First Class List - Fort George Herald - October 1, 1910
After three weeks, Miss L. Brady reported eighteen attending pupils to the education committee. The committee being A. K. Bourchier acting as chairman and A. G. Hamilton as the secretary. It was decided to advertise in the Vancouver papers for a properly certified teacher to work at a monthly salary of $90. The new school house was expected to be completed this fall. Letter Written to Rev. F. E. Runnells
In September the first school was opened and after a week under one teacher and a month under another, both unqualified, Mrs. A. B. Campbell took charge. She had 24 pupils, nine of whom were white, and the rest half breeds. In a letter written to Rev. F. E. Runnells she thus described her experience: Prince George's School Trustees 1915 - 1945 Wilson, P.E. - 7 yrs - 1915-1921

1925 - Housewife History of Longworth School Situated on the northern line of the Canadian National Railway, about 60 miles east of Prince George, is the little town of Longworth. Once a booming, bustling lumber town, it is now only the ghost of its former self, with many unoccupied buildings, which have sunk to a sad state of disrepair. In 1920 the Longworth Lumber company, owned and operated by Mr. W. Jaeck, employed a large number of men in the woods and in the lumber mill. Business was very prosperous, and the married men, many of whom had come from the prairies, sent for their families. With the growing population the necessity for a school became imminent. Accordingly, in 1920 the Longworth rural school was built by the Longworth Lumber Company, on a site donated by that company, and was known as the "mill school". It was a frame building 38 feet by 16 feet, boarded inside and out with plain boards, and unfinished. It was furnished and equipped by the Department of Education. The first teacher was Miss Doris Webb. During the first eight years of its existence this school was financed by box socials, dances, and grants. In 1924 the increased attendance necessitated the building of an addition to the school, and another eight feet were added to the east end of the room, making it 46 feet in length by 16 feet in width. In 1928 the school was finished and the inside walls papered with felt paper. The school was by this time maintained by taxation. In the year 1929 the library was obtained, through an agreement between the Dept. of Education and the School Board, each party paying half the sum required for the books. The grounds, which consisted of an open area, have been cleared by volunteer labor, and by some of the enterprising boys who have attended the school. The school building has been used for church services, and before the
building of the community hall, for dances. The school has, each year,
produced a Christmas concert, and raised money with which to buy Christmas
presents for the children of the community. Prince George Public School 1926 - Promotions Division 2 - Enid M. McKee, Teacher
