Chickaree in the Wall: A history of one-room schools in Ocean County NJ

December 23, 2021 By

$10.00

By Carolyn M. Campbell, M. Peryl King, Martha T. Smith:  The story of one-room schools moves from the mid 1800’s, when schools were in such disrepair that chickarees (squirrels) nested in the walls, to 1943 when the last one-room school was closed.   Over 100 photos and maps, interviews with teachers and pupils, and quotations from the time emphasize the changes that have occurred in education during this century.  Specific information about the county’s 76 one-room and 8 multiroom schools is given in the directory.
