G. 1.0.D.E. Education was given a very im- portant place in Whitby in the years prior to and following incor- ration as a town in January of 855. A perusal of such papers as the Whitby Freeman and the Whit- by Reporter, both published 103 years ago, reveal little or no refer- ence to Whitby village schools, al- thought here must have been at least three. Whatever references we can find stress the importance of education, and then as now, the cost was an important factor. In the issue of the Whitby Chron- icle of January, 1859, four years after incorporation, reference is made in the minutes of a meeting of the Board of School Trustees to Anderson Street, Henry Street and John Street Public Schools. The late Col. J. E. Farewell, county clerk and solicitor and Crown Attorney for many years, in his brief historical notes on Ontario County, published in 1907, says that the first school was es- tablished in Whitby town limits in 1811 by Miss Cross, and that it was probably the first. The coun- ty school records that among the early teachers of the Common Schools in Whitby were Rev. Dr. Ormiston, Robert Milne, G. Y. Smith, who later became judge of {the Surrogate School, Ross John- | ston, later county registrar; J. H. | Greenwood; Miss Alice Hickey, | John Dundas, Chas. Bannister.

While we can find no reference in an yof the published records we have examined of the exact date of the establishment of a separate school in Whitby, it is believed that there was one here at the turn of the century for the parish dates further back. than that. The present modern school is the fourth building. It replaced one, now used as a residence, close to the church on Palace Street. We hope, in the near fu- ture, when a complete chapter is given over to churches, to get from Rev. D. V. Hickey whatever records are available of not only of the church of St. John the Evangelist, but also the school so closely associated with it. JTHE HIGH SCHOOL According to records kept by the late Dr. Chas, F. McGillivray, for half a century secretary of the Board of Education, the High School was started in 1846, as the Senior County Grammar School, under the Act of 1839, which pro- vided for the establishment 'of grammar schools in the several county towns of the province. It subsequently became the Whitby High School, then, in 1880, it be- Reynolds, was purchased for the purpose of establishing a ladies' college, now the Ontario Ladies' College as we know it today. One of the prime movers in the pur- chase was Rev. J. E. Sanderson, an active promoter. Associated with him were James Holden Wal- ters Couthard, J. S. M. Wilcox, G. Y. Smith, Richard Hatch, Josh- ua Richardson, William Blow, H. B. Taylor, J. B. Powell and Aaron Ross. - The building, of course, has been greatly enlarged. Rev. Dr. Hare was the first prin- cipal, and it now includes a resi- dence for the principal.
