wâ€"f ARCHERS . The first school built around 1845 was at the corner or 5011508 Road and the 2nd. Concession of Cartwright. It was a log building. Mr. James Emerson, who owned the land was teacher. Later a log building was erected at the north-west corner of the Ira Argue farm. One of the well-known teachers of this school was Australia . MacBrien, a staunch tory who, it is said, would deliver the Mall and Empire ( Tory paper) to his political allies but left the Globe (Liberal paper) at the Post Office for those who supported that party to pick up for themselves. Pupils sometimes numbered 110 in winter, some of the grown men were free to attend school in the winter and they often sat on "', blocks of wood. They came from as far west as the Cartwright ', Boundary and 18 or 20 from Burketon. Burketon school was built later. The 3rd school erected in 1869 was a frame building (see picture) , and served until the new Cartwright Central School was built. Mr. Leslie Argue then purchased this School building for a residence.
