Incident at Carritt School

One former student from Carritt School remembers a day when the School Inspector came for a visit. The students of course were told to be on their best behavior. At recess they were playing Ante-I-Over the school. This student, who was in grade three at the time, threw the ball right into the school window and broke it. The other students immediately scattered and he was left alone, scared and crying. The teacher came out to console him. She was soon joined by the Inspector and much to the frightened boy’s surprise the "feared Inspector" turned out to be kind and sympathetic.
