One Room School Learnings From Catoctin Hills Teacher
Quote from Mr. McGill recalls a century old one room school in the Catoctin hills where students cut wood and haul water for a stove and where discipline has evolved from harsher days to a modern but demanding routine. The 1932 building replaced a burned structure and the school may soon end as newer facilities emerge.
