and spelled it uschol”. That set the scholars in an uproar that was 
     
     not quieted down until we were dismissed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I heard that in another school the trustees were visiting, the mas- 
     
     ter asked the scholars, "Who signed the Magna Charta?” The scholars 
     
     were in dread that some of them had done something wrong. O‘ne boy 
     
     spoke up “I did not sign it, Sir.” The master was so ashamed of the 
     
     boy’s ignorance that he told him to take his seat. One of the trustees 
     
    
   
   
    
     said to the master, "Call that boy back I believe he did sign it.” We 
     
     should be grateful for school privileges and make good use of them. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     THE OLD CHURCH 
     
    
   
   
    
     This church building was erected in 1833. It was the first Protestant 
     
     Church edifice erected on Eastern Prince Edward Island from East 
     
     Point to Souris or farther west. When it was replaced by a better one, 
     
     it was used as a schoolhouse .for many years. So that from this picture 
     
     we may see What the pioneer church edifices and schoolhouses looked 
     
     like. The pioneers had few and crude tools with which to work.
