Notes |
- Attended the 1960 Houliston Centenary in Balclutha. [Source 12]
Six miles was too far for Janet Bethia to walk to school, so she was sent to live with her grandparents in Mosgiel for schooling for 2 years. At the end of that time, when she was seven, there was the move to Lowburn, and she returned home. She travelled by train to Lawrence with two Mosgiel women she knew. A memory of the journey is of the women leaning from the carriage window, catching in cups and drinking water which streamed down the inside of the Mt Stuart tunnel. At Lawrence, the shy little girl was given into the coach driver’s care and remembers standing in the roadway, pointing out her trunk, away on top of the coach. The move to Lowburn is also remembered, household goods as well as a crate of hens being transported by wagon.
It was back to Alexandra and school there in 1899 and Janet Bethia was the recipient of the school’s first dux medal. Runner-up was William Appleton (later Sir William, a businessman in Wellington and mayor for a time). The next two years’ education were at Mosgiel District High School. This was followed by two years’ pupil teaching at Alexandra and two years at Sawyers Bay before two years at Dunedin Teachers’ Training College, during which time she passed 3 university units which gave her a B certificate in teaching. Her ambition had always been to be an infantroom teacher. She spent two years as sole teacher at Matau school, at the lower end of Inch Clutha, then moved to Alexandra to a position as infantroom mistress. She left for health reasons, had 18 months at Hampden school, then taught at Tokomairiro District High School for two years. [Source 289] [6, 7]
