Rural Schools of Macon County Published by the Macon County Historical Society in 1978, this 312-page book is a comprehensive historical resource that documents the many one-room and early rural schools of Macon County. It contains numerous black-and-white pictures and names of students, teachers, and school administrators, making it a valuable tool for historians and genealogists. The book is sometimes accompanied by a separate index volume. The Maroa-Forsyth School Archives, among other historical and genealogical societies, specifically recommends and references White's book for additional information on the history of school consolidation and individual rural schools in the county. Florence Scott White's Legacy In addition to her work as an editor and publisher, Florence Scott White was a long-time educator in Decatur. Her dedication to preserving the history of rural education in the area led to her being honored with "Florence White Day" in Illinois on one occasion. Her work ensures that the history of schools that were closed and consolidated, a widespread trend in the 1940s and 1950s, is preserved for future generations. The book serves as a vital record of a bygone era of education in central Illinois. Signed by Editor.
