FEBRUARY ea. 1898 lif*tory of Seh.00l No. 0, wawauosh. *School No. 9, as it is commonly called, is situated on the lath con- cession, aim and Oho eighth miles from the Morris anti • Wewanosit gravel road. it present it is a frame atructure, painted recl, attractive without and comfortable and com- modious within. It is surrounded by a haltacre play ground recently levelled and seeded down and sur- rounded by a neat patent wire fence, '7.'be scholars number about thirty, ranged all the way from the in- tricacies and delusions of GA T, B -A -T, HA T, to the mathematicians who can solve ÷1 and the geographers who can ciescribe the climate of Peru or the physi features of Van Dienutn's la.nd. The school was founded in '59, t years after California Klondike a eight years before the welding the provinces into the Dominion Canada,. The first shoo l house a a to building, with rotigh, unco tenable desks and benches, t teatther's desk being placed in t centre of the room. The teache residence (teachers could marry -those days) also a log building, w just on the corner. Those were t good old days. School fights we just as certain as school prayers, an with some teachers a great deal mo so, Fighting was part of the bey education and, indeed, many we very proacient. for more could "p up a guod scrap" than could wor the rule of three. There were boys in those day we are led to believe, who had greater dread for soap than la baeteria germs, and whose hair neve felt the penetrating and persuadin Influence of a comb, but the hal was then more dense, even, than th -scholars. Hair witting was a gum operation; a bowl was placed on th head of the one about to be tortured and those locks that were indiscreet enough to 'peep beneath it were in discriminately clipped off. The first teacher was one jetties Patterson, followed by Mr. Walker and then by Paddy Breen. Poor Paddy, like many other Paddies, was never known to have a bottle full et whiskey. He was a disabled soldier, altboegh his wound was not such to wound his erudition. He was a zealous teacher, eo zealous sti that he found it necessary to take something stimulating daring school Ones; he took a "drap" after each class, so yoa .may rest assured that his time table contained. many classes. Sometimes, however, when classes were few the bottle at tour o'clock contained a eurplus such as the most staunch Conservative could not dispute. On these rare occasions Paddy remained in the school house diplomatically designing to dispose of it. When he would emerge from Its threshold the "poison" would have peeeteated to the very heel of his cork leg, for it played him sotne queer tries, especially when he tried to balance himself on the plank crossing the ditch et the lower end of the school ground. It was while performing this perilous feat that a peculiar accident once befell hint. We will relate it as told ta us by leobert Cummings, brother of J, 13. Cummings, of Wingham, who was one of the participants. "When school was out we got a eta.w and sawed the plank almost through from the bottom side. To look at it, it appeared, as innocent as a professional liar. We hid in the bashes waitieg for Paddy to appear; when he did cotne he Was in that particular state of bliss that required Win to place his legs very far apart as he walked, the eork leg being rnore playful than usual.
