some very sorry times, frequently
through their mischievious school-
, mates, who can be desperately
mean on occasion,
I have heard people say to my
surprise that they had
lection of their first day
To some extent it is a
day, It was to me.
In those far off days holidays
did not commence until the second
week in July, So it was on a sun
ny July morning I toddled off with
big sister from our home
j4th concession,
To a five-year-old it was
and strange experience, to
crowd of noisy children playing
around the old school house. One
boy, shouting at the top of his
voice “Sailor Logie, Sailor Logie”.
On the side road at Rd. Blatch-
ford’s gate, Geo. Blatchford came
out teasingly singing “Maggie by
My Side” to my sister. He was a
fine jolly lad. After teaching in
Canada he came bask home to
Exeter where he died of T,B.
The school house had a pretty
partition. I sat between my sister
and her seat mate, Marion White
ford. Elias Battle, a fine looking,
black bearded man, was the prin
cipal, and noticing the new-comer,
he came down and drew a funny
picture on my slate. Later/ I was
slipped under the curtain into the
room of the assistant teacher, Miss
Weir,

but I think I can recall the names
of all the teachers in No. 1, Us
borne during the time of my atten
dance which was rather limited
for the first few years, not being
able to attend school in the winter.
After Mr. Battle, Mr. Currie was
principal for some time, with Mr.
Ackenhead. I am not sure of the
order in which the others came
but there were Adam Case, Benj.
Cronin Case, Will Ross, Miss Wil
lis (granddaughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Murray who lived in the stone
house on the London Road). I re
member her as a nice, kind teach
er; also Miss Janet Strang (later
becoming the wife of Rev:

kindly sympathetic understanding
won the hearts of .her pupils, ‘es
pecially the shy or backward. J.
E. Anderson taught without an as
sistant for some years and was un
sparing in his use of the strap to.
enforce discipline.
His successor, Robert A. Hagan,
who came from Northern Huron,
remained for a number of years in
the school and married Miss Annie
Buchanan whose home was in the
district. Mr. Hagan was my last
■teacher there when I passed the
Entrance Examination and later
went to Seafoth Collegiate. Agnes
Moir and Bella Lowe were with
j me in the entrance class and we
had to go to Seaforth to write our
examinations.

As we recall the names of some
who got their early learning in
this old school and went out into
the teaching and other professions,
we are convinced that very good
work was done and though the
standards of those days were per
haps not as high as they are now,
a fine opportunity was given for
those who had the ability and am
bition to get on.
