WRITING SCHOOLS

Writing schools were important and enjoyed by many pioneers who were unable to write English when they arrived here.  The schools were taught by men and women in the community.  They also served as a form of entertainment.  No refreshments were served since the people than had little money and since most pioneers didn't believe in eating between meals.

Many youngsters took advantage of these schools for more chance to improve their writing and to spend a pleasant evening.
