Here we see a great one-room rural school, the Eureka School, near Canton, Illinois. At lkeast we think it is a one-room school because of the small number of childern. The children are, however, quite young. Perhaps there was an older group as well. The photograph that we have features Mrs. Cluts, an experienced looking teacher, and her brood of young learners taken from a Canton, Illinois photo album. The cildren are ll very serious, not a smile in the group. You can tell it is a a rural school as the boys all wear overlls. Every time I look at the photo I see something new. The one boy in overalls biting his lower lip. The girl in front a little shy to be the only one barefoot. One girl wears what we might have called a tunic suit with matching short pants, rather unusual for a girl.
