The Hebron School
Fern McCurdy, a resident of the Kinsmen House in Riverview has fond memories of Hebron School, Hebron,
Albert County. In this article, she recalls the school, built in 1882 with clapboard and birchbark insulation. The school
building is still there although the last class was held in 1926. "The first school was built on land
owned by Wint Akerley, located across from where the present school now sits. The trustees decided to erect a new school on
land owned by James Smith and the original school was sold to Andrew Alcorn who moved it to
his property. The present school building, constructed in 1882 was erected on a stone foundation with
clapboards on the exterior over birch bark insulation. The interior finished by John Cannon was plaster over lathes.
The interior was one large room with a wood stove in the center. Two large blackboards were painted on the plastered walls
and the teacher's desk was placed on a raised platform at the rear. The room had four windows one on each side.
The handmade school desks came from the first school and each desk accommodated two children. Gertrude Wilbur, a teacher,
organised a social to fund the purchase of new desks. The new desks also held two children and each child had an inkwell and
a ridge at the front to prevent books from sliding. “We bought our own textbooks and used a slate
and slate pencil instead of notebooks. School was discontinued in January and February because of inclement weather.
The teachers boarded in various homes owned by the Alcorns, Sinclairs and Hanlons and were paid by a government grant and
tax collections. The last teacher, Ellis Wilbur received a salary of $419.00 for the trustees and a grant of $120.00 for the
year. Room and board cost $2.00 per week. The final year of operation, pupil registration was down and
it was decided to send the remaining students to school in Alma by horse drawn van. The school, still standing today is on
the Sinclair property in Hebron."
