- Inside America's oldest wooden school house.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: INSIDE AMERICA’S OLDEST WOODEN SCHOOL HOUSE #1272 ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Using dog-eared books a hundred years old, these children from a nearby school simulate conditions of past years in the oldest wooden school house in America, built here in 1565. Miss Rosemary Pike, their regular third-grade teacher, is the instructor, but in days past the children would have been instructed by a man. The hat of a former teacher still hangs on a peg behind Miss Pike. And that is an original dunce cap Bobbie Walker is sporting.
