Index of Schools
Hundreds of one-room schoolhouses are scattered around the Ottawa Valley. Carleton County included Fitzroy, Gloucester, Goulbourn, Huntley, March, Marlborough, Nepean, North Gower, Osgoode and Torbolton Townships. Lanark County included Bathurst, Beckwith, Crosby, Dalhousie, Darling, Drummond, Lanark Highlands, Lavant, North Burgess, Montague, North Elmsley, Pakenham, Ramsay, South Burgess, South Elmsley and South Sherbrooke Townships. Russell County included Cambridge, Clarence, Cumberland and Russell Townships. The Common School Act for Upper Canada in 1850 created school sections as the smallest unit for the administration of rural public schools. A School Section (S.S.) was from 3 to 5 miles square (~5 to 8 km) and was administered by a board of three elected trustees. The trustees were responsible for hiring teachers, administering finances and the management of school property and equipment. Schools that were on the boundary between more than one School Section were known as Union School Section (U.S.S.). Separate School Section (S.S.S.) or Roman Catholic School Section (R.C.S.S.) schools were built in all counties.
