Board Schools Established, 1870. Reading, Writing and Sums were once all that was taught! Now folks say that children learn more than they ought! Showing a teacher giving a piano lesson to two scruffy urchins, with a bust of Minerva, a telescope and a glass retort in the background, together with the words 'Ici on parle francais' on the wall.
