The schools- of this era wore demolished following the.-
building of^’the new school in ‘ 1955. At that time it was re
ferred to afe a model-school for other school boards .intending
to build. Classes commenced in it- on November 14, 1955 with
^Mrs/ LoRoy Poth (a’former pupil) principal, • and Mrs. Wm. •’
E. Rather, assistant: (
The formal opening was on May 30, 1956, One.of the
speakers was. the-Rf. Rev. Wm. A.-Townshend, D.D., L.L.D.,

Lucy 'contends that iri her day' tee pupils received a much
better education, than today.' They got a good grouadihig in • '
ail. subjects -from- geography to hygiene.”. Word appreciation .

weye ready fOr ..the secondary school and from it to higher

"'/■ Itjis' Lucy’s humble opinion that in matters .of education
i in ..Qptariio we 'have", come too .far too quickly. The teaching
system' has been changed more than once. The large consolii-
d!ated school, '.has. beep tried in the. States and found wanting.
Some States are now. in the process of breaking up. into1
sinaller units; , ■
When, a country be,comes self-satisfied and its leaders
think they know everything —• as per .present move — it
begins to goy backward. And who are we to proclaim' teat we
'know‘better than the Greei<s, Egyptians. Romans, Chinese,
etc., when they were af .the height of their culture?- There
is-nothing new under tee sun —, only different versions of
ancient knowledge. - .
We the- taxpayers will pay, for- the Centennial .School.
.And perhaps -in ten years; educational thought /Will Vhiave
changed again. But taxes will have ■ to be paid for large-
scaled experimentation and attendant frills. We hope we’ll
■ get our money's worth! ’ , . . “' ,
Lucy wonders how smoothly things will run in this, new "
'• school! In her day the. teacher helped the littlo ones with
; their winter clothes and footwear. One mother, told her that
. tee pupils all had to change into running shoes before entering
the new school — an added expense for .the parents. Imagine
about 600 pairs of shoes, plus muddy rubbers or overshoes
. sitting in the vestibule! Who will sort out the out-d!oor shoes,
. and'running shoes, and be sure the pupils get their cwn?
