Book features Kootenay teachers By CasNews Staff A new book chronicling the experiences of pioneer one room school teachers in B.C. features two women who began their careers in Castle ar. Floating Schools and Fro zen Inkwells by Joan Adams and Becky Thomas of Kel owna highlights the experi ences of pioneer Kootenay school teacher Clara Barkley Graham whose first teaching position was at Castlegar in 1908. Barkley spent several years at varjous one-room schools in the Kootenays and after a short teaching stint in the Fraser Valley returned to Cranbrook where she mar- ried CPR train engineer Per cy Graham, says a press release describing the book. Also featured in the book is Eileen McKenzie who began her teaching career in Castle. gar in 1917 and continued to teach in the Kootenays for 41 years, the release says. Adams and Thomas, both former teachers, spent three years travelling throughout the province interviewing former one-room teachers and their pupils. Much of their research the Kootenays and Boundary region where they collected memories and information about schools in or near Castlegar, Crescent Valley Brilliant, New Denver, Nel son, Trail, Ymir and Grand Forks, among others, the re lease says. One chapter of the book is devoted to the Doukhobor schools of the West Kootenay and Boundary country. The chapter gives a historical perspective on the attitudes of the Doukhobors towards early B.C. school legislation and describes the conflicts which led to the protection of the early schools by armed guards in 1948 and 1949. Adams, now retired from teaching, taught in one-room schools for 10 years as a young woman. “Although it was difficult, and often lonely,” she says in the release, “teaching in those days taught you to sur. vive.” Adams and Thomas inter viewed more than 100 former teachers and pupils of one. room schools and most of them recalled their early school days to be the best times of their lives, the re = Thursday, Feb. 6 through to Wednesday, Feb. 12 aa 2 , an 9 | legor News ruary 5, 1986 Supplement to the Casti of Wednesday, Feb: Castlégar News episode .
