=School in the 19th century.=

"**children Spend 6 to 8 months in school"** A example of this topic is " Our district school was taught by a man in the winter and a young lady in the summer, this we attended while it kept, some six or eight months in the year." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=987

"In the early nineteenth century, New England was one of the few places in the world where the great majority of children went to school." http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=146
 * "Not many children went to school except in new England "**

"Most of them attended one-room district schools within walking distance of their homes. " http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=146
 * "Distance from homes to school was short"**

"Some children went to school nearly every day it was in session; others attended only when their parents did not need them at home" http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/document_viewer.php?DocID=146
 * "Some kids only went to school only when they were not needed at home"**


 * Conclusion:

In the 19th century school was not as important as it is now.**
