The Weston Public School
The Weston Public School dates from the seventies, and serves the Weston, Ardgowan, and Cave Valley settlements. It occupies an elevated section of five acres of land in the township of Weston, and has accommodation for 130 pupils. In September, 1903, there were 112 names on the roll, and the average attendance was ninety-four. The teacher's residence, of seven rooms, adjoins the school. Mr. William Edgar Bastings is headmaster.
