Summary "The Old-Time Spelling School; In Three Parts" by John G. Ellenbecker is a nostalgic poetic work written in the early 20th century. Composed in a reflective style, the book pays tribute to the communal and educational spirit of rural America during a time when spelling bees were a significant social event. It explores the experiences of pioneer families in Kansas and highlights the importance of these spelling contests in fostering camaraderie and competition among students from nearby schools. The book is divided into three parts: "Golden Valley," "The Contest," and "Musical." In "Golden Valley," the author recalls the joyful memories of spelling schools where young and old came together to demonstrate their spelling prowess and entertain one another. "The Contest" captures the excitement and tension of a significant spelling competition between different districts, showcasing the hard work and dedication of the participants. Finally, "Musical" shifts to a celebratory atmosphere as local talent is showcased through music and performances, culminating in a joyful community gathering. Overall, Ellenbecker's work serves as a heartfelt remembrance of simpler times and the foundational role that education and community played in the lives of early settlers.
