This is the Teaching Tree. It grows in a school yard near a members farm. Alex spends time on Wednesdays and Friday/Saturday, sitting at the tree teaching Dossey the wood-carver and Justice the blacksmith. They are recent converts to the church.
The school nearby is for elementary children. Most children only get education through the 8th grade, because of limited resources for more schooling. The classroom are very simple.
