Schools And Teachers In The Province Of Ontario. Elementary Public And Separate Schools November 1947

A living map of mid-century classrooms and names. A single moment captured here.Compiled in November 1947, Schools and Teachers in the Province of Ontario - Elementary Public and Separate Schools is a meticulously compiled elementary school directory documenting public and separate schools across the province and the teachers recorded in each locality. Far from a narrative history, it is a working ledger: listings, addresses where available, board affiliations and education statistics of the 1940s that together sketch the contours of postwar Canadian schools. For students of Ontario school history, for genealogists seeking school connections and for anyone curious about everyday civic life after the Second World War, the book translates dry figures into human geography. Researchers in education history will value its directness when cross-referencing Canadian education records or following the evolution of education policy in Canada; local enthusiasts will find immediate pleasure in tracing 1947 Ontario schools on a modern map.As a historical school reference, it reveals district organisation, denominational provision and the teacher networks that sustained elementary education in the postwar period. The tone is austere but telling: small administrative details accumulate into a lively portrait of communities and their schools. Casual readers, local historians, researchers and family historians will find it indispensable as a source of teacher listings in Ontario and genealogy school records, while classic-literature collectors and archival-minded readers will prize the volume as a period artefact and research companion. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.Researchers, librarians and civic historians will use it as a primary lookup when reconstructing school boards, mapping teacher careers or corroborating municipal returns; family historians may find the single clue that reconnects a life to place. Practical and atmospheric in equal measure, it sits between a historical school reference and a social chronicle of postwar Canadian schools - an essential companion for anyone exploring Ontario school history or consulting Canadian education records.
