Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on synopsis page. Foxing marks on top and tail foredge. Fading to spine. Binding and interior are still very good.

The weatherboard galvanised iron or stone one-teacher schools began their rapid spread across rural Australia with the selectors and compulsory education acts of the 1870s.

Over 6,000 Australian one-teacher schools have closed since 1930. With their passing, the map of rural Australia has been thinned. Hank Nelson examines what was taught and what is now remembered.

With Its Hat about Its Ears is rich with the nostalgia of sack race and barn dance. Nelson has linked reminiscences of teachers and pupils with detailed archival research. The result is engaging anecdotes and significant social history.
