MVAPPO/MOS, Wo4aeS00* NOY go, The following letter was received by the invitations' committee fOr Morris Centennial, Mr. 'Clarkson started his teaching career' in Morris Township, He will not be able to attend but has fond mem- ories of people in the district. May 8th, 3.906 Mrs. C. J. Campbell, R.R. No. 2, Bluevale, Ont, Dear Mrs. Campbell: I appreciate very much your kindness in sending me an invita- tion to the Morris Centennial, I'm afraid that the burden of years 62) will prevent me from joining the festivities. If there Were 0. plane to Brussels and neighboring places, I should trito, make it, but driving a& auto M a tough join for me now.. However, all my good wishes gp with you. Ever since receiving the notice I have been going over in memory some of the events that stick from that day in January 1893 when first staggered through' the drifts from Joe Golly's house, -to find a temperature close to zero in the shabby schoolrooM, the stove near- ly out and the sap hissing in the green wood stick in the stove. That was the first time I was ever in a country' schoolhouse and my youth- ful spirits were at low 'ebb. How- ever, when the Shy bOys and girls came in a little later, we got the fire going and the twenty or more scholars took their turns beside the stove to thaw out. My secretary was Robert War- , wick, a genial scholar, but so re- tiring that we would never dream that he was a very intelligent reader of general history, I owe a great deal to him for Stimulating inc to read many books on ancient. history which T was able to''' get every Saturday from the Mech- anics' Institute in Wingham. Mrs. Warwick was also a charming wo- man who wrote excellent English and some poetry. She was also a good botanist and helped me to gather some rare flowers—one that Mr. Morton sent away, some I have never seen since, One of • my trus- tees could neither read nor write, and he made the only criticism I ever heard. I would say on looking back, that the pupils were a good type, a normal cross section of boys and girls of Ontario, Some of them were older than I, and two my own age, Leila Isbister and Jim War- wick. Shortly after we settled down I bought a football and we played on the ice, with the goal under the bridge." Just before the ice went out, George Findlater broke through to the waist! Henry Per- due took private lessons after school and managed to get the' third class Certificate which ad- mitted him to a dental college in the "States". Unfortunately he, died shortly after he graduated. My salary was $390, one of the best in the township, for I had a first Blass certificate. At the end of the year they gave me $400, and I left for the normal School at the end of the half term. In the spring of '94 I had four- teen children to look after, to teach them to read, etc, I think I never. enjoyed anything more in intro- ducing . the '"phonic" method, al- though some of the parents thought it was all nonsense. One old Irish- man who could neither read nor write told me that his grandson couldn't spell "cat", neither could he. The old fellow had a poor opin- ion of me in *other, ways. One day he said to me, "There are three qualifications of a gentleman. He must be a-Tory, an Orangeman and an Anglican, and you have not one of thorn!" I suppose there are a few of the teachers living who, preceded me, Mr. ,McCracken and Frank Wood I think are both gone, and "Bill" Aberhart tatter 'roe) who Was ae High School with Me tot), the most eminent of all the teachers at N'ir.! 7. Perhaps it is a good thing that I shall not be present with you all, for if yen let one reminisee, might never stop, As I look baelt, I know that the 'days 'in No, 7 Were forniatiVe ill my life. After the hernial I became prina l dipal in a Village aehOel and then went into medicine. Almost from 'the beginning I began id teach in the university arid continued until I retired, Wishing you ail siteteMS, Sincerely yonts, 141, Artield Clarkson UNABLE TO ATTEND MORRIS CENTENNIAL FORMER TEACHER • •
