SUPPLIED TITLE OF TAPE(S): Verna Wilson : B.C.'s one room schools and their teachers RECORDED: Prince George (B.C.), 1981-09-29? SUMMARY: Verna Wilson was born in Saskatchewan in 1914. She received her teacher training in Saskatoon. She taught at Stone Creek (20 miles south of Prince George), 1952-1953; and Cranbrook Mills (west of Prince George), 1953-1956. As a teacher at Stone Creek, she faced difficulties because of unrest in a "backward" community with isolated living conditions. At the Cranbrook Mills school, she taught Prussian children, some of whom had emigrated to Poland and fled from the Russians before coming as settlers to the area.
