton county until the final one-room school closed in 1992. Interviews were originally recorded on cassette tapes and then transferred to digital media. The files have been lightly edited to improve the user listening experience. Raw files of the original interviews along with supplemental materials like teacher biographies and district histories are available upon request.
