School had re-opened that week With Mr. :MccitiskeY (who had spent the surnmpr 14 England) as Principal, and Miss M. Porterfield (later Mrs. japes Ferguson) assistant, "The Lesson In trustees are putting nIe9wler:CenatsP in the Junior piy),-, sion of the Public School, " records the Advertiser, The old desks in what had been thp original brick school were moved upstairs to the second. StOrey (added in 1890,. Lucy has been told that though they had straight seats to accommodate two, at times it was necessary for thrpe small pupils to share the seat. Thus a homely lesson in tolerance was taught and the pupils learned to concentrate as they shared the same desk at studies, The desks installed in 1895 the lower room featured two seats lifting separately, They were nice and new-look- ing and still shiny when Lucy commenced school at Easter in 1910. (Edward. Elliott was Principal and Mrs. James rpr.. gum, Assistant). "Separate" School In 1928 There were no so-called "frills" in those days; These seats served until it was thought advisable to seat pupils separately, In December 1928, the Trustee Board purchased new individual desks which were installed during the Christmas vacation. Excerpt from the column "Breezy Brieflets": "Miss Maggie McMurray, of Clinton, entertained a num- ber of friends from Seaforth, Clinton and Bayfield at Hia- watha cottage on Monday evening when a most enjoyable time was spent; the cottages were vacated on Wednesday and the occupants pronounce themselves greatly delighted with their visit here." Six Weeks School Vacation (At that time T. J. Marks had six cottages on the south bank of the river, and W. R. Jowett three, north of Jowett's Grove, for rent. The latter was also a popular tenting ground. Other visitors were accommodated at the hotels or in private quarters in the village.) "School opened on Monday morning, and the time-regu- lator of the village is in motion again." (Lucy's spouse tells her that when he was "a little shaver" at SS No. 1. Stanley (Baird's) the summer vacation was only six weeks: He thinks it was extended to two months in 1909 or 1910.) No Hotrodders Then "Of course we expect smart people to make enraged personal attacks on us when we show up their misdeeds, but it will never hinder us from doing our duty, especially when backed up by nineteen-twentieths of the ratepayers of the village." 'they wonders what had been going on in the village and what verbal attack had been made on the Editor in 1895? ) There were no cars for teenagers to screech their tires and brakes going around corners on two wheels, as very often disturbs the peace of mind of residents today, to say nothing of endangering the lives of small children. Only Hot Hooves And yet on the other hand, it is possible that some young blades raced with horses and buggy, either with their own outfits or ones borrowed from Papa, down Main and other streets, without regard to the safety of pedestrians, including children. • There was a good stretch of road from Pollock's Tavern "The Royal Exchange" (now Bannister's Apartments) right • down through Clan Gregor Square to the Queen's Hotel (on site of The New Ritz Hotel) which at times tempted driv- ers to test the speed of their horses against each other. In the early days, for convenience, Main Street road had been built right through Clan Gregor Square, branching off in the middle to Louisa Street, en route to the bridge. Case Of The Drowned Goose It was not changed until 1913 when George Lindsay was Reeve. He had the centre road torn out and built around either side as per original plan. Had some youths been raiding the flocks of geese which frequented the river and were part of village life (Colina Street was dubbed Goose Alley). One hears whispers from the past, of -a fat goose being knocked under water by an oar. Or if they were disturbed at night there could have been wild honkings. It isn't likely that the pre-teenagers would have been out without their parents to upset entertainment such as a concert by the Bayfield Brass Band under the direction of R. McLeod in 1895. Before The Milkman 'Yet in this year 1964 several in this age bracket, out from under their parents' watchful eyes, created disturbances at the movies at Pioneer Park which marred the pleasure of those who enjoy them and appreciate the great effort of a few, freely contributed for the pleasure of children and adults alike. Again in those days of the "Gay Nineties", it could have been sorhe persons chasing the cows which kept the streets cropped. There were no dairies here then. Most villagers kept a cow or two. One sought a source of supply and carried one's pail for the required amount to be purchased, if one had no cow or while she was dry. irritants Usually Selfish On one occasion, Lucy recalls hearing, incensed villagers refused to sell milk to one cottager who dogged the cows down the bank if they happened to browse in the vicinity of her abode. There were dozens of ways in which some thoughtless people of all ages are able to annoy. Very often they are selfish persons. "The latest things in summer resort amusements are bath- ing parties; one is expected over from Clinton on Monday next to take advantage of our unexcelled bathing grounds." (Note that there is no mention of Labor Day, the first Monday in September. In Canada Labor Day dates back to 1894, so smaller places had not, perhaps, begun to celebrate the day in 1895.) Routine Follows Labor Day Agitation for the celebration of this day was begun by the Knights of Labor who in 1882 held the first parade in the city of New York on that day. Oregon passed the first law recognizing the day in 1887, followed by other states. On June 2$, 1894, Congress paSsed a bill making it a legal holiday throughout the union. Canada followed suit. Bayfield does not resume RS normal quiet atmosphere Until after Labor Day, and as in 1895 routine returns with the opening of school. 1964 breaks Fair Tradition "Mark it down the date of, the Stanley Township Agri- Cultural Society iFall ShoW has been fixed for Thursday and kriday, October 10th and 11th." (For some time Bayfield Fall Fair has been held the last Wednesday and Thursday in September, tut in 1964, owing to Labor Day following on September 7, the Directors have, been obliged to set Thursday, Septentber 30 and I`riday, October 1, as the dates to avoid overlapping with Fairs in nearby towns.
