Excerpt from: 'Schools of Kaladar Townshhip' by Eileen Flieler (The Pioneer Times, Newsletter of the CDHS Spring 2015): 'SS#11–Hornick's School (1889–1900), according to the original minute book was built on Wilson Vance's lot and was erected by James Freeburn and sons. SS#11 was formed when school section #2 was divided. Up until then the students went to Flinton (quite a walk). The divisions formed SS#11–Hornick's School. The desks were made by William McLuckie. Two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) was raised for the construction, fencing and furnishing of this school which measured 18 feet wide, 30 feet long with ceilings of 10 ft. It had 2 windows on each side, clapboard on the outside and the shingles were laid in lime mortar. It had a stone foundation. Trustees were Wm. McLuckie, James Bryden, Wm. J. Freeburn and T. P. Hornick. Miss Betty Hornick was hired as the teacher for 1891 at a salary of $15.00 a month. The school was to be kept open for at least six months of the year. In 1895, because some non-resident students were attending free of charge, a motion was passed by the board that non-resident students should pay a monthly fee of twenty-five cents (25¢) each. It is interesting to note that James H. Freeburn built the woodshed for $21.00 and that Watson Bryden was to be paid five cents (5¢) per day to sweep the floors and light the fires – the wood costing $1.35 a cord. These pay rates were typical of the area at that time. The first inspector to visit the area schools was Frederick Burrows (father of Dr. Burrows in Tweed). Due to a rapid expansion in population, another school was built in 1866 across the road from the first school in Flinton Village (on Holden St.).'
