Turnbull's school 62 years ago
Editor's Note:
Mrs. John (Amy, Spier) of
Brussels was one of nine teachers
' who started teaching in 1918 and
who attended the annual dinner
banquet of the North Huron Unit
of the Ontario women Teacher's
Federation in Brussels in honor of
the Federation's - 60th
anniversary.
Folilowing is a , speech Mrs.
Spier made to the teachers at the
banquet about the first school she
taught at -- Turnbull's School,
S.S,No. 2 Grey and her
experiences there. The 80 year
old Mrs. Spier is currently living
in Brussels.
Speech making was never "up
my alley" so I'll just have to read
you a few items which happened
when I was teaching 62 years ago.
My first school was S.S.#2
Grey , Turnbull's School which is
3 miles south of here- turn left
and go 2'/2 miles down 16 con; of
Grey.
.It was a one room brick school
and heated with a box stove. The
caretaker put, on the fire in the
A.M. and then the pupils and I
kept it going for the day. Our
drinking water was in a pail and
on cold A. M's both the water and
the ink in the ink wells were
frozen. If it were' a real cold day
we sat near the fire - our fronts
cooking and our backs freezing. I
had 12 or 13 pupils in 5 or 6
grades. Salary $535 first year,
$585 the second.
The school is still standing and
of late years has been used to
raise pigs in.
The people of the section were,
kind and hospitable and the
teacher was often asked to, have
supper when the threshers or silo
fillers were there - always an
abundance of food.
One day in the winter I was
invited to one of my pupils'
homes for supper and to stay all
night. After 4 we started walking
up the.road and a distance of one
mile and then up a lane, I'm sure
was a 1/4 mile. It was a sunny cold
day but we didn't seem to notice
the cold so were in no hurry.
Finally we arrived :at the warm
farm house and on taking off my'

cap, the mother remarked
"What's wrong with your ears -
they're very white. On feeling
them they were so stiff, you'd
almost think they'd break off.
They were frozen - cold cloths and
snow were put on them and they
thawed out. They were swollen
and sore so that I couldn't sleep
on either side for a few nights.
Later the skin peeled off and, on
cold days I wore 2 caps for the
rest of the winter.
I came to my home near
Brussels every Friday P.M.,with
the mailman, Ed . Poll ard . He now
is living in the Brussels nursing
home. One Friday night it was
very stormy but I was bound to go
home. One of the school trustees
saw us coming in the cutter pulled
by a tough old horse and came to
the road and asked me to come in
and stay at their place. When he
saw I wanted to get home - he
brought a blanket to cover , me
right over - no frozen ears taht
that trip.
