School Census 

The earliest Carroll County School Census we have been able to find began with 1890. School census was taken every five years. If a child got to go to school, it was in a one room school house. There was usually one teacher, who taught all grades. A family with several children may have sent half of them to school one day and the other half the next because they were needed at home to help do the farm and house work.
