Glasgow Women's Institute Book 4 cheap, pine being supplied at 45 cents and maple at 65 cents a cord. In 1898, 6 1/4 cords of pine brought $5.25 and 6 cords of maple $6.25 and for piling this into the shed, the sum of 35 cents was paid. The toilets were cleaned for 25 or 30 cents. Lighting the fires cost $4 or $5 a year. In 1884 60 cents was paid out for scrubbing the floor. One box of crayons usually lasted a year and cost from 15 to 25 cents. Benches were made, a new floor laid, the playground cleaned, stumps and roots removed and many other improvements were made. The building was later clapâ€"boarded by Daniel Young Sr. and in 1895 was painted by Nelson Garvie of Burnstown. Across from the school house stood Lundy's store. Mrs. Lundy was always ready to minister to the needs of the children by binding up a finger or a bruised toe. She was a real "friend in need”. In school expenses, items like the following appear: Lundy, for broom, 25 cents; for paper, pens and ink, 11 1/2 cents: pail and broom, 45 cents. Teachers‘ salaries ranged from $200 in 1876 to $350 in 1886. Number on roll in 1893 was 52; in 1896, 63: in 1899, 60. The treasury appeared rather empty at the close of each year. Auditors‘ reports give balances on hand as $12.13. $11.83 and other small sums, and money was borrowed to defray expenses. Government grants amounted to $33.55. $29.40 etc. The school year ended in December: teachers were hired then, which was more convenient in the business of the school. A belfry and bell were erected on top of the school house in 1898, when Miss Mary Anderson was teacher. This bell was bought with proceeds of a concert. In 1906 a new brick school was built on the 8th line at Glasgow with Miss Violet E. Mackie as first teacher. The old school building was used afterwards as a Methodist church, then sold to Daniel Young Jr., turned into a horse stable and hen house and still stands, close to highway 17. Through the years many of the young folk receiving their first education in Glasgow's "little red schoolhouse” have brought honor to the community in the winning of scholarships and outstanding achievement along many lines. Among these one well known figure stands out, in the person of Frank Ryan, owner and manager of CFRA in Ottawa. Mr. Ryan was born on the farm now owned by Glen Bandy. Mail Service The first Post office in this school section was in Lundy's tore and was called Harvey Post Office. "Paddy" Doolan brought the nail from Arnprior three times a week, going by White Lake, Burns town, Harvey and Stewartville. He had a span of horses which made the trip summer and winter. Later the Post Office was moved to Andrew Young‘s residence and then down to Glasgow, after the building of the railroad, and the name changed to Glasgow Station. Mrs. J B Hutson was postmistress for quite a number of years, then it was moved to Robert Cherry‘s house. 3of66
