The Whitehaven News - September 7, 1905

SATTERTHWAITE AND RUSLAND THE NATIONAL SCHOOL.        Anyone paying a visit to the school will at once find a decided improvement in the external appearance, both of the school building and of the Master's residence, all the window spouting &c., having received a good coating of paint. In the interior a still further improvement is visible, the whole having been painted, whitewashed, and thoroughly cleaned throughout, giving it a very comfortable and cheerful appearance.        The grounds and the gardens also present an altered aspect, and show the advantage of selecting  a master interested in horticulture. For some years past the gardens have gradually gone to waste through lack of fences and other causes, and the present improvement is entirely due to Mr. FITZNEWTON, who was only appointed to mastership at Christmas, and who has expended a considerable amount of labour and also incurred some expense in reclaiming it.        To encourage some of the older boys, who have a taste for gardening, Mr. FITZNEWTON has allotted small plots of ground, the appearance of which is most creditable to the youthful amateurs. Much of course,  yet remains to be done, but probably by another season, Mr. FITZNEWTON may be able to bring the gardens into the high state of cultivation they were in on the retirement of Mr. J. B. DOBSON, some ten years ago. ******        Yesterday week Mr. E. A. SALMON, of Ulverston, sold by auction the household goods and effects belonging to Mr. Wm. COWARD, of Rusland, who some time ago, along with two of his sons emigrated to Canada. The whole was speedily disposed of but prices were somewhat low. Mrs. COWARD and family left during the evening for Liverpool, where they will embark to join her husband in Canada. ******
