Old Country School

These old schools used to be all over the country. Not so many left standing anymore.

My dad and I went to an old school house that is now torn down and went and metal detected. It was right in the middle of a corn field with a big tree right beside it.

Brings back memories. I graduated out of the 8th grade at an old country school. It was Southeast of Chetopa Kansas, and one mile from the Oklahoma line. It had a coal stove in the middle of the floor. I love the old country schools, and I photographed about 15 of them here in Labette county and surrounding counties. Many of them have been torn down since then. The kids were better off at these schools....progress?
