    Notes:

    George Gouinlock was an educator and brother of John Gouinlock one of Galt`s first and most famous teacher. He along with his brother operated one of the best schools in Edinburgh, Scotland, teaching children from some of the finest families. To counteract his ill health on the advise of his doctors he moved to Canada. In the late 1820`s he and his brother moved to Galt when John became a teacher and farmer. George wrote several text books some of which, particularly the arithmetic book was used in Ontario Schools for many years.

    Notes:

    The men who took the most prominent part in organizing the first library in the village were: Rev. Dr. Bayne, Alexander Burnet, James Cowan, John Gowinlock, William Trotter, H. G. Barlow, James Harris, Andrew Elliott, Francis McElroy, Francis Hogg, Andrew Moscrip and Walter H. Benn. These men have long since passed away, but they all did good work in their day in laying the foundations of a progressive and moral community; to the older generation of Galtonians their names call up a crowd of memories of the days that are no more.

    ____________________

    The old rough-cast school-house at the head of Main Street was erected in 1832. Its first teacher was Mr. James Milroy, who removed to Iowa in 1856, and the second, Mr. William McColl, who taught until Rebellion times. With this school, however, must ever be associated the name of Mr. John Gowinlock, who was its sole teacher for many years. He was an excellent specimen of the old-fashioned dominie, before the days of County Boards and periodical examination!. His teaching was eminently practical. He knew what the birch was for, and he applied it. He frittered away no time on physiology, botany, or philosophical abstractions. He professed to teach the three R's, and he did it, and did it well.

    It is not a little singular, notwithstanding the immense superiority claimed for our schools of today, that many of Mr. Gowinlock's scholars compare in point of education very favourably with those turned out under our much-vaunted modern system? May the secret of this not lie in the fact, that whilst the attention of scholars in those days was strictly centered upon the essential requisites of education, their studies are now so numerous and diffuse, as to prevent that mastery of each subject, without which instruction is of little practical use, and readily passes from the memory?

    ________________

    John Gouinlock was born in Greenhill, Scotland. He was an educator along with his brother George ran one of the leading schools in Edinburgh. He came to Canada in the late 1820`s and was Galt`s teacher as early as 1827. He had a log home on Blair Road about two miles from Galt. In 1832 a roughcast schoolhouse was built at the intersection of Wellington and Main streets. He left a lasting impression on his students and applied a strict discipline in the school freely using the strap. He was one of the first members of the Galt Subscription and Circulating Library in 1836. He resigned from teaching at the school in 1845 and died in Brantford.
