The second oldest school in King- ston, now known as Louise school, is || being greatly changed to accommo- date the Commercial Department of ili the Kingston Collegiate Institute. ll This school was built about 1850, Hl | and was then known as "Johnson if | street school." . fi] From the time of its erection, and indeed until recent years there {cre gl only four rooms, which were heated by large stoves burning wood, and it was lighted by coal-oll lamps. It was very seldom though that it was necessary to light the rooms at all. The caretaker was the only person in the school after dark. It was deem- od 'unnecessary to clean or mop the floors once a day. They were mop- ped about twice a year, during the summer and Christmas holidays, The subjects then taught were reading, writing and arithmetic, alge- bra, English language and Canadian History. The oldest teacher at pre- sent living in the city is Miss Isa- bella MacIntyre, who was principal of the school when Princess Louise paid a visit to it. Miss MacIntyre clearly remembers the visit as being between the years of 1879 and 1881.

How- ever, arrangements were suddenly made for the important couple to visit this school and Miss MacIntyre, with the assistance of Mr. Phippen, secretary of the school board at the time, and Mr. BE. J. B, Pense, who | was then, the chairman, found it necessary to get up to the school at six o'clock in the morning and en- deavor to make the rooms look pre- sentable. The blinds, which were in a terrible condition were torn to pieces and tacked up to the top of the windows to hide the bare ap- pearance. "The school was renamed in honor of the Princess, and has ever since been known as "Louise School." Miss MacIntyre succeeded Miss Bimpson, who had succeeded Miss E. G. Ross. Other teachers of the old school are, Miss - McDowell who taught at the same time as did Miss I. MacIntyre, Mr. Bonny, Mr. Scott and Mr. Willlam Tandy, Mr. Gor- don, father of Col. Gordon, of Lon- don, Eng., Miss Hattie Chown, who succeeded Miss MacIntyre as princi- pal, and Miss Holmes, now Mrs. J. R. "| Renton, Winnipeg. Miss Chown is at present. teaching in the Kingston Collegiate Institute. The last princi- pal was Miss Charlotte Loviek, who has been teaching there for a number of years, and mow has been trans. fetred to Sydenham school, * Up until 1890, there were but four rooms, when an additional wing was built 'on, this adding one class room and store rooms. In 1912 these store rooms were changed into a furnace room and lavatories, It whs but a few years ago that electric lights were installed. Now the build- ing is having extensive changes and improvements and will house the Commercial Department of the Col- legiate henceforth. eect BOB MORTON CIROUS.
