Miss Elizabeth Tinline was nineteen years old when on a cold February morning in 1867 she arrived at the log annex of Kinghorn school as the new assistant. Saturday [June 19, 1937], in her ninetieth year, she sat with the pupils she had known 70 years ago... and laughed about how she had taught school all Confederation Day unaware that a holiday had been called to celebrate the birth of a new Dominion.
"I was up on my grammatics- knew my Euclid, Lation roots and so on, but I knew very little about current events. So I did not know it was a holiday, that first Dominion Day, until I went home from school, and at my boarding house they told me it was a holiday," she said.
