What subjects were taught in grade school during the early 1920's? One subject was the Geography of Wisconsin. Below are copies of the workbook Albert Bose studied from when he went to Berryville School in Somers Township. It won't take long to notice that much of the workbook relates to farming.

How many questions can you answer?
