The following list of books is taken from county records for the 1914-15 school year. This list contains many novels, but also some important books like the Primer of Sanitation and, of course, Webster’s International Dictionary. The lists for district’s # 72 and #53 both contain The Farm Life Reader. This list demonstrates the yearning for outside experiences and knowledge in a small town lifestyle. It’s nice to know that home can serve you what you need.
