    Notes:

    From the advent of Mr. Geo. W. Woodward, an energetic, highminded and well qualified young man, who had enjoyed the advantages of a thorough education at the Toronto Normal School, under the able principalship of Dr. Sangster, dates the prestige of the Elmira School. Under Mr. Woodward's guidance the pupils of the school rose to a prominent place amongst those in the County of Waterloo. In the days of competitive examinations, there seldom appeared a list of successful candidates in which the names of Elmira pupils could not be found at or very near the top. Mr. Woodward was a man of stern discipline, beloved by the diligent and consciencious and feared by the miscreant. His influence was decidedly elevating, his enthusiasm was inspiring and carried with it the best elements of the young mould had been destined his work. He was passionately fond of music, and the whole community reaped the benefit of his decided talent in this respect. Of an exceedingly volatile and nervous temperament, his interest in the school and his pupils became so intense that he found the work preying on his nervous system to an extent which, in the year 1876, after a term of nearly fifteen years during which period he transformed the standing of the school from one of the lowest in the County to one of the highes induced induced him to resign his position and to seek other employment. This he found, as excise officer at Waterloo, position which he has filled very efficiently and which he is today occupying. His pupils, who, as a rule, have done well in their various chosen spheres, many having distinguished themselves far beyond ordinary, look back upon their school days with a sense of gratitude towards the noble efforts of their teacher. Mr. Woodward still enjoys fairly good health. His love of and talent for music is at present finding expression in the leadership of a very efficient amateur orchestra, which does much to enliven the declining days of an honorable and useful career.

    Following Mr. Woodward, in August 1876, came Mr. David Bean, now editor of the Waterloo Chronicle-Telegraph, a worthy successor to a successful master, with similar intellectual tastes and aspirations, and with a record of efficiency and usefulness of which any teacher might be proud.
