About the Saskatchewan One Room School Project
| Saskatchewan One Room School Project provides an online history for current generations to enjoy, preserve, and experience, our historical educational, architectural, and cultural, heritage. The one room school house of the late 1800s of the NWT and early 1900s provided education to a burgeoning population. This project honors the communities, teachers and students of that era. The objective of the Saskatchewan One Room School Project is an online project for those interested with the digital preservation of Saskatchewan country schools, recording the location of one room schools, celebrating the legacy of schoolhouses remaining, restored or commemorated by plaque or picture, the history of the people and places involved, digital capture of images, data, memories and recollections from those who taught and attended Saskatchewan One Room School houses Where are these schools today? Do any remain? The School Districts Listing contains the names, legal land description and dates of establishment of over 5,000 school districts (mainly rural one-room schools), established in Saskatchewan after 1884 giving rise to the Pioneer Slogan ~ "A New School Everyday for Twenty Years (1900-1920)." By 1947 there were 5,192 school districts in Saskatchewan. One Room School Houses dotted the province about 4-6 miles apart limiting a child's walking distance to school to 2 -3 miles. The Larger Unit Act of 1944 produced 33 larger school units by 1951, evolving to the 28 school divisions of today. One-room schools are no longer used in Saskatchewan, the rural geography shifted from small family quarter-sections to larger farm operations, the number of children to sustain the small schools declined. Remaining rural pupils are conveyed into centralized schools with the increasing use of motorized travel on improved highways, and school consolidation. The gallery content varies, including historical class and school house photos, teacher and pupil correspondence and historical school documents. Photographs of commemorative markers and plaques along with contemporary images of school houses still standing are added to the gallery along with biographies and images of teachers, principals, school inspectors and pupils. The legal land locations of the school and nearby towns with school district map segments serve to place the school in context geographically. Local history books are noted alongside which may record more information about the one room school, pupil and teacher names. The dates listed include school district milestones: school district incorporation, school building erection, first class, last class, school district dissolution along with the fate of the school house are recorded when known. How did schools obtain teachers? Saskatchewan Normal Schools and Union Schools were the precursors of University courses providing teacher training when there was a drastic shortage of teachers in Saskatchewan. What about yearbooks? The history of teacher education is supplemented by Normal School year books. How did the one room school house education system evolve into the school system in use today? Book transcriptions of pioneer school planning (Survey of Education 1918, The Country School in Non-English Speaking Communities in SK. 1915 and History of Education, 1924 are complemented with a timeline; the Evolution of Education in Saskatchewan. The one room schoolhouses across North America looked to neighbouring communities for guidance and support in developing their own curriculum, standards, and school acts. Reminiscences are included as they are submitted, entire books, chapters or stories and activities of one room schoolhouse times, history and days gone by. The guestbook provides an online centre to reach out to the one room school community. The One Room Schoolhouse is an endangered species today. What has been the role of the One Room School House District to the family, in the community and for the province of Saskatchewan? All of us have the ability to respond in preserving memories of this important and vanishing part of our history!
