Where the three "R's" were taught - readin', ritin' and 'rithmitic.  All of these schools existed in Shasta County at one time or another.  Some are still standing vacant and slowly deteriorating, while others have been refurbished and given a new lease on life as cute little homes, museums, churches, and community meeting places.  Others are long gone.
