ERIC ED543386: Schools in the Bituminous Coal Regions of the Appalachian Mountains. Bulletin, 1920, No. 21
This 1920 Bureau of Education bulletin, number 21, reports on schools in the bituminous coal regions of the Appalachian Mountains, prepared for government educators and rural school officials. Its plate pages show small frame teachers' cottages and homes in Virginia and Pennsylvania, plus schoolchildren at recreation and domestic science classes, and a community house in Alabama. A designer could take plain, documentary photographs of modest rural wooden houses, porches, and classroom scenes with a clear sense of early twentieth-century Southern vernacular architecture.
