Description Board Schools Established, 1870
Details

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.
