Trusting yon are IS s- s- &.• 11- St e r en t- 11 he The School House of ,No. 5, 'Opened on Monday, is the • 4th New School in Hullett • Withinywo Years. • On Monday the children of S. S. No. 5, Hullett, moved from their old school to their beautiful new school on the gravel road a mile and a quarter south of Loadesboro. The occasion was celebrated by a large nunaher of ratepayers who ;met in the new school house and listened to addresses by the Inspector, Dr. Field, " Rev. Mr. Reid, Mr. Jam& Snell and Mr. James Campbell. Oth- ers contributed songs and recitations while a generous and tasty lunch was served by the ladies. • The school is of white brick with • red trimmings over a stone base - merit ; it is beautifully finished in Georgia pine and is provided with the mest -,Jpproved accomodations. The ratepayers are justly proud of their school in the building of which Trustees Snell and Fear deserve par- ticular credit. This makes four new schools for the township within two years, a record hardly likely to be surpassed by any in the Province. It . is over fifty years since the first schoolhouse was erected in No. 5, which .was the a much larger sec- tion than it is now, part of it be- ing now in Summerhill section arid part in Hill's, on the 11)th con. The ground for- this first School was given by Mr. Thomas Fear, of the 8th con., who is the only rate- payer now living in the section who was a ratepayer when the first; school was opened. Me. Fear is now over ninety yeiiis of age and still takes a keen interest in affairs. His son, Mr. Wm. Fear, who is one of the present trustees, has been overseer of the new building and has shown himSelf to be painstaking and thor- oughgoing. The • first teacher in No. 5 was a Mr. Tisdale, who . hoarded- at Mr. Humphrey Snell's and walked to the school.. When this school was at its best the average attendance during the winter months used to number about one hundred and fifteen schol- ars. The mumher now on .the roll is about fifty but the average at- tendance is very Much smaller. Among those who received theie start towards an education • in this school were the members of the Snell family, including Mr. James Snell ; the 1VIcCools, the MeIlveens, the Gorrells, the Voddens and Maks, Among those who attended school there and who are now resident in Clinton are : ,iVirs. Joha Warren, Miss McCool, Mrs. Watt and Miss Jennie Thompson, *r. Joseph Habkirk was the se- cond teacher engaged after the form- ing of. the section and a;umng those who followed later were Mr. J. H, Lowery, now of North Bay, who taught there for Years and who was one of the best teachers, the school ever had, a Mr., Standish, T and Mr. A. F. Johns, now of Toronto. The present teacher in Miss McEwan of Clinton, who has been in charge for three 'years.- - Immediately , preceding her was Miss Jenkins, Leaving Loaded Ginis Lay- ing About Invites Tragedy.
