Later on sunday morning. Our collective sense of humor lost a bit of its edge with the passing of joan rivers. Whose funeral will be held this morning in new york city. Richard schlesinger pace tribute. Oh, grow up. Joan rivers once said she succeeded by saying what everyone else was thinking. Sometimes she said things wed rather not think about.

Its a oneroom school house. Lets talk about the earth. Osgood later, taking note a single. ,,,,,,,,,, osgood when it comes to learning bigger is not necessarily better. As Barry Peterson sound out when he found the oneroom school house. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america. For a century and a half, montanas Pioneer Mountains have echoed with the young voices from the divide one room school. And justice for all. Yes, there are still oneroom Public Schools in america. Lets talk about the earth. How does the earth naturally filter water . Today about 200 oneroom schools carry on tradition that is older than america itself. While the frontier where they first appeared may be gone, the spirit that they helped create is alive and well in towns across rural america. This isnt just a school down the street. Right. This is the heart of the community. At Divide School judy boyle loves what she does. I have teacher meetings once a week, its with me, myself and i. Teaches grades k8 at times its had as many as 30 students. David, how are you . When we visited last spring boyle had only three students so she could give such individual attention she made lesson plans for each student. You are designing something custom made for these three kids. Yes. That is a great thing to be able to do as a teacher. It is. You can respect their differences. And what makes them tick. Really, brick there some are key similarities between oneroom school house and your neighborhood school. Take the cost. Its roughly the same per student. In all the schools have to meet the same state and National Standards and sometimes like at divide there are additional expectations at a school that has been operating since the 1870s. Small communities their schools are really important to them. Why . Because the school is what generates the reputation that have town. There was a time when almost every american child learned in a withinroom school in the 1700s john adams taught near boston. Abe lincoln was educated in oneroom school and henry ford loved his so much he had it moved to a museum in michigan. As late as 1913, half of Americas School children were enrolled in the countrys 200,000, oneroom schools but after the First World War oneroom schools started to close as people moved in to cities and Small Schools started to consolidate. For most of us its folklore that was in little house on the prairie. No, maam. You captain learn it properly. Its been a long time since the farm lands near lansing, michigan, were prairie. Lets see. Linda spent three years as the sole teacher at the strange oneroom school. Last year she taught a class of 128 ages 512. Strange school was founded in 1879, the kids still sit in the exact same classroom except now they learn on ipads. But one teacher job requirement hasnt changed across all those years. Being self sufficient. The big school, teach were call in the guidance counselor, that would be you. Or complain to the principal, that would be you. At first it was overwhelming but now its part of the job. And you just have to instinct to know what to do and what to say. Here the lessons are not just about math or science. But about older children helping the younger ones with things like learning how to read. Theres an unusual teaching tool that may only work in a oneroom school, eavesdropping. Sure helped then first grader. I was like, listening to all the third grade stuff i learned a lot. He came home from kindergarten what is the civil war . You know, he didnt know civil war. He hears them talking. Which is why cynthia, herself a teacher as a Christian High School wanted 7yearold thomas in a oneroom school even though there were bigger schools closer to their home. Kindergarten he already moved up to first grade, reading and math. And it was a smooth transition. I dont want him to grow up to fast. I want him to enjoy his childhood, i want him to be a child. In this school he is still a first grader but hes doing second and third grade work in reading and math. At strange, there are other lessons of life, students must clean the school every day. What are you trying to teach there . Responsibility. I think responsibility goes with every aspect of life. It carries over to a work ethic that everyone should have instilled in them. You might think kids would miss things like team sports but they dont. At divvy the local oneroom schools get together to make up a track or basketball team. But for some, its hard when day comes to go to the big City High School it. Can in a word terrifying. You are going from seven, eight kids to thousands. How did you handle it . Pretty poorly at first. I guess freshman year moved on was able to make friends, talk to people, get on with my life. John is now College Freshman studying Computer Science says on balance the oneroom school was the unique foundation for a life of learning. How do you think you did academically against the kids who had gone through a Normal School system. In the top ranks. Why . I think it was education here. There was no discouragement, what can you learn, what can you do . I love this one. Im with the students. For nine years of their life. You cant help but love them. They were a part of you. Im a part of them. No wonder when it comes to education the teachers and students in oneroom schools so often consider themselves the lucky ones. The new miss america next. There she is.

September 7, 1921. 93 years ago today. When beauty put the boardwalk in Atlantic City on the map. That day, eight girls arrived on the new jersey shore to compete for the title of the very first miss america. The intercity beauty contest as it was originally called was a stunt dreamt up by Business Owners who wanted to keep the summer crowds in town beyond labor day. To apiece conservative groups tantalized by the loosening morals of the roaring 20s, contestants wore modest bathing suits, were not allowed to wear make up or bob their hair. The winner was 16yearold Margaret Gorman from washington, d. C. At 51 she was spitting image of mary pickford. She was wrapped in an American Flag given a golden mermaid trophy. Miss america beginning 1954 the pageant moved to television drawing audiences of the millions. Meet your subjects as we sing your song. Shortly thereafter emcee bert parks started tradition with this now famous song. There she is miss america over the years the miss America Pageant has had to change along with social mor,es, of the times. In 1945, Bess Meyerson became first jewish miss america. The pageants rule seven, limiting participants to white women was eventually dropped. It was 1984 where Vanessa Williams was the first African American to wear the crown. There she is. More than 10,000 young women hope to compete in the miss america beauty pageant. A far cry from the eight beauties who started it all back on the boardwalk in 1921. Coming you. Singing the blues. Madeline peyroux. That is the smokey sound of Madeline Peyroux not all that long ago she was american in paris singing on the streets with hat in hand. Today she performs on stage for blues fans around the world. Story comes from terrell brown, now with station wls in chicago. If i were to close my eyes and i heard you but i couldnt see you, i would think that you were an old black soul singer. What do you think about it . Well, i think its cool. Listen to Madeline Peyroux youll here echos of some of the greatest singers of all stripes. Patsy cline, bessie smith, bob dylan, edith piaf and billie holiday. Shes been called jazz, youve been called folk. Some have even said a little bit of country. When you think about it, what are you . Im a blues singer, i think . The blues . Her latest recording a tribute to a Ground Breaking ray charles album released half a century ago. Theres Madeline Peyroux touch. What is it . Silence. Lots of silence and a little just a little bit of pain. You know, its a joke we have with the guys i was playing with recently, its just so it hurts just a little bit. Thats what i like. The roots of that little bit of pain run deep. Madeline peyroux grew up in pennsylvania with stops in hollywood and new york. Her father was a College Professor and she says she was deeply affected by his struggle with depression and alcoholism. When she was 11, her parents divorced. And her mother was offered a job in paris. Madeline, her mother and brother took offer for a new life overseas. It was a big dream for her. She was ready for a new start. I naively thought that were going to be one big happy family. Madelines mother still lives in paris. Came immediately with a big chip on her shoulder. I went off and became wild in my teenage years, did i my share of drinking and just raising hell as we say. Because of dad . I knew how to do it. I had seen him do it. Madeline found solace playing her guitar. She needed it because she wasnt fitting in at the strict french schools. When she was put in an english boarding school, she ran away. There were bars on the windows and she unscrewed those. Left all her things, got her guitar jumped out the window and hitchhiked to a friends house and first thing i get a phone call saying your daughter has disappeared. Her mothers patience had run out. I gave her an ultimatum. You either stay in school or you can go back to new york and live with your father but this is not a hotel. When it was finally clear that i was no longer going to go school my mom had gone to the bottom of that pit with me. And then it was like, now, well, thats it. Youre done. She simply took her guitar and she went out to find where the music was. She was only 15. Mad lip was living on the streets of paris. You could say she was homeless. Or you could say she found a new family. Street musicians, who pushed her to develop her singular voice. I never shot she had a real talent until she would sing on the street. I thought it was a teenage rebellion. For her mother there were long nights full of worry. But one evening she wept looking for madeline she had a revelation. I heard this voice singing georgia on my mind. Ill still start crying when i think of that moment. Thats madeline. A Record Company executive heard peyroux and offered a record deal. Ever the contrarian she at first said no. It took several years. What changed your mind . I couldnt find anything else to do. It was literally by default. Well, i tried to look around and say, you know, can i do Something Else . No, this is it. It didnt take long for critics to discover her, since then shes released half a dozen albums now spends much of her time on tour. Extra shot . Always. Reluctant star she retreats to a quiet neighborhood in brooklyn. I kind of stay inside. I justify in the house. Would you say youre happy . Yeah. Right now . Yeah. Is that different than before . I liked the idea of growing up. I always loved my freedom. I have freedom right now. These days Madeline Peyroux has both happiness and that little bit of pain to share with her fans. Its a feeling her mother knows most clearly of all. When madeline stands on the stage shes not the performer Madeline Peyroux, shes my baby standing up there and shes in the middle of the moment thats so precious. The gear is different. Osgood ahead.

One of the lucky ones who came home from the great war, was never called world war i until world war ii came along. Martha teichner looks back at what should have been the war to end all warsment. True story, 600 taxis come deered from the streets of paris shuttled 6,000 reinforcements to the battlefield. Soldiers who by many accounts made all the difference. The french and british defeated the germans at the first battle. But already the kind of war it would be was becoming evident. In absolute numbers, this war defies previous understandings of war then defines future expectations of war. Oxford professor is one of the worlds most noted world war i scholars. The lesson from this war still is we want to avoid war. The sense of the loss of life becomes from 1914. It began with isolated act of terrorism. On june 28th, 1914, in the bosnian capital, the heir apparent to the hungarian throne and his wife were shot by serbian nationalist. How could the streets nation of an arch duke lead to a world war .
