Ontario’s one-room schools and the communities they served

Author and sociologist Millie Morton will relate stories about Ontario’s one-room schools and the communities they served at the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse, 106 Trinity Street, Toronto on October 29, 2013 at 7 pm.

Morton’s book, “Grace, a teacher’s life, one-room schools, and a century of change in Ontario”, focuses on the first six decades of the 20th century when there were almost 6,000 rural one-room schools in the province.

Millie Morton grew up on a farm near Stirling, Ontario, and attended a one-room school. A graduate of the University of Guelph, she earned a Ph.D. at Cornell University. As a sociologist, she worked in many countries around the world.

Lecture tickets are $12. Information and reservations: amcarty@enochturnerschoolhouse.ca or 416-392-6997.

The lecture is presented by the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse Foundation, a registered charity.
