jan 1, 1955 - PA agrees to a new "vocational school" option for the Amish.

Description:

Because hundreds of Amish fathers are imprisoned for refusing to send their children to high school. Children attend school through eighth grade, after which they can work at home and go to an Amish vocational class once a week until they are 15. This plan will be copied in other Amish regions across the country.
