Shoe Shop School, Finney County, Kansas
This photograph shows the Shoe Shop School with paper covering the sides, wheels, and all. The paper proved to be poor insulation and did not keep the wind or the children from slipping under the school room floor. The ten children pictured were only half of Maude Elliott's pupils. She taught thirty-two classes a day, all eight grades.
previewFrank Clare's children going to school, Finney County, Kansas
This photograph shows Frank Clare's children as they were going to school in Finney County, Kansas. Maude Elliott could have ridden with them instead of walking the two or three miles each way, but she found it more relaxing to walk. She did ride with them a time or two, but the two older children quarreled the whole time and she had to hold the smaller child on her lap. She also had work to do after school and in cold weather went early to make a fire so it was easier to walk.
