/
Delaplane, Kristin
[259]
[ECHOS-1995-259]
Information for this article came from the Solano Genealogy Society and the Yolo County Library. Fourth in a series. A school was somewhat established in Davisville's first year when the children attended classes in a small building. As there were more students than would fit in this structure, the students took turns learning their lessons; thus, half the students would be standing outside. In bad weather, they all huddled in the close quarters of the one room. Shortly, a larger room was made available and was in use until 1870.

Historic sites hidden by a veil of the past
/
Bowen, Jerry
[616]
[WAYITWAS-2005-616]
Perhaps in this piece I'll raise an awareness of the rapidly disappearing historic sites that we are losing in Solano County or of those that have already vanished because so little is known about them.

Could schools of the past teach us something?
/
Bowen, Jerry
[766]
[WAYITWAS-2007-766]
This is the last in a series on the early rules of grammar school education. The subjects discussed were penmanship, bookkeeping and current events, as taken from the 1911 Solano County Course of Study.
