Mt. Horeb: The Little White
Schoolhouse on Little Deer Creek
Mt. Horeb: The Little White Schoolhouse on Little Deer Creek is a brief history of my schooling in Street, Maryland, where I walked the dirt road to the little one-room schoolhouse called Mt. Horeb from 1946 to 1948, when the school closed. I never forgot my first-, second-, and fourth-grade teacher, Ms. Constance Smith, with whom I had kept in contact.
I have always been interested in history and was delighted with Miss Smith’s suggestion that Mt. Horeb’s past be looked into and shared. This volume has three focuses:
1) The Nostalgic Remembrances of an Early Maryland One-Room School by Those Who Attended and Taught There (With Interesting Data and Old-Timey Pictures)
2) A Brief, Succinct, and Eye-Opening History of Small Schools in America
3) Easy-to-Read Research Briefs That Support Returning to Smaller, Local-Community Schools Today
