EMPIRE SCHOOL OPENS TO-DAY

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 4 January 1921]

Two classes will move into the new building today, these being the French class and the primary, which was formerly in the Crowland street school.  Four more classes will occupy the building as soon as promotion and readjustment takes place. This will make a total of six classes, and will leave room for more to come later. The carpenters work was expected to be finished last night, and only the cleaning up would then be left to be done.

It is noticeable fact that exactly twenty years ago this week work the Central School was opened with due honors, an account of which appears in our Twenty Years Ago column.

*The new Central School was opened with the necessary honors on the first of the year. -6 January 1921
