* DyingAlone: In ''Changes for Kirsten'', when setting out animal traps during the winter, Kirsten and Lars enter the cave home of a fur trapper named Old Jack and discover that he has died in his sleep from the cold. Since he has no family and no one to bury him, they pile stones against his door so animals can't get in, so they can come back and give him a proper burial in the spring, when the ground has thawed.

** Powderkeg School is a one-room schoolhouse in rural Minnesota, with the students ranging from little kids to almost-grown men. When Amos points out that he and the new teacher, Miss Winston, are both nineteen, she still makes it clear that she has full authority in the schoolhouse and expects his respect and deference -- then mocks him when he reveals he's still in one of the earliest readers.
** One magazine-only short story, "Kirsten's New Teacher", has Kirsten's older cousin Lisbeth Larson act as teacher while they're at home together snowed in without Miss Winston. Kirsten doesn't see her cousin as an authority figure since Lisbeth is only a few years older and Lisbeth struggles to be one until all the children at home find a better way to "teach" that day.
