Ruth Bowdoin shares her memories of founding and operating the Classroom on Wheels, started in 1969 for underprivileged students in Murfreesboro City Schools.

"Until we in education can realize that until we reform our homes, our poor homes, those with limited experiences, those without rich language, those with few experiences for their children, those who do not know how to manage in a way that will make children productive and mentally healthy and have good self esteem, we cannot do it in the schools--because we cannot possibly make up the deficit that accrues without some intervening programs."
