During planting and harvest, children from farming families needed to leave school. In 1905, there were 83 one-room school houses each serving a small farm neighborhood. As the economy changed, children attended school more often to take advantage of new opportunities. By 1920, there were only 38 one room schools as well as many larger schools serving farms and towns."
