Artist's Description
One-room schoolhouses once dotted the entire province and were both the community and educational hub of the province. Parallel to the government allotment of land for the railways was an equally valued allotment of land for schoolhouses. Mass urbanization and institutionalization of the educational system has since all but desimated these landmarks. Recently efforts have been made to at least preserve the land on which these pillars of the community was once built. This is one of but many fading icons of Canadian Prairie Heritage. This site is the Burton School District 2744, east of Vanguard, Saskatchewan, Canada. The School opened in 1916 and then closed in 1947 but during its brief history was education host to many senior residents of the Vanguard district, having received their primary and secondary education in this building! A few even went on to get their teaching credentials and return to teach in the very school they themselves received their school education.
