The following historical sketoh of
the old Bluevale School which is being
replaced this yet►r by a modern brick
rcboolhouee watt propared by Robert
Black and read at the Old Boys'
Reunion of the echool on Satur-
day, Sept. 5th. The teachers mention-
ed are the principals only.
Few of ue to day enjoying the
splendid educational syeteiu we have,
realize the tack of such opportunities
which confronted the pioneers of this
locality. Appreciating theneceeesity
of an education for their children,.
they unitedly began the work of'
building a school and in the year 1858,
the Ifrst schoolhouse was erected, It
is still btandiog, being used as a
dwelling house near the Presbyterian
0hurcb, The next school, the old red
one soon to be vacated, was erected,
about the year 1865 by a Mr, Quay,
who combined the profession of
preaching with mechanics, The en,
during material in the old school in
spite of the condemnation of so many
inspectors in the past, is a guarantee
of the qu..lity of the work that was
put into it.
Thos. Farrow, ex-M.P. for East
Huron and former postmaster of
Brussels, now residing in Oofingwood,
was the first teacher in both these
schools. He was succeeded by Mathew
Hutchison, now ajudge at Sher-
brooke, Que. Then Mathew 'Wilson
was chosen to fill the Pedegogie chair,
which he occupied for one year. John
Thyune was the next to occupy the
bench. Be taught for seven or eight
years being folio we I by Elliott Thynue
for one year. Both of these teachert.
are long since deceased, Asher Farrow
of Godetich was then selected for the
position which he occupied for some
two years. W. G. Duff who died a
short time ago at Crystal City, Man•,
was the next in order to 611 the
vacancy and held the position for
some four year's. Then 0. W. Bruce,
now Inspect3r of Public Schools in
Toronto, who had been one of the
pupils of the school, became teacher
and stuck to his post for two years,
followed by another ex -pupil, W. H.
Stewart, now principal of the Con-
tinuation school, Acton. Ile taught
one year. Then came A. 11. Mus-
grove, M. P, P., who stayed four
years. While in Bluevale, Mr. Mus-
grove got the fundamentals of his
,political education laid and these
early lessons have been a great help to
him since be has gond to Legislative
halls.
Edward Slemmon was the next
teacher, followed by Jas. Thompson
of Henfryn. And now we come down
to the memory of the younger ones
when we say Alex, MacEwen accepted
the position and held it for the term
of sixteen yells, a testimonial by the
ratepayers to hie worth, Malcolm
Aikenbead of Brucefleld followed Mr.
MacEwen, teaching for some two
years, whin, the children having b(.
come more docile, the first female
teacher, Margaret Caldwell, was
appointed to the position of principal.
Geo, 13. Scott of Inglewood taught
for six months, when A. MacEw,itn
was recalled and held the work in
band for two years more being sue.
ceeded by W. I. VanVelsor of Wroxe-
ter for ten months, the balance of the
term being filled by Miss Marshall of
Blyth. A. L. Poeliff, now Principal
of Wingbam Public School, then came
forward with the necessary credent-
itls to teach the young idea how to
shoot and hold sway for two years
followed by Miss Cora M, Messer,
the present teacher.
Such in brief is the history of school
life in Bluevale. No authenticated
records having been kept in the early
days, the facts have been collected
from the memories of some of,tllte old
settlers. It would be a conseevative
estimate to place the number of pupils
at 1000 who have received their early
scholastic training within the walls of
the old school. Many of these have
msde a name for themselves in the
world and we venture to say that few
have evor brought disgrace to the
old school. This speaks volumes for
the teachers who have been such an
underlying factor in ebaracter build=
ing.
And now the plat school must go.
What a flood of memories crowd upon
us as we recall its history of six and
fifty years.
"Fare you well, old school, you have
naught that may feel or see ;
But you seem like a human being, a'
dear old fr:end.to me,"

KING OF BELGIUM
WORKED AS REPORTER
R
Much Beloved by His People. Among
Whom He Moves Freely --Is,
Great Athlete
Standing supremely unique among
the figures who are making history
in the great war, which will mark a
new era for Europe, is Albert, King
of the Belgians, newspaperman, ex-
pert engineer, lover of mankind and
one of the most democratic of rulers,
Nobody ever heard much of Albert
Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad be-
fore that eventful day when he sent
word to his soldiers at Liege to "hold
out" against the Germans massing at
Herbestal. The exhortation breathed
such a dauntless assurance that those
who read smiled grimly and a little
sadly as they reflected that tiny Bel-
gium. would prove a tidbit for the
Teuton war hosts.
But Liege surprised them, and
Albert I{ing of Belgium, which is said
to enjoy more prosperity per capita
than any other European country, was
soon riding at the head of his army
of 200,000 men,
Europe has long wondered at Al-
bert, King of Belgium. His undoubted
business ability and his manner of
dealing with the Socialists so that
the Socialists, cursing most labor con-
ditions, paused to praise their ruler,
has worried aetccrats like the German.
Emperor,
A Great Athlete
There are few things that this ac-
complished king cannot do or hasn't
done. He.fights, rides, swims, shoots,
pati engages in aviation, engineering

was a newspeeertneig rer"s, ion time,
carrying a pollee card, visiting ,police
stations and doing what le known as
"ship news." As a rgporter, It Is
said, he was a "snappy" worker, who
scored many beats and obtained time,
1Y pictures.
King Albert is more than six feet
in. height and has a fair complexion
and golden hair. Ile Is 38 years 014,
KING ALBERT OF BELGIUM
As married to a woman to whom he
is -unusually devoted awl hen three
children, He is the son of the deaf
Duke of Flanders, and it was tilt
mysterious death of his irother, tin
Prince of Baudoin, which made 1ti_
I accession to thethrone possible.
In 1898 he visited America, and
spent much time in New York, Wash
ington and the east, went west anC
stayed for months in St, Paul, Minn
The king, who is a great cyclis
and an extraordinarily brave man
Went to the Congo and pierced the:
fever -ridden country soon after hi,
1 accession to the throne, The thing,
I he saw there caused him to sell a'.1
of the possessions of Belgium in that
region after he had ameliorated the
conditions under which the natives
lived.
Dismantled Wooden Navy
The one desire of the king was to
establish a merchant marine and later
a navy. After he had reviewed the
"navy" of Belgium, in the first days
of his reign he ordered all of the ves•
sels. dismantled. They were wooden
hulks, and every time they appeared
-at foreign ports were the source of
vast amusement.
The queen, his consort, is a. full
fledged physician. She was Elizabeth,
daughter of the. Duke Carl Theodore
of Bavaria, the famous oculist. As
1 the king is constantly seen about the
piers of Antwerp, where he once
gathered. news for a newspaper, con-
versing with stevedores, so We queen
evidences her democratic spirit by
being seen working in the slums, of
Brussels. She has established hos-
pitals in many places in Belgium, and
is head of au association of women
who strive to ameliorate conditions
nndeiz which hard working folk live.
The king is an indefatiguable work-
er. He rises at 6 in the morning and
rarely ever ceases work until 6 in the
afternoon. As a mechanical engineer
he has personally supervised the oper-
ation of the great state railroads, in-
stalling modern lounging cars and
sleeping cars.
Live Like Their People
The simplicity in which the royal
family lives Is remarkable. They
rarely occupy the great palace, pre-
ferring to live in a Villa near by.
They are both lovers of music and
occupy seats in the stalls of the Bel-
gian opera house; rather than the
royal hex, so they nifty be nearer the
orchestra,
The pelvate life of the king is, with-
out a stain, The royal couple have
three children, two sons and a daugh-
ter, the latter being a great favorite
with the people. In a country the
size of Belgium the ruler becomes a
qufokly known personally to his sub-
jects and there is hardly a spot in
Belgium with which the royal couple
Is not familiar, ,
IThat is why Leon Vandarvelte, the
• socialist leader, newly appointed
Minister of State in Belgium said to
1 hie copirades when war broke out:
e't..et us fight now for our king and
i eoltntry as we have always fought for
the laboring man.
"England expects every man will do his duty"
