Junction school

Yesterday was an anniversary.  On April 11, 1965 the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was signed by Lyndon Johnson.  The signing was done at the Junction School which is on the grounds of the LBJ National Historic Park.  It was the first school that the future President attended, albeit at the early age of 4.  The is said to have sat on the lap of the teacher, Miss Kate Deadrich Loney, who attended the ceremony and sat beside him.

This page shows rules for teachers in the year 1872.  They will make you smile.
