One-room schools are part of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for the way things were. One-room schools are an endangered species, however. For more than a hundred years one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-spaces between towns.

David Jones and His Salary
The 16-year-old works for a small firm In Livepool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. Davids firm releases two new games for the home computer market each month.
He lives with his parents in Livepool. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that his year. He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
David added: I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.
