Phew! 28 teachers and just under 1200 'Scholars' to be educated. Although the majority of the educators are from the mainand we are beginning to see the emergence of home-grown teachers and a huge explosion in the number of 'Pupil Teachers', although the presence of 32 year-old Murdo Martin performing that role in 'North Bayhead' appears to poor ice-cold water on my previous conjecture?

There is still plenty to occupy me (or anyone else who fancies doing some research?!) regarding schooling on Harris 1841-1901 but the past two days labours have hopefully made things a little clearer than my initial piece of the 16^th of February had left them!
