"The Rural Teacher" profiles a teacher - and a school - in a tiny community along Montana's Rocky Mountain Front. A century ago, there were more than 200,000 one-room schools across the United States. Today, that number has shrunk to about 400. Nearly a quarter of them are Montana, and the women and men who teach in them still play a crucial role in rural communities.
