A larger school was thought necessary and in 1888 another school was built by John Perkins of Albany. This served the dis- trict till 1916 when the school became overcrowded and an exten- tion was made making it a two room school.

Carleton Point, now the Town of Borden was a part of this school district till 1920 when a two room school was opened there.

Since the building of the railroad spur to Borden homes have been built in the district till in 1953 it became necessary to build a three room school measuring 25 x 90 ft, located near the former school on land purchased from John Haslam.

The head carpenters were Harry Muttart and Nathan Bell with an additional committee of Ralph MacCaull, Hedley Muttart and school trustees, Avalah MacCallum, Harold Muttart, Elmer

Stordy, secretary, Raymond Harvey.

In the basement is a community auditorium and kitchen which have been equipped. and furnished by the Women’s In- stitute.

The former school was bought by the Co-Op Company for a general store and moved to the familiar site where the Chas. Doull & Sons store stood for over half a century. Now it is a produce warehouse owned by Paul LaVoie.

Through the years there have been many faithful trustees and secretaries who attended to the needs of the school. In look— ing over the records the secretary for 1895 was John G. Sheriff, then school teacher who lived in Carleton for some years. The running expenses voted for school at this time was $20. and the teacher’s supplement $25.00 for the year. John Crockett acted as secretary from 1896—1904, W. S. Muttart to 1909, Stephen Mut- tart 1910, J. C. Gillispie 1916, Hermas Myers 1918, Burpee Mac— Micken 1953, Raymond_Harvey to 1959 and Sheldon Nicholson is the efficient secretary at present.

Special mention is made to Burpee MacMicken’s long time faithful service when in the autumn he walked to the homes de- livering the tax assessment.
