STANLEY,,
History of rection 1860-11,60
The following history was pre.
Pared by Mrs. Maynard Corrie,
and Mrs, Fred McEwen.
The population of Stanley Twp.
increased rapidly as settlers
came to this land which is bound-
ed on the west by Lake Huron
and is separated from Tucker -
smith by the London Road..A. fair
portion of good land was in this
area which is watered by the Bay-
field River,
In 1844 there were 737 inhabi-
tants and in 1841, 1,197 acres
were under cultivation; in 1.850
the population had increased to
1.4129 and 4,220 acres were under
cultivation, 10,000 bushels of
wheat, 0,000 bushels of oats 12,-
400 hushels of potatoes, 39,000
pounds of maple sugar, 3,800
pou11de of wool and 8,400 pounds
of butter were predneed from the
, rap of 1840, indicating the in-
dustry and progress of the farm-
rs in this section.
Only two Common Schools are
1i ted in Smith's Canada Book in
Stanley for the year 1847. Total
annual salary of teachers £63;
ulgrortirnlment from Legislative
School Grant £7 150 7(1.
Terrine the year 1800, or a short
time previous, School Section No,
:1 Stanley was formed. it consist-
ed of approximately 4,000 acres
with an assessment of $171,750.-
10, Prier to this it is understood
that there was a small Ing 8(41001
11e100 located at the t'orller of
the Goshen Line and the Bayfield
Road, or Front Road. With the
formation of the Section however,
itwas decided to erect a one -room
sc1102(1 nn a quarter sere of land
purchased from Angtlstine fiayter,
on the north side of the Front
Roar/, Little is known of the very
flret years of the «chord, as these
reconb, have been lost, but it is
known that 00 year's ago there
were 40 pupils attending the clas-
ses here, Attendance fluctuated
greatly, as the students were
needed to assist on the farms in
the spring and fail, and only at-
tended regularly during the cold
winter !lays.
The original school yard was
enlarged in 1880 when an addi-
tional 5,100 square feet of prop-
erty was purchased from TlenrY
Peek on March 0. Tho sale was
completer/ and registered when
it was rikcovered that the trustees
hod bnnght a long narrow strip
of hand, instead of a piece pro-
portioned l.0 use 1(e a play -yard.
On the same date, March 0, 1889
they re -sold the original 8,1011
Square feet to Mr. Peal( and
bt>1124111 another section of 0,060
square feet. (ruin hint on the west
side of the 5nho01.
The first furnishings of early
s010015 were of necessity
Wooden benches and sinnll indi-
vidual slates were all the equip-
ment for teaching the "three Ws".
1n 1897 the trusters of S.S. 3, in-
vested in new -type seats for the
pupils. These dost $85,50, Two
years later a 1te12 flooring was
laid in the room, The woodshed,
its 110ac'5sary for dieelp1111•ing pu.,
pits, as for the storage of fuel,
was originally on the front of
the building. In '2914 this wood-
shed was moved to the back and
ryas In use there until 1054.
Good. drinking water for the
students was 4tss11r0t1 ht 1102i
when a well was drilled at the
rear of the school by James
Spackman, The old pump with
the tin cup Banging from a rope
near the handle, is remembered
by many, as is the large box stove
which from the first provided
great heat to the small students'
bodies, but left the floors near
freezing in the cold weather, in
1907 someone eta1118 up with the
bright idea of enclosing ilio old
stove with a galvanized iron co-
ver, which ivES guaranteed to take
rho cold air from the floor and
circulate it through the stove.
One might say it was always clues-
tionahlo whether this accomplish•
ed its purpose:
in 1917 the old familiar red
"slob brick." school had its coun-
tenance changed will/ n gergeolts
nely plaster and a porch \\'us built
in front. Three years later the
furnishings were increased to the
delight of etudents and teacher
,1111((1 1011011 a 11111811 organ 1088
purchase(/ by the trustees, The
annual Chrietnnts ('0111ert that
year is recalled with pleasure by
many former pupils when the
young voices were supported by
the notes from this instrument,
A much-needed map -case waft
bought in 1921 for the sum of
$24.00,
Through the years the number
of pupils attending S,S. 3 has
varied as families grew up and
finished their schooling, Some-
times the number of children was
reduced to a fraction of the orig-
inal, Ili 1911 there were 14 at-
tending; in 1914, 21; in :1920, 1.5;
lu 1933, 13; to quote from some
of the old attendance records, 35
pupils are expected to register
for the fall term this year.
When the small slates were re.
placed by wooden black -boards on
the walls of the room, is not
known. We do know that these
black -boards had to have constant
attention in the form of new coats
of black paint, and. in 1931 those
at the front were removed and re-
placed with modern black slate
boards, but the wooden ones were
left on the side \va11s, Three years
later the whole interior of the
building was decorated and the
Yard was enclosed by a fence.
Front 1900 to 1935 the following
served as .Secretary -Treasurers,
William Rathwell; Lancelot
Clarke; J. W, Reid; R. G. Reid;
Thomas Brownett; G. E. John-
ston; Emerson Ileard, The trust-
ees in 1935 were E, Pollock, Em-
erson Heard and Harold Penhale,
At this time there was an oval
flower -bed maintained at the
front of the school -yard, which
during the spring and summer
was resplendent with bright red
geraniums. However, one year

known that in the 1880.5, ':113'.

Once again in '19119 a new

ter was chosen as trustee in place
of l'interson Heard who resigned
as Secretary Treasurer. His posi-
tion wns taken over by 131r. Percy
Johnston. A new teacher's desk
was authorized by the new board
of trustees at this meeting and
the fortunate teacher received
this necessary piece of furniture
in time for the June examinations
the following spring.
The old organ, which had pro-
vided so mu212 pleasure during
the years, finally was retired in
1940 when a wonderful "buy" was
made by the board of trustees in
the form of a used piano costing
$70,00, The n11151c teacher, Me, S.
Ronnie duly approved this purch-
ase,
Five years later, major changes
were made in the old school build;
ing. The cement covered walls
wero completely covered again
with bright red brick by Kalb-
fleisch Bros., Zurich, at a cost of
$100,00, James McGee, this year,
became the new Secretary -Treas-
urer, a position he still fills). Irl
1943, Mr. Clifford Talbot designed
and built a belfry which was plac-
ed on the roof to hold a hell, do-
nated by Robert Greer. This bell
had been used many* years as a
"dinner bell" on his faro). It can
still be heard for a mile or more,
calling the students to their stu-
dies, Mr. Harry Nesbitt was the
teacher when this addition was
made.
There were only nine pupils at-
tending S.S. 3 in 1944, but their

without depending on the availability of high cost farm.
