Grass Valley, California. Gert is in the second row from the top to the right, and Maude is in the next
row down, second from the left. Shilling & Co., San Francisco, Cal. Photographer. Gert and Maud were
probably in different grades in elementary school, but it was common in those days for a teacher to
have a class of more than one grade. She would teach one while the other listened or studied their
homework and then teach the other class. My wife, Marty, attended Elm Grove School, a two-room
country school in Kansas, the same school her mother and uncle had attended. She said it worked well.
The kids got to hear a subject taught twice and learned the subject more thoroughly. Because Marty
was a farm girl and went to a country elementary school, she thought she would not do well later in
school. She became the Valedictorian of her high school class. She made mostly As and Bs in college at
the University of Kansas and then at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Nebraska, making the
Dean’s List twice at Nebraska.
