Grade three children go to school, circa 1890. At the Old Britannia School House, originally built in 1852, as the School Section(S.S.) @#12, Toronto Township, students from the Peel District School Board line up outside and are greeted by their teacher for the day. Once they step inside they will experience the magic of travelling back in time for a day of lessons taught a schoolmistress, or schoomaster, and under the strict rules of the day. The teacher conducted a hygiene test, made one student wear a dunce cap, another hold up logs for the fire, because he was giggling in class, etc. Lunch, is outside on the grounds, with the old rope and wood swing getting plenty of use, as well as the wooden stilts, and old fashioned skipping ropes. Of the 30 kids in this class, from Herb Campbell P.S. in Caledon, I have permission to identify, and use names of seven of them. Pix from behind, above, etc. where the child is not identifiable is o.k. according to the vice principal of the school who I spoke with over the phone.(Mr. Livingston, 1-905-838-3952) Could we just refer to these as "students?" The school mistress is Megan Curtis, 25, originally of Peterborough, now a Toronto resident, who is a recent graduate with her Masters Degree in Educational Theatre from New York University.
