With one year's training at Toronto Teacher's College and no curriculum resources except a list of subjects, Linda Hutsell-Manning created and taught courses for eight grades. Built in 1860, the school had seen better days and resembled many one-room schools across Canada. With a wood stove, two pit toilets, a cold water tap, and no storm windows, many students experienced their entire elementary school education here. Linda's memoir traverses the Kennedy assassination, the Beatles craze and smallpox shots. She worked ten-hour days and made on-the-spot decisions as teacher and principal. \"Circumstance gave me this opportunity; time has deemed it to be one of the most challenging and great experiences of my life,\" says Linda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003eHer one-room school serves as a backdrop to marvellous stories about a world that, perhaps regrettably, or perhaps not, will never come again.\" - --\u003cstrong\u003eShane Peacock, \u003c\/strong\u003e multi-genre author, the latest, \u003cem\u003eMonster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda Hutsell-Manning demonstrated ingenuity, courage and a quiet power as she struggled to educate her students.
