AUGUSTINE COVE SCHOOL

a i.

‘9, .1 The first teacher of which we have found record was H. B. Wad- , man, who was teaching in Augustine Cove in 1849. i

J The following report was given by John Arbuckle, Visitor of Dis- , trigt schools: ‘1

.Number on register 23. Present at examination 14. In reference to Ehls school, I quote the observation recorded as a result of the exam— lng‘tlon 1n July as I found it on my visit, in the actual condition thus des— frlb‘fid, “I could not form an accurate judgment respecting this school as here were so few present, when it might be supposed the school would

be £111]. I am inclined to think, however, that the teacher is not probably ‘ 791‘}; energetic.

_ _, The failure of this school ought to be attributed in part, at least, ‘0 the lrre{gular attendance of the scholars, which, as the teacher report- vlri Veraglng the. school, amounted to only four days out of seven for the 10 :1 year. However well-qualified and faithful the teacher might be, 0 35 001_can be profitable where such is the case. It is therefore difficult ‘ a"polt‘tlon the fault of failure; that a part attaches to the teacher is 5. le — and that a portion of it attaches to the parents who suffer nconstant attendance is certain.”

grhe same H. B. Wadman was teacher until 1860.
