LONG SPEECHES
IN PARLIAMENT
Miss Agnes' MacPhail, while :she is
in attendance at the sessions in Ot-
tawa, each week writes a letter to her
constituents through the weekly prets,
of her riding. We often take time to
read these letters and sometittes ie
are amused. and at other times we
are much impressed with the manner
with which this lone lady na,ember
tells abont the big doings on 'Parlia-
anent HiIJ

"Four hours and twenty-five Minut-

teventy-three Miuutes" in the other,
and underneath "They fight herd en-

Plaxtun's letters prompted one to talc

Rego rding the jackSon property—
it -was everything that Mrs. Plaxtoi
represented—even more so. It was
wonderful plaee to both children am
grown-upS, as the stables and ground
were of the best. However, after:Mr
Jackson and his family left here, ,arie
it .began to be occupied by visriou
tenants, it started to go down. Fin
ally, a couple of families moved ii
tvho quarrelled so badly that they
smashed the windows, and ,had to ap
P1 in court'. In August; of 1888
when the „Flour Mill fell a prey to
flames, this fine old Jackson etrticture
—that was the pride of the buildet
and the Community—went down it
flames. On jaimary 10th, 1884, the
'West End Hotel, owned and operate(
by R Porter, was burned. The Scot
Act came in force the following May

, .At this time, T wish to reserve the
right to put 00 an: old time week
some tithe in the month of August
1935—to commemorate the forrnation
of this School Section No. 11, being
the Diamond Jubilee year. I am ap
pealing to all old-timer, who Wish
to contribute to this .celebration,'1,6
send any donation (large or 'small)
to Mr. Benson Cruickshank, Treasur-
er of the Township or to the Domin-
ion Ba.nk, Here's -hoping that when
committees are formed, at a later
date, that the re union Nvill be i uc-
cess—even though it is a year and a
half hence. Information will be glad-
ly given at any time by the writer.
Now, as the saying is, "to begin
with a story"—On January 13th, 1875,
Mr. T. G. Jackson called a public
meeting, of the ratepayers regarding
the advisability of starting a school.
.4t this meeting Mr. Joseph Flack was
chosen Chairman and Mr. Archibald
Fisher as Secretary. The following
were chosen as the First Trusteep,
namely: Archibald Fisher, for three
year, Mr. Edward Farley for two
years; and Mr. Richard Raekits for
one Year. It was resolved to have the
above Trustees choose .a site for the
erection of a school, and report at a
later meeting—ito be held at the call
of the Trustees. On January 201h, a
specia/ meeting was held to receive
the report cif the Trustees, who re-
commended two vacant lots, where-
on to erect a school'or 'to purchase
what was then known as the Baptist
Chapel, It was moved by A. Fisher,
seconded by Joseph 'Flack, that the
Baptist Chapel be purchased for $800
(payable in eight months) with plat-
form, stoves and stovepipes, along
with side forms running around the
interior of the Chapel. Carried.
James and Jackson:, Founders, Sec-
ured the contract for the castings for
the seats at $60, and Thomas and
CharleS Elliott agre.ed to do She wood
work for $80, extras $4. The Chapel'
WaS vacated by the Baptist congrega-
tion on January 20th, 1875, and Achool
opened on February 15111, 1875. Wm.
Mooney was engaged as Teacher, at
$400 per annum, he 'holding a tb,ird
class certificate.
HERE, is ta,-here we start to school.
I 'did not start till' the, first of . April,'
and what a day! Starting to schaof
is a great exent in everyone's
daY to be remembered. In my case
—I had not 'been long in school. (hav-
ing been taken there by an older
member of the family) when .for some
reason, I suppose not obeying rules,
I was spoken to rather sharply by
this Irishinan Teacher, Wm. Mooney.
He threw fear into me, at once, aed
I beat a hasty exit for home, between
the stove' ,and partition—bawling my
head off, It was time before I could:
be persuaded to return,but eventually
did so and soon became .accustomed
to the rules and regulations, Mr.
Mooney was an eccentric' character.
Thc. older scholars could Mit,11 OV(Ir

well remember one fellawbeing call-

the teacher that he would give him

El any effects of what 'looked like a
is real trimming, Mr. Mooney carried
on until December 23rd, when he signed as the scholars were too snitch
for him. He 'often referred to ;he
girls when they grouped together' as
being "like a parcel of young pigs."
Ott Decendrer 22nd, 1875, the Trus-
tee;, then' engaged Miss Mary McIn-
tosh. 'Fisher (now Mre„Alexander, 1iv-

Mrs. Thalia Massie, who .became
nationally:known after. five Hawaiian
natives criminally attacked her, start-
ed a "new life a few hours after she
was granted a divorce::
this date—for no doubt I deserved it.
Miss Fisher carried on faithfully, with
a large attendance, and after entering
into her second year, at an increase
of Twenty-five Dollars, she asked for
an Assistant The Trustees in-eession
passed the following motion: Moved
by William Hutton, seconded by Ab-
raham Swindlehurst, that Miss Fish-
ed do the. best she can; that they
could not see fit or able to pay more,
or hire an assistant. That they would
be willing pe accept her resignation
at the summer holidays AI it was ac-
cording to law. Carried.
As the two pr'evious teachers liacl
held Third Class Certificates t he
Trustees decided to advertise in the
Globe few a Teasher haying a Second
Class 'Teacher's :Certificate. 'They re-
ceived eleven applications, from which
tney chose Alexander A Walker, at
salary of Four Hmidred and Fifty
Dollars per atmum. I must say rieirt
here, that under Mr. 'We -dicer's 1> tt
hig, I progressedrapidly and have be-
fore me a book (First Prize, from him
in my class, dated Aug. 18th, 1878):
Mr. Walker was a married man and
lived beside the school, where I\Ir.
Thomas Gray now resides. One .day
two of his girls, along with three oth,-
er glide, about their age, were sitting.
up on top of the fence, watching a
game of shinny, when a couple of
young fellows who lived close to the
school (but who were absent that
day) pelted these five girls with very
stale goose -eggs., It took some clean-
ing for those girls -- but what 'Mir.
Walker did to those two fellows was
just too bad! 1 bet they never looked
at geese or eggs without remember-
ing Mr. Walker. How about it, boys?
T. know where you are living, 'and
hope that you will get a copy of thi's
paper, '
In three months' time, Mr. Walk-
e r had enrolled one hundred and six-.
ty-two scholars, and kept increasing
each quarter, with an average attend-
ance of ninety-five. I have seen him
conduct two classes, on the floor at
once, and an older scholar would be
wood to beat—that :building. There
-was one stove in the bedding and 11
had two runs of pipes, ltfany.the tithe

of the winter months playing shinny.'
on the pond, directly behind the
schoolhouse.. Mr, Walker could not
Skate, used to wear shae packs, and.
Many the tithe he would have his feet
knOcked from. under ..hirn. The real
games of shinny Were .played in the
SPrin et between Upper and Lower
Wingham. These games Were held on.
Ulla old Fair Grounds, which as attest
everyone knows is again the Agrioul-
tural Fair Grounds. The grounds are
much larger now thanthey were fifty
five. years ago. Many of the boyLe who
played on the shinny teams are still
alive --while 'others have pissed on.
Another sport that Lower Wing -ham
excelled in, during Mr. Walker's time
was baseball, As in shinny, Upper
Wingham and Lower 'Town were riv-
als. I remember any first game away
from home was, at Teeswater. Un-
ortunately for me, the two wagons
that were engaged to take our team
and others, left befote I was ready
to go. Nothing daunted, set otit
on foot and between walking and.
running, finally arrived in Teeswater.
The game resulted in a victory for
Lower Wirgham with a score 70-4.
Baseball was played differently in
those days. The pitcher had to deliv-
er the -ball below the knee, and pitch-
ed underhand. The team was as fol-
lows: Pitcher, Mr. Walker; Catcher,
F. W. McLean; First base, Harry
Green; Second base, Ed. HaMilton,
Thi1V base, jack Fisher; Short stop,
"Jock" Hamilton ; Fielders, A. Fisher,
Frank :Carruthers and myself, Later
on, we added the late Archibald Sim-
mons, to pith team, as ,Pitcher.Ilo
was the first citrge-ball pitcher known
in these parts. What' a„ real sensation
be wes! 'Ile catcher were no mask
or pad, and any old gloves:answered
the purpose. ManY times 1 have een

W. E. Groves (E,c1.), native of Wing-
- ham and brother of IVfx."5. F. Groves,
, our former Town Clerk, was engaged
- as teacher for the year 1881, at a sal-
ary of $400 per year. Mr. Groves was
a very forceful teacher, and was iet-
torested ha every student. He saw to -
it that everyone got down to study-
ing for promotion. Under hts direc-
tion, along with a number of others,
, II passed my' High School ex.amina-
Ition, which took place M the school.
'There -was no High School in Wing -
ham, the nearest, I believe, was in
Clinton. Mr. Groves was Strong on
penmanship. I considered I was Al
in flourishing, but as the year roll
on I am losing the gift. Mr. Groves
was a lover of clean sport and was
an ardent lacrosse player. I remem-
ber I had a hard time saving enough
to buy my first lacrosse stick—which '
cost‘ around three °liars and a -half.
Wealso had a cricket team and be-
came as we thought, quite proficient,
at the game. •We were invited to play
against Upper Wingham, on the pre-
sent Public School Grounds, and we
got Well trimmed! The Upper Wing -
ham team enlisted the services of the
regular town cricket team,
Mr, Groves, having to attend Nor -
.mal, engaged (with the consent of the -
Trustees) M, . Joseph Gibson, for 3
months. These were the most roll-
icking of all iv school days. We I
went early and generally ha,d half an
hour at recess, and from an hour and
a half to two hours at noon hour. The
shinny games that were played dur-
ing Mr. Gibson's time were "bang
full" of energy, and the playground
looked as though it had been ,;avell-
ploughed when we were through play-
ing this lively game. One day Mr..
Gibson punished a certain scholar for
some offence. The next day, the 'err-
ing one's family and friends cattle to
the school with the intention of
squaring accounts with the Teacher.
It was of short duration, as Joseph
Gibson was a husky fellow, and from
my vantage -point at the door I saw
the whole outfit beating a hasty re-
treat with Mr. Gibson right at their
heels. Before closing the school. for
Christinas holidays, he put on an en-
tertainment for the benefit of 'the
community as -well as the scholars_
Many were the pleasing remarks made.
