Title
Recess at America's oldest wooden school house.
Description
Text transcribed from caption: RECESS AT AMERICA’S OLDEST WOODEN SCHOOL HOUSE #1270 ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Recess is a welcome interval at any school, but at this wooden school house, built in 1565, it is particularly charming as it is held in the garden behind the building. The small outbuilding with the ivy-covered chimney is a kitchen where the former masters cooked their own meals. The school is no longer used for instruction. Children attend nearby Orange Street School. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (ALT-COLO-MES-12-5 ROTO-O-J)

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.
