Old Praire Town

Last Sunday we and my classmates from the Betusa program went to Topeka, capital of Kansas States. We visited the Old Prairie Town. We saw how people lived in states of Kansas in the past. We saw The Old Mansion, a Train Station and an old school. 

We saw how was school and how were classes at that time. We learned that at the time that  the classes were divided into two groups. Girls in one side, boys in the other, at the same time it was difficult for the teachers to have differente groups in the class because the students were also divided into groups according to their levels. The woman teachers could not be seen with a man. They were not supposed to get married. They were paid $ 1 dollar a day. They used to live in a student familiy for one month and then they moved to another student family. Disruptive student would seat in front of the class with dunce hats.
