The school exhibit offers an interesting glimpse
of the old-time Hazleton area classroom. The lectern in front was
used for many years by Ruth Koch, who taught art in several Hazleton
schools.
 Lying
on one of the desks is a paddle bearing the name of "Mr. Capelado,"
a reminder that corporal punishment once was routine in local schools.
Lending to the old-time atmosphere
are antique accessories, such as an old handbell and an inkwell.
In the back is a pot-bellied stove,
typical of the type used to heat one-room schoolhouses.
