10-025: The Coleman Creek School

The Coleman Creek School, situated 3 miles north and 3 miles east of the town of Rolla, opened in September of 1932. The enrollment was 13 pupils in all grades.

Situated as this school was, close to the Alberta boundary, the attendance was partly compromised of Alberta pupils who were glad to avail themselves of the opportunity provided. Owing to the winter weather and the distance to be traveled, during the last few weeks [?] the children had been forced to discontinue attending, consequently the average dropped to 9 pupils per day.
